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!
Bypassing The System: Part I
June 26th, 2007
We have all seen barriers that we cannot cross when it comes to our browsing. Whether at school or at work, sometimes you feel the need to be rebellious and go to the sites you want to go. The whole purpose of this guide is to give you ways to get to that website.
Website blocked? No problem!
1. Proxy Servers
Proxies are simple ways to get around to blocked sites. They work by basically getting the information from the end site and sending it to you. Proxy.org has a large list of proxies. We recommend proxify.com
2. Google cache
Google keeps a record of websites and their content. By browsing the cache, you can bypass that block. To look through it, go to google and search:
cache:(website here without space between it and the colon)
That concludes part I of bypassing the system.
**Note: As stated in a comment, some countries state that proxy use is illegal. If you live in one of those countries, dont use a proxy.
