Yo, I can't afford the internet right now so I do all my browsing from my college. It seems that overnight my colege started blocking everysite I ever visited. Its ok right now cause I'm using Tor. Although I fear they may start blocking Tor.
So in fear of that I ask you. What can I do if they ever start such a thing?
Complain to your college? Worst case you can afford to buy hosting and setup a proxy through that, though that requires computer tech knowledge...
Looks like you have to be careful of which websites you look at when you're surfing on campus. I doubt they'll block Gmail, but they might block other (NSFW) websites.
Speaking of which, what websites are you visiting with their connection?

Well there's 4chan of course, then various blogs, a couple of music blogs that were blocked because "P2P File sharing is not allowed", They even blocked Source forge because of
"File Sharing".
I've tried complaining and requesting that they unblock some of the sites but the people in charge state that "Those sites are not academic". When I inform them about the 70 some odd people on myspace and facebook they don't reply. Man some people are just so stuck up.
> 4chan of course
For which reason was 4chan blocked?
> a couple of music blogs that were blocked because "P2P File sharing is not allowed",
Well, they have a point there, although you can bypass that easily anyway...
> They even blocked Source forge because of "File Sharing".
You can certainly complain about this. Sourceforge shares files legally, and the files are directly tied to CS academia - they're computer software for fucks sake. Actually, that is fucking outrageous.
If you could find the name/position of the person(s) who decided this, along with a screenshot of the blocked sourceforge page, you might be able to cause an uproar on the internet by simply posting it to reddit or some other similar website.
You might as well get a job or something to be able to afford your own internet. How expensive can it be anyway?
Sourceforge as filesharing? Complaining about non academic sites? They might as well block the whole Internet.
What about tunneling? If you can use TOR, then you could tunnel your browsing. Possible a friend could lend you part of his internet connection.

Either setup an sshd in your friends computer or buy an ssh account (they're pretty cheap).
For 5 bucks a month (scroll down to the last option):

etc. you can google for 'ssh account hosting'
There is a thing called bridge exactly for the case when Tor as whole is blocked.
You just connect to a bridge which essentially acts as a proxy into Tor so all that is visible is an encrypted connection to a bridge.
