Question

How can I open blocked websites like Facebook?

Community Answer

Go on Google Chrome and look at the top right corner, where there should be an icon that says "Google Apps" when you hover your mouse over it. Sometimes the school forgets to block these sites because they're links from Google. There are options to go on websites such as YouTube, Google Play, and possibly Facebook.

Question

Can I enter a blocked website without a proxy?

Community Answer

Use Google Translate. Sometimes, you can bypass the restriction by converting the blocked website into some other language that you may know.

Question

Why doesn't method 2 work for me?

Community Answer

You have probably run into a WiFi/internet connection with high-efficiency blocking, a connection that has blocked basically all above tricks, even Google Translate.

Question

I am just learning how to access restricted sites. Using method 4, do I have to purchase a computer dedicated to proxy & use another computer (e.g. laptop) to access the proxy server?

Community Answer

No. You should only need to install it onto your computer, and it will be there locally.

Question

Is there another option I can use if all of these methods are blocked on my computer?

Community Answer

You can try using a private proxy (for example, proxyseo.es) in your browser; no extra software is needed.

What do I do if proxies don't work when trying to access blocked websites?

Try using Tor, Google Translate or Web.Archive.org. See Method 5 on how to install Tor.

Question

I want to get a VPN so I can access blocked websites except that the websites needed to get the VPNS are blocked.

Community Answer

In most cases, high-quality VPNs like NordVPN or Tunnelbear have alternate links to reach them. Or reach out to their support, they can give you a workaround.

Question

So Tor can be used as protable browser, but does it have in-built proxy?

TutorialGod4

Community Answer

A TOR browser is routed through various nodes hosted in different countries. This hides your IP address from the websites you are visiting, thus acting as a proxy.

Question

What if everything is blocked, is there a free VPN? And if yes, what is the name of it? What are some free VPNS for school?

Freddy Chavez

Community Answer

I assume your school is blocking access to most websites? If that's the case a VPN would help, but I wouldn't use a free one. In most cases, they won't get around the block, and if they do, you'll have a limited amount of bandwidth, not to mention that all your data will be sold for a profit. Try some of the premium ones out there, just a quick online search for best VPN will get you a few options.
