| Access Blocked Website |
A lot of services and websites across the world have restricted access to specific countries only. Many of these websites are social web apps and people living in other countries would want to access them. Social websites may also be blocked by your school or organization, hence preventing access to these websites from their systems. However, if you do need to access such a website, you can try a few methods mentioned below.
Some software block website pages by its name or URL only. For example: a block may be applied on www.facebook.com but not on the IP of the website.
You can get the IP from Terminal on OS X or Command Prompt if you using Windows. Insert this and press Enter.
ping www.yourdomain.com
 |
| Ping www.google.com |
Copy the IP that is shown in the results (216.58.201.46) onto your browser’s address bar and open the site as usual.
Try to ping these sites to find their IP address. Copy the IP that is shown in the results onto your browser’s address bar and see if you can access them. Some will allow access, others won’t.
→ Use A Proxy Site
There are many free web proxies that provide services to browse the web anonymously. You can use them to access any blocked site easily. Just go the website and enter the URL you want to browse.
How does this work? When you browse a website using a proxy site, you are not actually connected to that website. You are connected to the proxy server, while the proxy server is the one that is connected to the true website destination. What you see is cached version of the site that the proxy server gives to you.

→ Use a VPN Service
A Virtual Private Network or VPN is a remote server that gives you private access through a public network. VPN makes it looks as though you are browsing from the country where the server is located, thereby hiding your real identity.
There are many VPN service providers you can use, some offer services for free, others require a subscription. Hola is my favorite free VPN service. It allows you to browse privately and without censorship, and it has a browser extension for Chrome and Firefox users.

→ Use TOR Browser
Tor is a browser that allows you to browse anonymously, prevent your browsing habits or your location from being tracked, ensuring privacy. Thanks to volunteers from around the world that create this distributed network of relays, you can browse under the protection of Tor.
To use, first you need to download the Tor Browser; install it like a usual application. Open the application, then click Connect to start your connection with the Tor network.

→ Using Public DNS of ISPs
Some Internet Service Providers (ISP) use their own DNS to block access to some websites. To open the block you can bypass the restriction from ISP using Google Public DNS.
Under the DNS configuration of yoru network, change your DNS to the following Google Public DNS IP addresses as your primary or secondary DNS server.
IPv4
1 = 8.8.8.8
2 = 8.8.4.4

→ Using Google Translate
Google Translate allows you to translate website content from one language to another. But you might not know is that if you enter the URL of a blocked site into Google Translate, then click on the URL link on the right side, the blocked site will be accessible in the translated language you chose.
Click View: Original to go back to the version with the original pre-translated language.
Here you can do the trick by entering URL of blocked site on the Google Translate, then click the URL link on right side and let it show the magic. The blocked site will opened with translation language. Then you can click view: Original to retain the original language
