At school, I can't get to any site that lets you use proxy servers, or HTTPS sites.
Isn't this just using your own computer as a proxy server?

Yes. That is why you set it up at home, then go to the URL(IP probably) that it gives you.

The problem with atomboom, is that it keeps the address in it's address. If your school blocks it by URL, then it has to be encrypted, or your SOL.

True that, but since my school for some reason don't know about it, it doesn't matter. It's been months and they still don't know that this place works. It is sufficient enough for my needs.
