Does your workplace or college block some of your favorite websites? We have seen various hacks in the past from setting up a tunnel session to your home computer to going to proxies.
Now, you can just go to one of these following web sites to access those sites.
- Kwiq.net, Zelj.com, Qloy.com
They all essentially do the same – unblock blocked websites. You can also use these sites if for some reasons, I don’t want to know about, you would like your IP address be not traced.
PHProxy – Anonymizing Web HTTP Proxy
After looking under the hood of these sites, I found that they are all just using a Open Source Web HTTP Proxy called PHProxy. You can run this from any server, for instance your blog host. Your hosting server would act as a medium between you and the websites you are getting to. The ip address of your host will be recorded at the sites you visit. Of course the server running PHProxy should have access to the blocked sites.
Download PHProxy
Use your Home Computer to Unblock Sites
If you’d like you can in fact run a web server in your home computer and install PHProxy on there. You can use a solution like DynDNS which gives you a easy to remember name from one of their free domains which can be mapped to your home computer IP address.
You are probably thinking how would this work if I don’t have a static IP as would most of the Cable or DSL customers. You can use a utility to keep your home computer IP synced with DynDNS service.
Now, you can use your home computer to unblock these sites.
Should you unblock websites?
A website is probably blocked by a workplace or university for a good reason and it might cost you to get around it. For example, porn sites or gambling sites. Stay away from them while at work. What you do elsewhere is nobody’s business.
But, we hear about some Corporate or University rules that block legitimate sites for unfathomable reasons only known to the webmaster or the policy maker. For such instances, here is an easy way to regain your power!
I might just install this script in ShanKri-la and provide this service to our readers. Watch out for that..
If you have stories about legitimate websites being blocked, let’s hear it.
Did you know someone else could view your MySpace Private Profile Pictures?

i understand why a university would block access to porn and video sites, for example. but i find it strange to find what i would think are actually pretty educational sites or useful ones, blocked by the school network. weird actually.

Thank you for this website…..i appriciate it….but how do i get past the block

I had heard that the new IE browser would include a ‘porn’ mode. It basically removes your IP from being detected. Does anyone confirm this? Would this also unlock sites like MySpace that are off limits on a college library?

These links are good but even if I remove the check on “remove scripts” most scripts don’t work. Does anybody know a proxy that can handle javascript?
3. February 2009 at 3:15 pm
well this is what i use to use but i think my school caught on hope this helps

All the proxy sites are blocked at my work! GRR!! If they gave me work to do, I wouldn’t need to go on Facebook…I’M SO BORED!!!

Proxy sites are good only when it remains undetected by the systems administrations, but the good thing is the webmasters are continually building new proxy sites.

i have some sites you could use to get around blocking but you have to understand that people try all they can to get around these things and sometimes we cant even get past it with the ones we have. If my sites dont work then they dont work :
pieroof.com
browseunblocked.com
camolist.com
camo list will give you alot of sites you could possibly use

Why are there such things as blocked websites. Kids like me love to play games on the computer and cry that there is a blocked website. So if you care about the kids you would shut down our blocked websites. There are like 55 websites I wished i COULD GO ON (WHICH ARE NOT INARRPROTE AND THER IS NO BLOOD) BUT BECAUSE OF THOSE STUPID BLOCKED WEBSITES i CAN’T PLAY AND THEYARE REALLY FUN.

you may also use glype proxy to get around blocked sites

Choosing a way to access blocked websites depends very much on the filter installed on your computer. There are different methods that work in different situation. For example i tried web proxies but had no luck. Now I’m using a hide ip software and through this I’m able to bypass filter.

live in China but I set up a server in the States. I charge $3/month to friends. The only catch is that sometimes if they discover it I have to set up a new one which is a few days of downtime.
You can write me an email and I’ll give you free access for a couple weeks if you want. blockedbychina at gmail.com

Try ultrasurf u download it on a usb key then when u run the program it routes u to a different sever and unblocks ALL websites full functioning unlike a proxy
14. October 2009 at 2:27 pm
these web sites did not work
6. November 2009 at 6:27 pm
I’m confused. I went to the sites and they don’t say anything about how to view blocked websites. Is there something I’ missing?
