Are you having trouble and difficulties on accessing your favourite website? Does your browser send a return error return message every time you go to your favourite website? Have you ever had your facebook blocked? This problem usually occurs especially in some countries where Internet censorship is applied and people’s access to specific websites is restricted. Also, these days more and more institutions, schools and companies are implementing this type of software on their computers. But don’t let this problem get in your way to surf the net. There are many tools available out there that you can use to overcome this problem.

One of the most known methods is by using anonymous web proxy. It acts as a bridge between you and your server, because the server is where the filter and blocking software is located. The most known resource for web proxies is Proxy.org. The list contains proxies all over the world, it’s periodically updated and provides link to specific web proxies in a random order. Due to the fact that the proxies are listed randomly, the chance of getting an over used proxy is considerably decreased.

The second method is by using a hide IP address application. Its function is to hide your IP address so that you can surf the net anonymously. A rather similar function with the web proxy, the only difference is your IP address can still be identified by the web proxy site. Unlike the web proxy, this application offers total protection of your IP address. The most known free hide IP address application is TOR Project. The application suits best to advanced Internet users because the configuration is not very simple.

The last method I know to unblock website is by using a VPN. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. A great advantage of these systems is that they use encryption and other security systems so only authorized users can access the network and the data cannot be tracked. An important aspect that users must take in consideration is that before changing the IP address you must know what type of address your computer has. If you have a static IP address than you have to call your ISP and ask them to change it while if you have a dynamic IP address than you can apply any of the methods above.
