Bypassing the System: Part II
February 15th, 2008
Bypassing the system is back after a several month interruption. *yay*
1. Using a proxy with firefox
To use a proxy that does not have a website, you can use Firefox’s tools to get through.
- First, choose a proxy from a list such as http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html
- Then, in Firefox, click on Tools in the menu bar.
- Go to Options…
- In the Advanced tab, click on the Network tab
- Click on Settings…
- Click on the button next to Manual Proxy Configuration
- Now, you’ll enter in the information from the list.
- Put the ip address in the Http proxy field and the port number in the port field.
- Click ok until the dialog is closed.
- You are now using a proxy!
(To stop using the proxy, just click Direct connection to the internet after step 5)
2. Wayback machine
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php
Wayback machine lets you see versions of website in the past. Being in the past makes it really limited however, so it isn’t an optimal tool to view a website.
3. Direct ip
Some websites are blocked by their name, but not their ip address. (Don’t ask me why)
To connect directly to the ip, use a tool such as: http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php
Just enter in the domain name of the website, and it should find it.
Copy it down, and enter it in your browser.
If can’t connect, try to use a different method. If you can connect, congrats!
