10 Ways To Access Blocked WebSites


Websites like facebook , twitter  and other social networking sites are generally blocked in schools, colleges and offices . There exist some tricks by which you can bypass  the restrictions and access blocked sites , the most obvious is the use of proxies or Anonymizer websites . But using proxies doesn’t always works as they gets blocked by firewall as well . Here I am listing some other methods to access blocked contents .

1. Use IP instead of URL

Each website has its equivalent ip address . This method works best when blocked sites are stored as a list of URLs  .You can use  ip address  to access blocked contents . For example to access facebook you can use  ip address 69.63.189.11 in your address bar . You can use ip-address.com to find the ip address of other websites .

2. Use Google Cache

All major search engines like Google yahoo and Bing stores cached pages of websites themselves . You can access  websites by viewing their  cached copy on search engines  .

3. Translations services

Translation services like Google Translate , translate a website from one language to another and  display the translated results on their own page .You can access the blocked website by re-translating  blocked url using such online translation services .

4. Retrieve web pages via Email

Web2Mail is a free service that sends any websites  into your inbox. All you need to do is send an email to www@web2mail.com with the URL as subject title.

5. WayBack Machine

Wayback machine periodically keeps a copy of almost all websites on the internet  from the date they have started . You can access your  site by fetching its latest copy from archives .

6. Screen-Resolution.com

Screen-Resolution.com allows you to view any website in a different resolution . This could be an interesting tool to access blocked websites .

7. Google Mobile Search

Google Mobile Search displays a web page as if you are viewing it on a mobile  phone .You can use it to access blocked web pages,  but javascript and css will be disabled .

8. Redirect with Short URL service

Short URL service are used for converting a long URL in a shorter one . You can convert your restricted url into a shorter one and use  it to access blocked websites . This trick dont always works . The two popular url shortening service are bit.ly and adf.ly

9. USB Browsing

You can use this method if you have access to usb port  ,you can load usb with your own portable Firefox, with the  portable Tor plugin  or you can directly use  tor-firefox .

10.  Proxy Websites

    I am in Shanghai for a few months now, I`m using http://www.highspeedvpn.com to access blocked sites.

    Works well for me, the VPN unblocked Facebook, YouTube etc.

    Maybe you should try that if the proxies don`t work (it`s a paid service, about 10$/month).

    mate you forgot to put the vpn service, please don’t be offend but from what it’s listed here is the only way when the mapping is blocked by provider. i know is not free but it does the job the proper way. if u can’t bypass restrictions you should try to look for one, just google there are a lot of providers, you can check this reviews site for instance http://www.vpnservices.net/, have fun and freedom of inet !
