How to see blocked sites

Well, you are working at your office and want to see some site but can't because your ISP is blocking it or your firewall won't allow it. No matter what the cause be, there are a couple of ways of getting what you want:

• Use IP instead of URL

          Some times, the blocking software uses names instead of IP numbers, so doing so you maybe able to  bypass the censorship.  So, instead of typing http://www.facebook.com, you could type something like http://123.234.345 (Note: The IP address here is for example and is not the correct one).

• Use short URL service

          There are services available on the internet like MooURL or SnipURL that shorten the URL. It might work.

• Proxy

         There are several proxy websites available that might get you there. You can get a list here and here. There are others but I won't mention them here.

• Translate Sites

          You can search your websites using Google or any other search engine but in different language. You can something like instead of typing your common URL of www.google.com, type www.google.fr or something like that.

• Tor Browser bundle

          This is a free software available at here . One thing before you go all out, when you use this software, each time you open Google, it would be in a different language and each website may take sometime to load.

• HTTPS instead of HTTP

         Just change the HTTP to HTTPS and just maybe you could access it.

• VPN software

          There are paid and unpaid services available like OpenVPN, among others.

• Setup proxy in your browser

           There are always some way for setting up proxy in your browser. Since this is just a list, I can't tell how to do so for each browser. 

• Registry Hack

         Just open up notepad and copy-paste the following:

regsvr32 SOFTPUB.DLL
regsvr32 WINTRUST.DLL
regsvr32 INITPKI.DLL
regsvr32 dssenh.dll
regsvr32 Rsaenh.dll
regsvr32 gpkcsp.dll
regsvr32 sccbase.dll
regsvr32 slbcsp.dll
regsvr32 Cryptdlg.dll

         Change file type to All Files and save it as something like internetsecure.bat.
         Then, just double click on it.

I know, this list may not be complete. If you find a method that works for you, please let us know. If you still can't access your website, then still comment, perhaps we can work something out.
