University Blocked Websites

I have to go through my university network to get internet access as I am living in halls. Unfortunately, the bastards have blocked sites such as megaupload, rapidshare etc and so I can’t access them in any way, shape or form.
Does anybody know any way I can get around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am pretty much useless with computers and have no chance of working this out myself. Thanks.
Answer #1
Look at the following two pages in this section with similar subject lines, or use the search button
Answer #2
I got nothing. The other topics on the front page of the the helpdesk forum have little in common with this one.
I did a search and got a topic about a VPN, but I have no idea what that is.
I get that you guys must get sick of similar requests being made over and over again. If you could post a link to a topic where this kind of problem has been discussed I would really appreciate it.
Edit: I’m an idiot, I found what you were referring too.
Answer #3
VPN = Virtual Private Network
Instead of you connecting directly to Rapidshare, you connect to the VPN which in turn connects to Rapidshare.

So I tried letmethruthis and it worked for megaupload but not any of the others.
About a VPN; does anyone know of a reliable one thats safe to use? Free preferably, but doesn’t have to be. Thanks.
Answer #5
Try Cyberghost. I’ve never tried their free service, as I have cyberghost premimum, but it has to be pretty good. Just be wary, cyberghost free disconnects after 6 hours, and you get 1 GB of traffic.
