What is Hidden Door?
Hidden Door is a web based browser that gets around proxy blocks. If your internet connection is filtered by a proxy that blocks specific sites (or arrays of sites), this script, upon uploading on a trusted site enables you to freely surf.
What is it for?
It can be used to surf the web freely from office, school or any other places from you cannot freely surf.
Why?
Because this winter, in my university, they decided to block (using norton proxy) the whole internet exept for some trusted sites, because the choice was completly immotivated I decided to do something to avoid the proxy. Of all the possibilities the one more legal and less invasive was to rewrite a url inside a trusted domain.
How do I use this?
Trusted Site?
First of all you have to upload this script on a trusted site. To be more clear a site that the proxy allows to navigate. Usually, this kind of proxies use a precompiled list of dangerous, entertaining, porn, etc.. sites. A trusted site can be simply your site, a friend's site or any other site to wich you can upload files to and is capable of interpret php. Note: the site MUST be outside of the proxy filtering (ex: if you upload the script inside the web server of your company chances are that is under the proxy too, making this script unuseful).
Bandwidth & Server Load
This script may place a lot of work upon the web server that hosts it. If this is used intensively by more than 20 peoples, chances are that the navigation can become slow. I suggest to limit the access to this script to a few trusted person, also to avoid detection from your net administrator. The next versions will include a login system, for now you have to rely upon your discretion and eventually .htaccess if your site allows it. You can edit the disclaimer.html file to suit your needs.
Usage
In the upper-left corner there is the url input. Insert the url WITHOUT "http://", if the url is non existant or preceded by http:// the script will generate a lot of errors so be careful.
In the upper-right corner there is the google search. Insert keyword WITH "+" between them, if the keywords are entered without the + between them it will generate an error.
How can I thank you?
You can simply leave all the copyrights and the link to the site intact.. I realise that a lot of people edit it and even remove the copyright (wich is an infridgment of the GPL). If you can, please give me credit i have put much effort in this and i think that it will not ruin you leaving a simple web link in the login form..
Why your english is so strange?
It's because I am italian and I cannot write perfect english. If you find any error please let me know.
Is this legal?
The script is for education purposes only, be aware that an abuse of this script may put you in seroius troubles.
