7+ Steps to Browse any Banned Websites

How to Browse any Blocked Websites?

 

#1. Use a proxy to browse the site in anonymity. There are tons of "free proxy servers". When you are using proxy servers please ensure you are not using it to access your banking or sharing any personal data since the data can be intercepted by the third party. But it's an easy way to access blocked sites. You can configure your browser to use proxy server using a special port or directly access proxy server and use the url bar provided in their site to type the address you want to visit. Here is a list of few free proxy servers:

   a. Hidemyass   -   https://www.hidemyass.com/proxy

   b. Kproxy         -  http://www.kproxy.com/

   c. Proxify         -  https://proxify.com/

#2. Use a paid VPN service. They typically provide you servers from many different country - pick one which won't block the sites you want to visit. VPN service usage can be tracked down so use it wisely. And "ibvpn" is cheap and speed is good too.

#3. Use TOR free service to roam the internet without any sort of censorship.

#4. For ease of use install Firefox add-on or Chrome extension. Here are few to help you with: Browsec, Zenmate, Hola(No Linux support) and Frigate.

#5. Use a smart DNS service. Here is a list of services: https://7labs.heypub.com/tips-tricks/best-smart-dns-providers.html

#6. Visit translate.google.com and type in the URL to access your site. Will work for few type of sites only.

#7. The best trick and the most free/simple one if you are slightly technical inclined. Ping the domain and get the IP address then put a host entry in /etc/hosts if you are in Linux/Mac, if using windows the etc/hosts can be found under c:\windows\system32. The entry should be in the form of "ipaddress yourcustomdomainname.com" yourcustomdomainname.com can be any name which isn't blocked.  After you access the primary url and when you navigate to a new link again it might say the site is blocked but just again change the name of the primary domain in URL to your hosts entry domain name and it would work.

#8. If your isp is really stupid you can directly use ip instead of domain name to avoid the restriction without using any of the above mentioned method.
