How to access blocked sites

Lemme start this post with a note to system / network administrators who blocks internet access only because they can and they themselves surf the sites unblocked : Information is free and you cannot block it .. People will find out ways to bypass in time .. Now another note to people who wants to access blocked sites : If your school has blocked Orkut, then they have done it for your own good .. Orkut is addictive and you should find better ways to utilize your energy .. And if you want to access blocked sites from office .. Try completing whatever your boss asked you to before reading on ..

And now that the sermon is over, lemme write some tricks to bypass evil administrator’s evil policies to access what they think is bad for you .. :D :

1: The domain that you want to access is blocked ..? No problem .. most administrators block the domains by their domain names and they forget there is something called IP Address … :D .. Find out the IP address of the site that you want to visit and put it in the address bar and viola .. You can access it .. How to find out IP address of a website ..?? Just Whois it .. :D . .. You can use services like DomainTools or NetworkSolutions , Robtex… This works for websites which are on a dedicated server .. So sites like ICICIDirect can be accessed like this ..

2: First trick not working for you ..?? Try WorkFriendly .. It will let you surf the website you want in a Microsoft Word like interface to save you from your boss’s peering eyes .. Or try these language tools :

  • BabelFish

  • Google Language Tools

  • FreeTranslation

One more site that I may recommend is Google Mobile Search .. This one is useful when you are dying to find out the score and all cricket sites are blocked ..

3: Second tip is useful for static pages but if you want to dynamic websites like Orkut, you need to use a proxy site… : These are proxy sites that I’ve used and liked :

  • KProxy : This is the most famous and most used proxy website .. :D.. Goto KProxy and type in the address that you want to surf and click on Surf .. :D ..
     It wont be long before KProxy will be blocked .. So afterwards try their secure connection.. Most cocky administrators do not block secure sites as they do not know how to block them.. :D ..

  • Y11: Y11 is another secure proxy which isnt blocked by many filters .. Use it while it lasts .. :D

  • Fumo2 : Fumo2 is a nice and fast proxy .. And as its url doesnt contain word “proxy” it has less chance of getting blocked .. Fumo2 has some more aliases like BakaAdmin and IpSite.net which you can find on their home page itself ..

  • IceKeeper : IceKeeper is another great proxy that used to help me surfing Blogspot when it was blocked in my office .. Very fast too ..

  • LuckyCRM : Found this one searching for proxies online .. Turned out to be a nice one ….

  • Melap : Recommended by one of my friend .. Nice and fast too ..

  • CountryCodes : Another proxy that has a deceptive name so less prone to be blocked ..

There are many more .. Believe me, I’ll tell you how to find a new proxy .. :D .. First check the next tip :

4: Most of these proxy sites have aliases so you can use the alias in case the main domain is blocked.Here are the aliases to KProxy .. So if KProxy is blocked, try any of their aliases such as wpc1964.amenworld.com … To find alias of proxy sites, goto Robtex , type in the web site that you want to search alias for, click on Go .. In the results page, the address that are listed as ‘a’ are aliases to this domain .. So use these aliases ..

5: Actually this is combination of first and third trick .. Find out the IP address of the proxy website and then use it for surfing .. Simple .. :P

Now the last one .. How did I get all these proxy websites ..?? :D .. I used a simple query on Google which does not include any keywords that will make your system administrator think that you are searching for proxy sites .. :D .. But you will get a list of proxy sites that are using PHProxy which is the most common proxy software used on web servers .. and do not worry .. this list is huge .. and will keep on increasing .. :D ..

.. .. . . ..

Now that I’ve found a way to vent my anger on evil system administrators I feel relaxed .. I dont see logic behind blocking Hotmail or Gmail or Yahoo which are default email address for most people .. To my readers, I’ll like to request .. : If you are benefited by this write up and / or you know some more proxies or tricks that you use, please leave your comment so that others can benefit .. And book mark this page so that you can find out more updated content .. .. And if you are one of those evil administrators whose job I just made a bit more difficult, how about sharing some tips on how you are going to stop users from accessing blocked sites ..? This will improve both of us .. …

Over and all .. !

    Hey, I found the ip of a blocked site and tried but the sites are still blocked. I found out that our school used a filter called smartfilter. If you know anything about it help would be much appreciated.

    See this is what happens when you abuse us ‘hardworking’ admins.
    Did you remember to wish your admins on 27th July, SysAdmin Day?

  10. 10 mehul

    You all deserve it. Did anyone of you wish your sys admin on 27th July, SysAdmin’s Day. We sys admins work so hard and you call us evil.
    We have to put these restrictions for a reason. And you people should be obeying it. You shouldn’t be flirting with foo bar girls on orkut from work and college.

    Hey,

    You know any proxy which allows you to run youtube?…the page does “open” with most proxies, but the problem comes while running videos, coz all these proxies have specific page-cache limit..hardly sufficient for loading videos…any help?

    Thanks!

  24. 24 Xx.lilmissperfect.xX

    can any one tell me any proxy sites i can use at school.

  25. 25 Ajay

    None of the proxies are working..
    PLs update post.!!

    My office banned them all..
    provide fresh ones.

  26. 26 Vysakh

    The reason why many proxies are not working is because they dont look into small small matters such as deleting the word proxies and orkut from meta and content of page.
    Admins are (or rather the softwares they use) are smart enough to block by just scanning the content.
    Especially the meta data of the proxy homepage and proxified pages.

    I use http://www.pagemod.com to browse in office.

    Its the only working one here in UAE.

  27. 27 rios

    none of these work in my school do you have any new ones

  33. 33 total freedom

    hello i just tested a new proxy site that will enable orkut members

    http://www.totalfreedom.uni.cc

  34. 34 Rohit Arondekar

    Nice list of proxies and methods. However Administrators are always updating themselves and I guess the only way is to keep looking for new proxies. I was wondering if it is possible to tunnel through the proxy set up by the admin or whatever blocking method being used to surf sites without restriction.

    And one more thing to remember is that by using sites like Orkut through a proxy, you are effectively allowing the owners of the proxy to theoretically snoop through your personal stuff. Just a thought.

  39. 39 Shahab

    If you access Internet from a gateway (or a company proxy) chances are your sys admin can monitor your usage .. You can try Tor for some privacy though ..

    The using of proxy does not help. Exactly it can help, but only in several times. Cause organizations, also block proxy servers too. I found the solution, in using the VPN service. The VPN encrypted tunnel and the American IP, which the service gives u, help 100%.
    I chose http://strongvpn.com/
