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.

  1. First, choose a proxy from a list such as http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html
  2. Then, in Firefox, click on Tools in the menu bar.
  3. Go to Options…
  4. In the Advanced tab, click on the Network tab
  5. Click on Settings…
  6. Click on the button next to Manual Proxy Configuration
  7. Now, you’ll enter in the information from the list.
  8. Put the ip address in the Http proxy field and the port number in the port field.
  9. Click ok until the dialog is closed.
  10. 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!
