Top 10 Ways to Unblock Websites
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.

How to Unblock Websites
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, 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 free software, then this will provide you a minimal number of proxies and no other features than hiding IP addresses. 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.
Archive.org 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”.
WARNING: Now, that you have so many methods to choose from, it is up to you for the purpose you use them for. Please remember that ONLY YOU are responsible for your activities and we take no responsibility for the same.

internet archieve is the best thing to browse the banned websites
Is this legal, because my state is really strict about this stuff; however, I want to access https://video.ibm.com/, so that when I go into high school in the near future, I can broadcast the basketball games!
Hey, I knew about 6 of them. Nice to know more anyway. Thanks.
All your offer ways couldn’t work in Iran .
Because The Government of Iran block all port except 80,81,21 …
especial ports blocked are:
*22 : ssh
*443 : https(ssl) (included sites : Gmail , facebook , twitter , mail.yahoo.com )
*1194 : for Openvpn
*1723 : pptp (for vpn ;However, newly they don’t blocked this port , they decrease traffic to 0 byte!)
*1863 : msn messenger
*5050 : yahoo messenger
etc.
even often the Government of Iran don’t allow to download video and flash files! or use mail services like Gmail , Yahoo mail , live , etc.
Thanks a lot anyway;)

A fresh list of web proxies is available here https://www.proxy4free.com/
The best and most secure are hide ip software and VPNs, i prefer IP Privacy becasue has premium proxies that are not slowing down your Internet connection…
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
nice list , i will recommend foxyproxy addon , best easy tool !
Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I’ll make an update for this post and I will collect more resources.
It is very useful for me And those who are seeing this websites
wont let me on facebook 4 i can chat with my friends
Very nice post. I have heard about proxy servers for a long time now, but had never used one because I was not sure where to find them. So, thanks for the links. I look forward to exploring them and seeing what they are for and what they can do. Great Job!
what are the proxies you usually use?
I just want to download recently released movies but it has not been easy. many of my friends do it so fast and they pretend like they don’t but they all have the recent movies and they are like “if you want its in my laptop” so please send me how to do it so easy. thanks a million.
none work for me they have blocked them all have anything new?
Web proxies are usually the best way, providing the url of the proxy doesnt contain the word ‘proxy’ then most work/school web filters wont pick it up!
The article is very useful for me.
Thanks you for sharing.
Any of these proxy doesnt work on my office!
Do you have anything for me?
another one, useful in some cases: restart your modem/router if you have a dinamic IP (mostly common).
:-)
Cool, I had a website that I was trying to access, that keeps getting block (the new version of Firefox is annoying me)
I’ll have to try some of these…
I also had an issue of sending visitors to my site that blocked them from accessing another one of my sites – not sure why, but I just moved the webpage to the same site and it worked fine.
Great run down on how to overcome blocked sites & contents. I appreciate your list of the web proxies, since I find myself in need of one. I’m hopeful that I can find one from your list.
Other free VPN are: AlonWeb, UltraVPN, CyberGhost. I hope these will work for you. :)
But I suspect UltraVPN. Some of my friends told it is the malware. But it is really working good…
unblock it
Thanks for the great info. Hide Ip softwares and vpn services are probably the best solution to hide/change ip address.
Great unblock tools and software. Now I can unblock facebook at school and also bypass filters to unblock myspace, unblock bebo and many other blocked school websites.

Martik, there are many services available on the market but to find one that works in your country, you have to search and test man of them. It’s more a matter of luck. Some of them works better is specific regions or on specific systems.
I live in iran i’m sure u know that we can’t even get to these site to download the apps!!

Proxy services do work but all these will not helpful to access a particular r website when we most needed as I faced .
Proxy websites are one of my best ammo for the job.
That’s really informative post I was looking for. Till now I was aware of only one method of using Proxies to access blocked websites, but it is good to know that there are some other methods also.
