How to access Blocked Websites?

This post  is all about accessing blocked websites. Many websites are blocked in schools, colleges as well as in many countries.

Countries like China, Saudi Arabia etc., block many websites which contains articles about adult contents, religion, women, political issues, articles against the government and many more. Allowing or blocking a website entirely depends on the Country's wish. Schools and Unversities resctrict students from accessing social networking sites and downloading sites as their main goal is to use only for educational purposes.

Some examples of websites which are often blocked are:
  • Facebook
  • Youtube
  • Myspace
  • Blogs
  • Google news
  • Yahoo videos etc., 
There are always some good reasons to bypass the filters and unblock websites. The following tricks will show how to access all websites at school, college, offices or at home.

1: To access blocked website, type the IP number instead of the URL in the browser address bar. However, if your blocking software maps the IP address to the web server (reverse DNS lookup), the website will still remain blocked. To know the IP adress of a website ping it

2: Use a URL redirection service like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com. These domain forwarding services sometimes work as the address in the the url box remain the redirect url and do not change to the banned site. This will also used for shortening the url.

3: Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google’s cache, click “Cached Text Only” while the browser is loading the page from cache.

4: There are anonymizer websites who will fetch the blocked web page from their servers and display them to you. As far as the service provider is concerned, you are viewing the page on the Anonymizer website and not the blocked site.
Example: www.hidemyass.com, www. myblack.com, etc,.

5: You can access blocked or restricted websites by using Yahoo Babelfish or Google Translate language tools as a proxy server. But you just have to invoke the Google translate service with the language pair like English to Hindi or English to some other languages. Just go to Google translate and enter the website's address.

6: Browse the internet via proxy server software. Example: Your freedom, ultrasurf, unblockedproxy.net etc,.

How to Ping a Domain using Command Prompt

      Pinging is a command which tells you if the connection between your computer and a particular domain is working correctly.

Steps:
  1. In windows go to "Start menu" and type "cmd" and click on it, the command prompt opens.

  2. Type the word "ping" followed by a space and continued by the "domain name".

Example:

     See the image below for pinging and how the results are diplayed. In this example the domain name used was facebook.



Results:

         If the results show a series of replies, the connection is working. The time(ms) shows you how fast the connection is. If you see a "timed out" error instead of a reply, there is a breakdown somewhere between your computer and the domain. Pinging also gives us the IP address of the domain. In this Example: The IP adress of Facebook was 69.171.234.21

Tip:

    Shortcut for opening command prompt:

    Press "Windows logo+R"  which opens the "run" then type "cmd" and press enter.
