Are you being blocked from any network, and having problem in visiting your favorite sites?
It often happens that visitors are blocked from specific sites from a network. If you are at a school, it is quite likely that you are being blocked from popular sites like facebook, myspace, you tube or other social networking sites. Same restrictions are being applied at many work places, by governments, etc.
To access blocked sites, you can consider using a proxy.
What is a proxy?
If you are not familiar with proxy servers, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers.
Every computer has a digital id (ip address), and when your ip address is being blocked from accessing certain sites, you can visit those sites through a proxy. You basically visit your required sites through the proxy, using the proxy server's ip address, not yours.
Here is one good proxy site:
Although it says 'unblock facebook', it actually can unblock any site. You can try it out to access any blocked site. I love this site a lot, as it loads extremely fast, has a clean setup, and DO NOT have any pop ups or annoying ads on the browser pages. All you need to do is enter your required web address in the browser bar and start surfing.
Sometimes, from some networks, specific proxies are blocked too. So when a proxy is blocked, you can use fresh, new proxies. To get fresh, new proxies regularly, keep visiting this site:
They feature a lot of new proxies daily. Also, you can subscribe to their mailing list, and they send fresh new proxies regularly right to your inbox.
