ACCESS BLOCKED WEBSITES LIKE ORKUT,MYSPACE-SITES BLOCKED IN WORKPLACE OFFICE,SCHOOL-COLLEGES OR COUNTRY

In our work places like offices colleges schools most of the illegal sites are blocked and user can not access them. But in this way many legal sites brilliant sites communities are blocked from colleges offices schools and other places like libraries.The main sites blocked includes the most famous ORKUT SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE from google, YOUTUBE VIDEO SHARING SITE from the same google and many such sites just to save their overall bandwidth usage b’coz a people very very new to internet would be an old member of such sites.The current technique used for blocking is IP Filtering which is widely being used to block sites in countries like china,Saudi Arabia india for sexual and abusive contents. Blogger.com hosted blogs were banned in india & pakistan suspecting terrorism. Bellow are some steps to visit such blocked sites like orkut.com in workplaces.

1.ANONYMOUS BROWSING
These sites known as Websites Anonymizers offer proxy browsing where if you request for a webpage like orkut.com it’ll fetch the information from the site we requested for and display to us with in their own site. ISP gets an impression that we are accessing that Anonymizer site not the site which we really visited via that site.(here it’s orkut.com)But they may display their own ads on those pages that’ll become little tidy.They automatically use many inbuilt proxy servers for this. Examples of sites offering this are
ProxyBrowsing
Pruxy.com
kproxy.com(Kproxy.com-I use this to browse orkut & gmail in my college lab as they are blocked there-this is better than other proxy sites as there i could not login to orkut & gmail but this was possible here -one of my friends informed me about this.)

2.USE URL REDIRECTION TECHNIQUES
Use redirection services like TinyURL which give a unique link to any site. Just make blocked sites like orkut.com be pointed by such a unique URL like that aof tinyurl.This works b’coz such redirection sites make the adress bar blank while loading. For orkut.com i’ve just made a tiny url link http://tinyurl.com/3ndzn by clicking which you’ll land in orkut you can make any and many for any site you like by visiting Tinyurl.Com homepage.

3.GOOGLE PROXY-LANGUAGE TOOLS

Use language tools like Google Translator or Google LanguageTools to access restricted sites.Here’s what you need to do visit Google Translator and there you see under Translate 2 types of translations are mentioned in or. One is text translator which u ignore just after or there is a website translator. Just write the website name(obviously the blocked site you want to visit) at the text box just bellow the text ” Translate a web page:“. In the language selector box select “French to English” or any language to english or English to English if you still want the site to be in english and then click on translate. Now the intended page in english will appear as if inside google translator not the actual webpage so now we indirectly accesed blocked site as this translator site which is unblocked acts as a proxy. Trick here is that the site intended is in english but we need to translate it to english b’coz we need the translator site act as proxy so we used French 2 English in that translator.

The output link was like http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://dishadow.blogspot.com&langpair=fr|en which was from french to english as indicated by “langpair=fr|en” and the site mentioned after “u=” in the o/p link is the site intended which is http://dishadow.blogspot.com here. If we do from english to english we’ve to write “langpair=en|en” and if we intend to view blocked site orkut.com then u=http://orkut.com resulting in total link http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http://orkut.com&langpair=en|en which can be used directly without visiting the translator sites. Due to this google translator is some times said as Google Proxy.

Other translator sites such as Babel Fish Translation Free translation Language Translation can be used to translate from english to english or from other language to english.

4.CACHED PAGES
Most search engines like Google search caches each site it indexes and such caches are pages with contents of website by deleting all stylesheets images etc. seach for site you want that’s blocked in google or yahoo.After a list oif results appear if u wanna see one then don’t click on the link directly.Just see some link “Cached pages” or like that near to the actual link. Click there to see cached pages.

5.BROWSE USING PROXY SERVERS
If a site blocks your IP and disallows you to visit that, then browse that link anonymously by hiding your IP to them in folowing way using proxy servers.Use a proxy server. You can get a list of available public proxy server easily by searching “proxy servers” at Google search. Such sites contain a huge list of IP adress and port number of the Proxy servers. Some examples of such sites are
http://proxy.6te.net/
http://proxy.org/lists.shtml
http://proxy-list.org/en/
Search for the string “free proxy lists” with & without quotes at search engines like Google, Yahoo and directories like Google Directory for more such proxy lists.

Choose a proxy server(out of above list) and note down its IP address and port number.Then you’ll use these to change u’r IP to this IP in the browser only by specifying the browser to use a proxy and in proxy information enter this proxy IP & port No.(Real IP is intact-no problem)

In Internet Explorer, go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings. Select (check) the option of Use a proxy server for your LAN. Then key in the proxy server IP address and port in respective box. Click OK. Do that in all other browsers too. In Mozilla Firefox, go to Tools -> Options ->Advanced(Tab)->Network(Tab)->Settings(under connection label). Then select (click) Manual proxy configuration and key in proxy server information. Click OK . In opera Tools-> preference-> Advanced(Tab)-> Network(in left pane)->Proxy Servers(buttons)-Check the HTTP-Write IP & Port No. in desired location there.Click OK.
(proxy server information means IP of the proxy server and port no.)

Here we are using the IP of the proxy server and the site that’s blocked from our IP is accesed by proxy server’s IP which bypasses our IP adress and we get access to blocked sites.

Powerscarp(new working)

http://www.powerscrap.com/ is a new proxy+value addition site which allows users to log in to social sites like orkut myspace and others even tough they are blocked. This is different from a proxy site. When you’ll login to orkut through it by visiting that site and providing orkut username and password it’ll add a special toolbar at top of each orkut page which will provide a set of tools for power orkutting. Tough it’s in portugese it’s not difficult to use. Also if your colleges are using proxy avoidance filter this may work as it’s not a real proxy site but has all functionalities provided by proxies. Also in comments we are updating the proxy lists.

These tricks will work for sites blocked by individual organisation colleges and also that’s blocked by the nation. Some tricks may or may not work for some body.If a trick works then stop and if not go for other trick.
