Using TOR and other proxy servers

[inso-mniac]

I'm SURE they use proxy, cause I cannot connect unless i configure my Internet Explorer to proxy :
1) At my home connection : 10.100.40.1 Port 8080
2) At school : proxy.aub.edu.lb Port 3128

And they both refuse most connections except from known ports of HTTP, HTTPS and MSN, but not the ones i care about : Online games, P2P...

And by the way, you can get content without the ISP monitoring it, one example is the HTTP-TUNNEL, but they will offer you no more than 5 KB/s without pay and 100 KB/s with pay. What I think is possible, if we're good enough, is to configure TOR to do the same thing (regardless that it also won't give you the full power of your connection).
