12 Ways to Access Blocked Sites

Bookmark and Share
Restricted access through the Internet has become a common problem in many countries, especially in the Asian region. If access to a site and the information is limited / blocked by your network administrator or ISP, then the users who are in a place (school, office, cafe, etc.) or the country will have difficulty in accessing it. Examples of services that are often blocked by various countries / office is Youtube.

Access restrictions on the other hand are also done by the content providers to prevent access by users outside the target market, usually because of legal problems. Examples are Internet radio services like Pandora and video streaming Hulu, ABC and even Youtube (for a particular video). One last big case is how Google to placate the U.S. administration for not providing his application to users in Cuba, Syria, South Korea, Iran and Sudan.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. Below are the various ways that you can try to access blocked sites.

1. Using IP address
If the application is used only block the domain name only (e.g. *. youtube.com), this filtering can using other way by using the IP address of the site (for example to YouTube 209.131.36.158).

To find the IP address of a site, we can try to ping to that site. To get to the command prompt (Start> Run> type: cmd> Enter) and type ping nama_situs.com and press enter. Will display the IP address of the site.

Moreover, to obtain the IP address of a site can also be done through Host to IP services and Whois Domain Tools.


2. Using the Short URL Service
if the case was the same as above, another way that can be done is to use URL shortening services like TinyURL, MooURL and SnipURL.


3. Using the Online Archive and Cache
Some search engines such as Google and Yahoo keep a cache of a variety of popular sites can still see the contents of the site even though the original has been blocked or deleted though. Click the link titled 'cached' then we'll be taken to a page from a search engine's cache (if stored).
In addition there are also special services designed to help you search the archives online. Wayback Machine is a service that periodically save a copy of almost every website on the Internet from the beginning of these sites running.


4. Using Online Translator
Famous online translator services like AltaVista BabelFish, Google Translate, WorldLingo and Live Translator to help us to translate the site from one language to another. Simply enter the URL of the site and choose the option that blocked the translation into the language you want (or the same language).


5. Subscribe to RSS Feeds
This trick may not apply to the various sites, but if you want to visit sites that provide RSS syndication feature, (usually news sites and blogs), you can try to subscribe and read it with an RSS / Feed Reader.
Services RSS / Feed Reader that you can use either a desktop application (Feed Demon, Sharp Reader Feed Reader and), the web browser Firefox, Opera, IE and others, or with an additional extension (InfoRSS, Sage, and NewsFox), and the latter using the online application (Google Reader and Feed Show).


6. Using Anonymizer Service
This service is basically used to enhance privacy while surfing with a disguise your identity from the site through a proxy. Using anonymizer services, IP addresses and other information that the sites will not know you you visit. Some services even provide additional features such as blocking cookies, ads, and encryption. Because not access the site directly, sometimes you can access sites that had been blocked.

Most of these services such as pay, but some are still available for free such as Anonymouse, the Daily Cool Links, and YouHide.


7. Using Proxy in Browsers
There are so many free proxy that you can find on the internet, some sites you can use for free:
* Fresh Proxy List
* Proxy List
* Proxy 4 Free
* Proxy Bucket
* Samair Proxy

Once you select a proxy from the sites above, the configuration of your browser to use the proxy. Proxy settings in Firefox

Click on the Tools> Options, on the window that appears select the Advanced tab, then Network, select Manual proxy configuration and enter the IP address in the box HTTP Proxy Proxy and fill his Port.

To be able to proxy settings, more broadly, can with the add-ons about the proxies that are widely available.

Proxy Settings in Internet Explorer

Click Tools> Internet Options. Select the Connections tab, click LAN Settings, then check the Use a proxy server for you’re .... And type the IP address and proxy port in the box provided.


8. Using Google Mobile Search
You can also try using the Google mobile search, but usually the results obtained are not maximal. This is the same way as when using a web translator or web proxy.


9. Through Email
Best service for this trick is Web2Mail. We can subscribe to our favorite websites via email. You can also subscribe to many sites at once arranged in folders so neat. Every time a web page changes, Web2Mail will automatically send a new page to your email address. You can also set what and when shipped.

There is also RSSFWD service that will automatically turn RSS into email sent to your email account.


10. Using Additional Applications
Additional applications are referred to other than a browser application that can be used to access the Internet to avoid the block. Some of the applications that can be used are:

GPass is a free application that provides an encrypted connection to bypass censorship and filtering. It uses an encrypted tunnel and socks can utilize other anonymizer applications like Skype and Tor as an extra.

Users simply drag and drop certain applications such as web browser, email client, IM and other applications that require an Internet connection into the program window GPass. Without the need for other settings that are usually complicated, you can instantly run applications such as usual with more secure. Very useful for those who use the Internet access using the hotspot / Wi-Fi public. Try also Hotspot Shield.

Other application you may try is Tor. This application is already known to be very tough to make our presence on the Internet are unknown. The development was originally carried and used by the U.S. Navy (U.S. Navy) to secure government communications. How it works is to use a lot of anonymous servers simultaneously to a web site requests.


11. Remote Connect to PC
this last is the most powerful way, but there are several requirements that must be met. You must have a computer in another place that is active and connected to the Internet, for example a home computer. Install and run applications such as Remote Connect the free UltraVNC or TightVNC and use a secure password.

After that install the client application on your computer that you use elsewhere, and type the IP address / Host name / computer name in the home (visit whatsmyip.org to get your IP address) and password to use your home Internet network that is free to access any Your site can be accessed at home.

To obtain a higher success rate, also use a few tricks below:
Use your domain name if the internet connection in the office / school block all requests that use IP addresses (DynDNS or better yet, if you already have your own domain)
Use VNC HTTP protocol which can be accessed through a browser (no need to install the VNC Viewer on the computer office / school)


12. Using the Alternative Service
If you know the online service alternatives that could be used and always store data online, you need not get angry, upset or stress just because one site is blocked. Suppose access to GMail email service is blocked from your location, use another email service to forward to GMail or access it through the application or device that supports POP3.

Do not make the Internet as a primary data storage. Especially for important and confidential files. Get used to backup data online to a computer or vice versa. Maybe cloud computing is as fragile as her name ^ ^. Can you read the opinion of the founder of GNU about cloud computing.

This section is not a last resort, but I enter to remind you that no longer are stuck with one service on the Internet, and start looking for alternatives now available on the Internet, which is very much open space.
