Ok so im in college and theres this firewall that goes throughout campus. What pisses me off is that they are always blocking my internet saying that im downloading when i dont. And they tell me its coming from my physical address. Is there a way I can block everyone from seeing my IP and physical address cause i want to prove a point to these bleeps that work for the schools computer system. I want to prevent anyone from seeing specs of my computer so when they tell me that im doing this stuff I can say "Yea, nice try". Thanks in advance.

Hello Dr. Joe,

Schools, and most business, have established a computer use policy, and implement it by whatever means.
Any attempt to circumvent such policy exposes these computer systems to a host of viruses, trojans, spyware, dialers, etc.
It is most likely a violation of your schools terms of use for their system, also.
