How to unblock websites? These days,
Internet filtering and controlled access is the new trend. More business owners
are implementing filters within their companies with the purpose of blocking
websites. Their intention is understandable but, on the other side, people love
freedom and sometimes they feel mistreated. However, here are some things you
can do that will help you bypass filters and unblock
websites.



1. Use web
proxies.
Many free online services allow you to access
blocked websites through a proxy server. A proxy server is an intermediary
between the user and the server where the request was send. Here is a list with
the most known resources of web proxies:
Proxy.org,
HideMyAss.com,

Kortaz.com,
KProxy.com and
Anonymouse.org


2. Use VPN connections.

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is like a tunnel over
the public network. The advantage of using VPNs over web proxies is that VPNs
are more secure because they are using advanced encryption and allow you to
access all the applications (mail, chat, browser etc) in complete anonymity and
not only the web sites. The most known free VPN is
Hotspot Shield.


3. Use Hide IP
software.
These are easy to use and even if the main
functionality is to hide IP address and unblock websites, there are applications
that can provide you more than that – like cleaning online tracks, testing
proxies, manually adding proxy etc. Usually if you choose a free software, then
this will provide you a minimal number of proxies and no other features than
hiding IP address.
Not My IP is one of the latest free hide IP address software that
has already gained a large market followed by the old
UltraSurf which is
already very popular. Regarding paid applications that provide more features and
have a complex structure, my recommendations are
IP Privacy and
Hide My IP.


4. Use Toolbars and
Firefox add-ons.
Toolbars and
Firefox add-ons are in
fact software applications that work on specific browsers and with a simple
click you can enable or disable online anonymity.


5. Use translation services.
Introduce the
link of the blocked website in the translation field (for example in

Google Translator) and choose a random language to translate from because
translation from English to English is not supported.


6. Use Google cache.

In the Google search field type cache: before
the URL of the blocked website. For example type
cache:http://www.domain.com


7. Use Internet Archive.

Internet Archive allows
you to view blocked websites through the Wayback Machine. This will retrieve all
pages of a specific website indifferent if the website is
blocked.


8. Use Web2Mail
service.

Web2Mail it is a free email service
that can sent to your email address specific web pages. You sign up for an
account and get set to receive specific websites by email.


9. Change the http of an URL into
https
This is the easiest way to access blocked websites. Of
course, this might not work every time but you have many other solutions also.
This is the fastest one.


10.
Use IP address of the website instead of URL.
To use
the IP address of a website instead of URL, you must first find its IP. To do
this open command prompt and type: “ping
domain.com”.
