I just came to know that there’s an alternative URL to each Flickr account. For instance, a direct URL to a Flickr album looks like this - http://www.flickr.com/photos/phantomcheg/. You can also view the same album with this URL - http://www.flickr.mud.yahoo.com/photos/phantomcheg. In short, by inserting the username after http://www.flickr.mud.yahoo.com/photos/ you still get to the same album.
This means if you are blocked from surfing Flickr, there’s still a possibility you can go though with the alternative URL provided that the firewall is blocking with wildcards targeting domain names like *.flickr.com or flickr.com/*. However do know the consequences if this is going to breach your local, organization or school’s rules and regulation. We are not liable any damages caused :-)
