Gaming Getting a file to someone with a filter

banjo2 · May 20, 2020

I have no idea if this is the correct place to ask, but eh, if it's the wrong place then someone can move it. Anyways...

I know a guy who wants to homebrew his DSi, but his school Chromebook blocks https://DSi.cfw.guide along with several file hosting sites (Mega, MediaFire, Google), and using FTP.

The file that I'm attempting to send to him is 25.72 MB (zip) containing the latest versions of TWLMenu++ and Memory Pit.

I don't have a Chromebook, but does anyone have a solution for this?

I really don't get this using a school computer thing. Just seems like a way to get into trouble.

Probably not ideal to wander round there with a USB either at this point (latency sucks but the bandwidth is excellent)

Encrypt it (so the email does not scan through and see file names it does not like) and put it in an email, possibly split it as well? Email attachment limits vary (some might be 20 megs, 10 is a good number though). Bonus there is you will be assured it works as it won't extract if it does not.
There are standalone versions of things like 7zip as well if installing things is hard.

After a lot of trial and error, we finally found a way to get it working through email, thank you

If the filter is implemented using DNS, an alternate DNS server such as Cloudflare DNS or Google DNS could bypass it.

Google Drive doesn't work because his email blocked it, whether or not it was public. Like I said though, we found a way. Too bad it's just not working for him to install it, though.

Tor Browser with an obfs4 bridge (one from bridges.torproject.org) or (if they were somehow able to block all public obfs4 bridges) the meek-azure bridge.
Meek-azure makes Tor traffic look like "talking to Microsoft Azure" traffic.

I'm fairly sure he wouldn't be able to get Tor

https://gettor.torproject.org/
This might not work, though.

all the file sites like mega,dropbox, onedrive are blocked?
So protect the file from the contents being displayed use win rar with a password. you could put it on archive.org

How about sending him the Tor Browser apk as an attachment?

That might work, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe we'll try it someday
