How To Get Around To Those Blocked Websites
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?

August 24th, 2007 at 5:11 pm
Vaibhav, maybe you could try one of the methods listed in this post. Let me know if one of those worked.

I always use ninjaproxy[dot]com and there are many more outside there
August 28th, 2007 at 1:10 am
You are right, eches! Until I learnt about PHProxy I didn’t think they were all the same under the hood. Now, I understand how it all works.
August 30th, 2007 at 7:57 am
K, Living in China I know all about this, as many sites are blocked here. Until recently wikipedia, wordpress.com, blogger and many others were blocked (these are now allowed, but there are still many that are blocked).
I used to use http://www.anonymouse.org to get around this (not sure if they use PHPProxy), but recently I’ve been using the TOR anonymity network. Firefox extensions such as Torbutton and FoxyProxy let you switch between your normal connection and the TOR proxy connection as you need it.
TOR’s a bit slow and you have install it, so it may not be a good option for work or college, but it can do things the anonymous proxy websites can’t (like let me log into wordpress.com).
Having said all that, I am going to have to look into PHPProxy - sticking it on my blog’s server should be faster than any of the other services. Thanks for the great tip!
August 30th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
You are right about TORs.. they give you extra functions but slower than a proxy.
Let me know when you have it installed.. I could add your proxy page to my reference tab and send some traffic your way. That is if you want to..

September 14th, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Hi gen, I am not sure if I understand your question right. Is bebo blocked from your computer? Do you maybe mean your parents blocked bebo? Sorry if I inferred your question wrong.
September 19th, 2007 at 3:47 pm

September 19th, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Sorry, Mateah! My solutions in this topic are limited to these proxy sites. Good luck unblocking! Between who is blocking MySpace anyways? Is it at work?
October 14th, 2007 at 10:58 pm

October 19th, 2007 at 2:23 am
Kayla, sorry I can’t help you there! Looks like your school is a step ahead of us in blocking even the proxies. As I mentioned in the post, the proxy could be run from any web server and it would impossible to block all! Good luck finding one that works.

November 28th, 2007 at 1:45 pm
Jaydon, Luke.. didn’t any of the above work for you? If you searched for phproxy, there are many sites hosting it and the chances are not all of them could be blocked! Did you give the VTunnel proxy mentioned in Comment #17?
November 28th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
K, You must be regretting this post! You gave everyone the information they need, but you still get the basic “please help me” comments.
Come on guys! Read the post (and the other comments). There are several proxy servers listed that should help - if they don’t, google “anonymous proxy server” or try K’s suggestion of setting up your own. I don’t mean to flame anyone, but I’m sure you can work it out based on the above information.
November 28th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Stephen.. thanks for the support!
I don’t mind them as most of these comments are from Google search engine traffic. Not my regular readers. Sometimes I have the patience to respond sometimes I just ignore them. In fact, I approve some of these and not delete them because they think my comment section is broken and try multiple times..
And as we can see they are looking for a quick answer and don’t spend the time reading through a post or comments. I must rank highly in Google for some of these keywords..

There will always be new proxies to use. You can even create some personal ones for your own use. Costs near to nothing to get some cheap hosting
