How to Access Any Blocked Website through Online [Several Methods]

Access Any Blocked Website through Online

     Generally our Schools, Colleges, Offices will block few websites which we cannot get access through online. Now-a-days Government became very smart and banned or blocked few bad websites in India which cannot be accessed. But, we all love to get things for free of cost through online, but the admins or others will stops these acts. So, today I am going to share a few methods to access any blocked website through online from any Country without violating any cyber laws. Many people might already knew these steps, but I do know that there are many people who do not know how to do it. Use these methods for good purpose only. So, here are the following tricks.

Methods to Access Any Blocked Website Through Online

Several methods to access any blocked website through online can be done through these ways.

1. Using IP address instead of URL

Use the IP instead of using the URL of the site. This method is entirely depends on the software or appication used. Sometimes the blocked sites are stored as per the list of URL’s. For example: www.yahoo.com, www.facebook.com, www.abcd.com, etc. In such a case using the IP instead of the URL might work. In a local computer, doing a ping domain.com command in command promt wll return you the IP address. You can also find it via online with the search of Whatsmyip. If you are a MAC user then use Terminal.

2. Rewriting the URL

This trick works for few websites, and it may not work for many websites. Especially this trick is worked for the websites who host their sites in a VPS or Dedicated Server Environment and have an unverified SSL installed for that domain name. To access these sites all you need to do is follow the steps.

• Go to the address bar of your browser
• Instead of typing www.websiteURL.com or http://www.WebsiteURL.com, try typing https://www.WebsiteURL.com.

So, if the domain has an unverified SSL installed it will show you security pop up notice like the website you are going to visit is unverified/untrusted site. Choose the option “Proceed Anyway” (Chrome users) or add exception certificate in Firefox to proceed to the website.

3. Changing the DNS Server

DNS is the Server which contains all the information about all the websites from entire the World. If any country blocks any website for their Country IPs, they block it in their own DNS server. So, people who are using their server DNS will not be able to access the sites which are blocked. This generally happens in MNC companies. For this if you use Google DNS or OpenDNS, you can access the blocked websites easily. This trick generally works very well. For this steps are as follows.

Steps For Windows 7,8,8.1,Vista Users

4. Converting to Short URL

This trick works in a rare cases. If the original url is banned then convert the Original url to short url by using online tools. It might just help you to bypass the settings. There are different short url services like google, bitly, etc. If this method is worked for any, let us know in your comments.

5. Proxy Tricks

Proxies are the services that let you use their internet connection and they bypass almost all the blocked or restrictions by the internet service providers. You can get 100’s of sites out there that distributes free proxies of any country. Few of them don’t know how to use proxies. The most popular proxy service websites are hidemyass, kproxy, etc. What you have to do is, just copy the site URL and paste it in any proxify website then choose your proxy location and visit the site. This is very easy and simple method where you can get access to the blocked sites online easily.

6. Cached Versions of Site

When the site is not live online, or if you are not able to access that site. Google shows an option like Cache version or cached. By clicking on Cached, you can access the site which is blocked or which is not live through online. But, the latest articles cannot be shown through cache version. Only few of the articles are available through this method.

7. VPN trick

For complete anonymity on the Web and to be able to access all websites blocked in your country, a virtual private network (VPN) is the best solution. The best VPNs are not free. If you really need privacy or want to avoid proxy websites, you can try Private Internet Access at $7 (Rs. 420) per month, or TorGuard at $10 (Rs. 600) per month. The above mentioned free web proxy sites also provide VPNs, you can also take a look into their pricing.

8. Internet Archive – Way Back Machine

This is a commonly used tool by every blogger. If their site got any problem and lost data in all of a sudden. Then this tool is used to get the data from our site. We cannot get total data which is present in our site, but we can get some of the data from it.

9.  Retrieve web pages Via Email

Simple way to get the blocked site data is via Email to your inbox. Web2Mail is a free service that sends websites you want to read right into your inbox. All you need to do is send an email to www@web2mail.com with the URL as subject title.

10. Google Translate

As we all know Google translate is a tool which is used for translating the text from one language to another language. So, here we have one small trick to access the blocked site. Before entering the URL of the site of your choosing, choose the page language as any language except English and the translated language as English. The blocked site will be visible in English.

11. Additional Proxy Layer

Last but not lead method is additional proxy layer. Sometimes these methods may not work if your ISP is very smart. If that is the scenario, then we have another trick to access the blocked sites. Before using this trick, I would like to warn you that as you are going to use Proxy IPs, do not provide sensitive information over proxyfied line and if you do, do it on your own risk.

Now lets get started. There are many sites who provide Proxy IP and Port List for free of cost, like HideMyAss Proxy List, etc. Visit any of these sites and grab one Proxy IP : Port combination which hast good speed and fast connection type – as shown in the screenshot  below.

After you get one Proxy IP : Port combination, use the following procedure to add it in popular browsers like Google Chrome & Firefox.

For Google Chrome users

• Hit OK and save. That’s all. You are good to go.

For Firefox users
