How to Unblock Websites at  School, Work, Home or Anywhere Internet censorship has grown drastically over the past few years with countries like China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran taking the lead over
others in blocking   sources of free   unbiased    information.   China is known to have even forced
Google    to filter its  search  results.  Government censorship is not the only reason why websites
are blocked. Some   network    administrators also  prevent users from  accessing certain websites
which they believe   are of   no use in places such as schools and sometimes, even offices. In such
times, you may need to access a website that is  blocked. This article explains how. Which websites are most commonly Blocked?  The most commonly blocked  websites includewebsites about pop
culture, health,  medicine, women, religion and   politics. Social websites are also often blocked
and include   the like  s of Facebook, Twitter,   YouTube, Pinterest,    Instagram, Reddit,   Digg,
  Hulu, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Blogger (Blogspot),   MySpace, Bebo, Flickr, Yahoo! Messenger,
Typepad,      Technorati, StumbleUpon and   Delicious. Sites like Google News, Wikipedia,
Wikileaks and eBay are also blocked at certain  places.There are many genuine reasons for which you
might want to visit blocked websites at your  school or office. Given below are the ways you
can use to regain access to the blocked website  you wish to visit.1. Cache method : Most search engines maintaina cache of web pages indexed by them. Youcan search for a website on Google , Yahoo! or  Bing and click on the cached link that is given next to the result. To load the web pages more  quickly, you can visit the text-only version. Since the website is provided from the search engine's servers, it can be used to overcome IP  address and URL based filtering.
2. Using Google Mobile Search: For users   browsing on a slow mobile internet connection,  Google Mobile search removes all CSS styline and JavaScript to present a stripped down version of the web page from Google's own  server. As the content is provided from    Google's servers, the blocking software feels  that you are visiting Google, whereas in reality,
you are viewing the blocked website. Go to  Google Mobile Search . To visit the website of your choice, just replace tweakandtrick.com in the URL with the address of the website.

Despite the name, Google Mobile Search can be  accessed from your PC as well. 3. Access blocked websites with Google   Translate . You can use translation service from
Google to visit blocked websites. To do so, enter a language different from the website's
language in the 'From' field and English in the
"To" field. You can also use this method to  bypass software that block websites on the
basis of specific keyword mentions. Just   translate the URL you wish to visit in a different
language to overcome the keyword block.   4. Create a 2 layered unblocker: Go to Google
Translate, open any proxy website inside it and   then use that proxy website to access your
blocked website. In this way, you can achieve   two layered website unblocking.
5. Use RSS Readers for accessing restricted  blogs: All blogs syndicate their content via RSS
feeds which you can subscribe to in web based  RSS readers like Feedly to access blocked
 content. For example, the RSS feed of this blogis located at http://feeds.tweakandtrick.com/
tweakandtrick .6. To access a blocked website, you can enterits IP address instead of the URL in your
browser's address bar . This can bypass mostbasic forms of website blocks. Although if the
blocking software maps the IP address to the website domain, the website will still remain

blocked. You can find the IP address of an website by pinging the website domain name in
the Command Prompt in Windows (Terminal in   other operating systems) and noting its IP

address. Execute ping www.tweakandtrick.coming the Command Prompt to ping
www.tweakandtrick.com.  7. Use IP Address to Decimal conversion : If you
cannot access your blocked website by enteringits IP address, you can enter the decimal
equivalent of the URL's IP address to getaccess to it. Search Google for IP to Decimal   IP Address of the banned website and Google  will convert it into decimal. Enter that into your
browser's address bar and see if the blocked  website opens.8. Nyud.net : To unblock blocked websites, just   add nyud.net to their URL. For example, if this
blog ( www.tweakandtrick.com ) is blocked, youcan visit it by going to
www.tweakandtrick.com.nyud.net .9. Opera Mini Simulator: Opera Mini, the mobile
browser for users with a slow internet    connection, can be installed on your computer.
You can use this PC version to visit blocked  websites as Opera Mini accesses content from
Opera's servers instead of accessing it from the  servers on which the website is hosted. Most
websites will load through this method, although  the quality of the results obtained may not be
that good for JavaScript heavy websites.   10. TOR: TOR or The Onion Router is a free
software that protects the privacy and security  of its users by channeling data through multiple
nodes so as to prevent the original data from   being unscrambled. Although browsing through
TOR is a bit slow, it is one of the most effective   ways of bypassing restricted websites and
protecting your privacy.  11. Proxy websites: There are many proxy    websites (anonymizers) which open blocked  websites on their servers and present the data  to you. This hides the address of the website   you are trying to visit from your internet service  provider. Few popular free ones include
Anonymouse and KProxy.  12. VPN software: VPN or Virtual Private
Network software can be described as a tunnel  under the public network that offers more
anonymity than proxy websites as it also
encrypts the data transferred by the blocked  website thus, offering complete anonymity.
Although most VPN software are available as  paid software only, HotSpotShield is a popular
free alternative.
13. IP hiding software: Sometimes, websites  block users on a particular IP address from
visiting themselves. In such cases, free IP    hiding software like UltraSurf can be used to
visit them. While free software offer very less   features as compared to paid ones, they are still
effective for overcoming most common blocks.   14. Changing DNS servers : A common way of
blocking websites is preventing DNS servers  from giving the locations of the blocked
website's servers. In such a scenario, changing    your DNS servers to those of OpenDNS or
Google DNS will be your best option to get over   the block. As an additional advantage, this can

also increase your internet speed .   15. Edit your host files: Some malware and
blocking software edit your host files and add a  website's address in them to prevent you from
visiting it. In such a scenario, you can edit your  host file with Notepad by visiting “C:\WINDOWS
\system32\drivers\etc” if C is your system  drive. In Windows 10, Windows 8(.1), Windows 7,
a warning from UAC might be displayed.
