Lifehacker provides a helpful guide for Facebook addicts everywhere. How does one get around an employer's website blocker? The trick is to set up a local web server running from home, from which you can use a proxy to access any site you please. For those who are tech-deficient (myself included), here's a brief breakdown of Lifehacker's quick crash course on proxy servers:

Web proxies are relatively speedy to set up and make some of the most reliable means of getting around blocked URLs. A way around Smartfilter DA Bess (and if this can get around bess, it can probably get around anything,) is the web proxy at www.kaxy.com. It's a paysite, but there are passwords for it on www.bugmenot.com. hope that helps all of you who want to access myspace and bebo at school The Problem Many websites have taken to restricting the user's ability to copy-paste. Most of the time the restriction is limited to a secondary password field, which makes sense because they want to make sure you typed your password correctly. If you made a typo when picking a password, and then just copy-paste that same erroneous password into the verification field, you could end up Any blockers installed will be bypassed. Other Information. Another way of getting around web blockers is to use a proxy. These are available on the Internet, many of which are free. Basically what a proxy does is go between your computer and the site you want to visit. To your blocker it appears as if it is the proxy going to that blocked site Remember the cached website method we mentioned earlier in this article on how to get around blocked websites? This is a different method but it has some similarities. There are websites out there that actually keep copies of almost all the websites that exist or have ever existed on the web.

A paywall is a method of restricting access to content via a paid subscription. Beginning in the mid-2010s, newspapers started implementing paywalls on their websites as a way to increase revenue

The real web has content blocks. You can get around them, whether for arguable reasons such as accessing your geo-blocked digital content while on vacation, or for reasons we can't officially This works on the majority of websites that block access to those using adblockers. Some websites will still block you even using this method. There is still a way around that which I list below. You can try the same technique with Opera and Chrome but my tests show that they are less effective at getting around restrictions, especially Chrome. 97% of surveyed customers did or would recommend Cold Turkey Blocker to a friend. 12000+ websites are blocked by Cold Turkey Blocker every single day. That's an additional 1700 hours/day being carved out for studying, programming, writing, or more quality time spent offline.

One notable feature is the time tracker, which reports which websites the user spends the most time on daily, weekly, and monthly. There's also an Instant Lockdown feature to block the entire internet. Cons: Unfortunately, it's not too difficult for determined users to get around this website blocker. They could use Chrome's Incognito

Some places that filter their Internet connections may use something like the web filtering solution offered by OpenDNS. Assuming the filtering is just at the DNS level and requests to other DNS servers aren't being blocked, you can get around the filtering by setting a custom DNS server on your device. Some popular methods to bypass blocked websites include the use of Google Translate, free proxy, VPN services, URL recasting, etc. Some extensions are also available on the web. Restrictions and Not to mention, the obvious solution to get around ad-block detection, which is whitelisting a website, involves removing a single webpage or all web pages of a website from the ad-block service. To get that done, simply open the website and then click on the ad-blocker plugin on the browser. Here, select the option Don't run on pages of this domain. The plugin will then allow ads on the To access a blocked website, try accessing the mobile version of the site, which you can do by typing m between the www part and the site's name. Alternatively, go to translate.google.com and enter the web address into the text box on the left-hand side. Choose another language and click "Translate" to access the site. Enter a web address. Type the web address of a blocked site (e.g., "www.facebook.com") into the text box. Most proxies don't support keyword searching in the search bar, though you can go to a standard search engine (e.g., Google) inside of the proxy and then search for keywords from there.
