How to bypass resource blocking. How to bypass IT restrictions at work

Faced with the fact that the ISP blocks access to any site, almost every person first wants to know how to get to this blocked site. I know this from myself :) If you are looking ways to bypass site blocking– then you have come to the right place. In today’s article I will tell you how you can access a resource blocked by your provider.

1 way: Bypass blocking using browser tools

For those who use a browser to surf the Internet Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome, I recommend installing the extension friGate. This is one of the simplest and most convenient ways to bypass website blocking.

For browser Opera And Yandex.Browser you don’t even need to install any extensions - just enable the one available in them Turbo mode. In this mode, sites blocked by your provider should open without problems.

To enable Turbo mode in Yandex Browser, you need to go to its settings by clicking the corresponding button in the upper right corner of the browser:
Then scroll down the list that opens and put the switch in the “ Always on”:
After this, you can access the blocked site.

In the browser Opera you need to click the button in the upper left corner and check the box Opera Turbo:In this mode, the blocked site will open.

Method 2: Using an anonymizer

The advantage of this method is that you do not need to install any additional software or browser extensions on your computer. You just go to a special online service and enter the address of the desired site.

The disadvantages include the not very fast operation of such services. Also inconvenient is the need to open the anonymizer every time to access the desired site.

There are a huge number of anonymizer sites on the Internet. I will give examples of two of the most famous and popular ones. You can use any of them.

After you enter the address of the blocked site in the search bar on any of these services and press the key Enter– the service will load this page and show it to you at a different address. Thanks to this, blocking is bypassed (the known site address is changed to a new one - unblocked).

3 way: Using the Tor Browser

Since Internet sites began to be massively blocked in our country, the browser has gained great popularity. Tor. And even those users who have never worked with it have still heard something about it.

Tor Browser designed for anonymous surfing on the Internet. With its help, you can easily access sites if they are blocked by your provider.

Externally Tor is a regular Internet browser based on Firefox. But it uses a unique technology called “onion routing.” The data it transmits is encrypted and decrypted several times, passing through dozens of routers and being sent to random routers on the network.

So, download the browser Tor here at this link.

Before starting the download, select Russian from the list. Then press the big button “ Download”:

Launch the downloaded file.

By default, the browser is installed in the “Tor Browser” folder on the desktop. You can change this path, or you can leave it like this:

Once the installation is complete, the following window will open. Click on the button “ Connect”:

After a few seconds the browser itself will open:

That's all: you can enter the address of the blocked site in the address bar, and it will open:
I warn you that using the Tor browser, sites will open a little slower than usual. But if we want to access blocked resources, we can live with this.

Because At the time of installing the program, I did not change anything - a folder was created on my Desktop Tor Browser. The next time I need to open the Tor browser, I will launch it from this folder using the shortcut Start Tor Browser.

From other people, but we often find ourselves in their place. And if many are still willing to put up with the inaccessibility of certain websites at work, then at home - excuse me. However, neither paying for your home internet on time nor civil rights and freedom of speech guarantee us unfettered access to all web content. Resources included in the register of prohibited in Russia, for example, many popular torrent trackers, are closed from us with seven locks.

Fortunately, blocking sites, even at the provider level, is not a bastion. No matter how hard Roskomnadzor tries, we will still find the keys to them. Today you will learn how to access a blocked site in all available ways without breaking the law.

An anonymizer is an intermediary node (web proxy) between the user and the target resource, designed for anonymous surfing of the network, as well as access to blocked sites.

How anonymizers help bypass blocking: when opening any Internet page, the request is transmitted to the provider’s devices, where the name and IP of the site are checked against blacklists. If access to the resource is open, the request is sent to the target server and the browser downloads the content. If closed, the provider redirects the user to a stub page. For MTS it looks like this:

Beeline has this:

Other providers have their own way, but the essence of the message is the same: access to the site is prohibited. And period.

When accessing the same node through an anonymizer, the provider’s network devices see only the anonymizer’s data. And since it is not on the black list, nothing limits the loading of the target resource.

Using the anonymizer is very simple:

• open its page;
• In the “Open” field, enter the URL of the target site and click the go button.

Unfortunately, today many popular anonymizers are also blocked. Only the most harmless ones remain - intended for opening VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook and other similar portals that are usually not allowed to be visited at work. And of those that help unblock Roskomnadzor blacklist sites, the absolute majority are closed.

At the end of January and beginning of February 2017, the following free anonymizers are available:

• NoBlockMe - provides alternative access to social networks and LiveJournal.
• Pingway - for access to social networks and YoutTube.
• Anonim.pro - unblocks social networks, YouTube, dating sites, Avito, Tanki online.
• Anonymous
• Anonymizer.ru - for any Internet resources.
• Guardster is also for everything.

When opening a website through an anonymizer, you may encounter problems:

• Incomplete loading of content. The page may open without pictures, audio or video, buttons may not be pressed, menus may not work, etc.
• Displaying pages in a distorted form - with blocks shifted, text creeping into pictures, etc., up to complete unreadability.
• Inaccessibility of web resources that transmit data via the https protocol.
• Excessively intrusive display of advertising - huge banners, pop-up windows, constant transfers to other web resources. It is possible to covertly install adware (from the word adware - advertising software) and spyware on your computer, which you will then have to fight for a long time.

To reduce the likelihood of this, use anonymizers tailored for the content you need, for example, social networks. Or use other methods to bypass the blocking.

Browser tricks

Regular web browsers do not have special tools that allow you to open blocked sites, but there are options for which this action is a “side” action. In Opera and Yandex Browser, such a tool is the Turbo traffic saving mode. So, if you want to speed up the opening of slow-loading pages, you will receive a pleasant bonus in the form of free access, for example, to Rutrecker.org.

In Opera, the Turbo option is enabled in the main menu.

In Yandex Browser - in the main settings.

Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox do not have a Turbo mode, but Google Translate may be useful for our purposes. The translated site opens in a separate frame, and access to it is no longer blocked.

If you have never used Google Translator, let us explain how to do it: insert the URL of the page you want to open into the left window and select the original language. Even if the page is in Russian, the original should be a foreign language, for example, English, and the translation language should be Russian. Then click the “Translate” button.

The result of opening Rutrecker.org, as can be seen in the screenshot, is quite decent.

Another way to bypass site blocking is to enter not a name, but an IP address in the address bar of the browser, which Whois services will help determine. For example, this one.

Unfortunately, browser “tricks” are not 100% effective: Google does not translate some sites, and in Turbo mode they also remain blocked, not only by name, but also by IP.

Special browser extensions

If you are unable to access the site using your browser's own means, a third-party extension will help solve the problem. One of the most popular tools for this purpose is FriGate (the link is given to the Chrome store, but it exists for other browsers).

FriGate encrypts and routes some of your web browser traffic through its own VPN server. This not only restores access to sites when blocked, but also speeds up the connection.

In addition to FriGate, there are many free extensions that have similar functions. Here are some of them:

Some of them require configuration after installation, for example, creating custom lists of web resources and rules, while others have only an on/off button and nothing more. Some extensions provide a choice of 3-4 available proxy servers, others do not. Use what suits you best, since there are many options. At least one will work.

Free VPN clients for Windows and other platforms

The main purpose of a VPN is to create closed communication channels to protect network traffic from leakage and outside access. However, this technology is also used to visit blocked Internet pages. Unlike anonymizers, which redirect the request to one site in the right direction, and browser extensions, which pass the traffic of one web browser through a proxy, VPN applications direct all network traffic of the computer into a closed channel.

Services for accessing VPN servers through a client program are usually paid (cost $1-50 per month depending on the channel bandwidth and the availability of additional options), but there are several free ones.

The best free VPN client for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and mobile platforms, according to the author, is CyberGhost 6. Here are its most significant advantages in comparison with analogues:

• There are no traffic volume restrictions. Most free applications of this format limit traffic to approximately 500 mb per month or for the entire period of use. If you need more, sign up for a paid subscription.
• Quite high connection speed. Most free VPNs reduce it to a minimum.
• Large selection of available servers around the globe. Many free analogues offer only one server, which is located somewhere in the USA and is constantly overloaded.
• Several pre-installed profiles for different tasks (only half are available without payment, but this is quite enough for most tasks).
• Can be used to access any type of web resource. Supports almost all types of traffic: video streaming, online games, social networks, etc., limits p2p.
• Easy to learn for beginners.
• Russified.

To get to a closed site using CyberGhost 6, just launch the program and select one of the available profiles.

When you select the anonymous surfing option (yellow tile), you just need to set the browser boot mode (normal or incognito) and specify the desired VPN server.

When choosing to unblock basic websites (blue tile), you just need to click on the corresponding icon.

Tor browser), which implements onion routing technology for Internet traffic.

The principle of data transmission over the Tor network differs from the usual one in that all transmitted information is encrypted multiple times (layer-by-layer) and follows a randomly built chain of proxy servers absolutely anonymously. Neither the intermediate node nor the end node receives information about the sender of the request and the route of the traffic. Each server reads exactly the information that is necessary to transmit the packet to the next node (figuratively removes its own layer of onion peel). Such a system provides the user with maximum privacy and makes tracking his traffic, if not impossible, then very difficult.

Not a single method of blocking web resources can withstand the onslaught of Tor. But only if Tor itself is not closed. Unfortunately, in Kazakhstan and Belarus, many connections of this wonderful instrument are blocked at the state level. In fact, this makes it impossible for the majority of the inhabitants of these countries to use it.

Tor is not yet banned in Russia, and its use does not threaten you with any sanctions.

All active Internet users in Ukraine were shocked by the presidential decree banning the Russian social network Vkontakte. In addition, Odnoklassniki, Mail.ru, Yandex, and all related services of these companies were blocked in Ukraine.

We bring to your attention step-by-step instructions for unblocking access to prohibited sites. This guide is also relevant for Russian Internet users; with its help you can regain access to RuTracker, Flibusta and many other torrents and useful sites!

There are several options for how to bypass website blocking in Ukraine:

How to bypass website blocking by your ISP using a VPN

Virtual Private Network, also known as VPN. Using this connection, you can pretend to be a citizen of other countries in which the sites you need are not prohibited. Thus, a user who uses such a network in Ukraine can count on encryption of absolutely all transmitted and received data, and the channel through which such manipulations occur is secure. This function is provided by various extensions in browsers, even in such as Yandex.

To establish such a connection in the Google Chrome browser, you need to go to the extensions directory, the path to them is through the settings.

As soon as the desired option is found, you need to go to the search for extensions, that is, get to the online store. We enter VPN in the search column and in response we will receive several extensions that will help cope with the task.

As a matter of fact, open any of them and install, then turn it on and get stable operation of the Yandex search engine and the Odnoklassniki social network as in the old days.

For example, you are shown the first extension of all available – ZenMate. After installation, you will need to register using your email, and then its function button will light up in the upper right corner of the screen.

As soon as all these simple operations are carried out, you need to select the country through which the traffic will go, and the question of how to bypass blocking of sites by your provider will no longer be relevant.

You can choose another extension called HOLA! However, it has the disadvantage of disrupting the appearance of some pages. Among the advantages, we can highlight the ability to quickly view various media content, since loading streaming video is accelerated by using the computers of other users who have also installed the plugin.

In addition to these extensions, you can use a VPN connection in a slightly different way by using a browser such as Opera. To set up a connection, you need to go to settings, find the security tab and check the VPN box there.

Bypass blocking on a smartphone (VPN applications)

It is worth noting that to bypass VK and Odnoklassniki blocking from your phone, there are similar services, such as Opera VPN, Turbo VPN, TunnelBear, ZenMate and others. Find them in the Android market, install and confirm registration in the application itself (if necessary).

Depending on the application, you will either immediately connect to the VPN when you launch it, or you will be forced to set the necessary settings. Once all this is done, you will have free access to sites blocked by your provider. The only inconvenience of this solution is the need to launch the VPN application every time when using social networks, which is partially solved by allowing the VPN to run in the background without unloading from memory.

Using a proxy server

A proxy server works on the principle of an intermediary. Simply put, a person sends a request for the resources he needs, and the proxy server processes it and sends it directly to the blocked site, after which it transmits this information back to the user. All these machinations are invisible, of course, however, you will have to tinker a little with setting up this access option, and loading the content of web pages will be very slow.

Access to a blocked page is obtained as follows: find a proxy server on the Internet, examples of which are ProxFree, Hide My Ass, Ninjacloak, etc., and then enter the address of the page of interest in the field. After a few seconds, the request will appear on the screen. In general, using a VPN seems to us to be a much more convenient solution

How to open a blocked site using Tor

There is a program called Tor, which is what we need here. An anonymous network that transmits traffic in encrypted form and also provides guarantees of absolute anonymity.

The system works on the principle of transmitting requests among many other users, while the number of submissions cannot be tracked. Only the first and final node will know what kind of information was requested. To install, enter the Tor Browser request on the Internet, go to the official website of the project, select the latest version of the downloaded application and launch it after downloading. After installation, you will be offered the option of standard settings, which is exactly what you need.

Once you select it, it will take a little time for the application configuration to be completed and ready for use. Essentially, this is a regular browser in which surfing the network occurs in the same way as Chrome, Opera, Yandex Browser, etc.

Now you know how to access government-blocked sites. Enjoy a free Internet without absurd restrictions!

TOP 7 ways to bypass site bans. Use any of them to gain access to web resources that have been censored or blocked.

Situations when a web page is unavailable because you are in the “wrong region” or when access to it is prohibited by your company’s system administrator or Internet provider are quite common.

In 2014, the Russian government instructed Roskomnadzor to create a list of sites that could be dangerous for “state politics.” As a result, about 70,000 websites, almost all torrent trackers, were under the threat of a ban for residents of the Russian Federation, and such popular opposition pages as “Echo of Moscow”, “Kasparov.ru” and Yozh.ru were blocked immediately. A number of websites have also been blocked in Belarus.
There are often cases when company management instructs system administrators to “ban” social networks and blogs so that employees are not distracted from their main responsibilities.
So, how to open a blocked site? Go to rutracker.org or another blocked torrent. We'll show you seven simple ways to do this.

This is perhaps the easiest way. But it is designed only for those users who have a web browser installed or (alternative link). Simply activate "Turbo" and inaccessible online resources will become available.
Initially, the mode was intended to speed up page loading when the Internet connection speed drops. But since it relies on sending traffic through browser servers, where it is compressed and optimized, to the provider it also looks like a stream of data from harmless servers. Thus, browser servers act as proxy anonymizers.
However, in the case of Yandex.Browser, such a trick may not always work, since its servers are located in the Russian Federation.

Extensions such as Hola, Zenmate, Stealthy and Frigate are instantly integrated into the browser and provide seamless surfing on any site. They work on the same principle - they automatically change the user’s IP address, thereby distorting information about where he is.
Stealthy and Frigate can be installed for and , Hola, in addition, it supports IE (there is also a version of a separate Hola program - it is useful for those who use, for example, a browser).
Zenmate can integrate into Chrome, Firefox and (to install this add-on, you need to go to the developer page, since it is not available in the extension store).

Another way to open a blocked VKontakte, Facebook, YouTube or any other resource is to use special anonymizer sites. The principle of their operation is based on redirecting traffic to thousands of proxy servers, which allows you to hide the user’s IP.
Among such resources, the most popular are hidemy.name, trust zone Zenmate, Nord VPN, Vpn.express, Speedify VPN. It is enough to insert a link to the page where you are denied access into the appropriate field on the anonymizer site, and the page you so wanted to get to will open in a new tab.

The last method, which will help open any blocked site, will be useful for especially careful users. It is actively used by spies and Reporters Without Borders. The infamous Edward Snowden also used it to search for facts incriminating high-ranking officials.
Tails is a Linux distribution that can be downloaded to a flash drive or SD card. To run it on Windows, you will have to use the program or. The software includes the Tor browser, i2p client, and special cryptographic tools.
Having downloaded Tails, you can access any sites, and all information about your stay on the Internet will be deleted as soon as you close the program (which looks like the Windows user interface), remove the flash drive or memory card from the connector.

It is also possible to bypass the ban from smartphones and tablets. NordVPN (Android), NordVPN (iOS), and e have a Turbo mode, which works on the same principle as in the PC versions of the browsers.

In addition, the Hola, TunnelBear and Zenmate applications are available in the Play Market and iTunes, which allow you to choose a location - from Germany or Britain to Hong Kong and the USA. Such services work not only in the browser; they are compatible with all installed programs. For example, with their help you can use clients for the social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and applications from Yandex and Mail.Ru that are blocked in Ukraine.

The browser has a special “Free VPN” feature that allows you to access the destination page using a proxy server. A similar operating principle is used in
