For example: a block may be applied on <em>www.facebook.com<\/em> but not on the IP of the website.<\/p>\n<p>You can get the IP from Terminal on macOS or Command Prompt if you using Windows. Insert this and press Enter.<\/p>\n<pre>\r\nping yourdomain.com\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Copy the IP that is shown in the results onto your browser\u2019s address bar and open the site as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Please keep in mind that while this might not work only when the site is able and to handle request from the IP directly. Some websites might redirect you to the website or will give you error as the certificate is only registered for the domain name.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Use A Proxy Site<\/h2>\n<p>There are many free web proxies that provide services to browse the web anonymously. To find out sites that offers this service, simply seach for \"<code>proxy sites<\/code>\" in Google and you will find abundance of them.<\/p>\n<p>You can use them to access any blocked site easily. Just go the website and enter the URL you want to browse.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/alternative-ways-to-access-blocked-websites\/proxy-sites.jpg\" width=\"1500\" height=\"615\" alt=\"proxy web sites\"><\/figure>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Use a VPN Service<\/h2>\n<p>Another way to get around a blocked sites is by using a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/best-vpn-services-review\/\">Virtual Service Network (VPN)<\/a> service. A VPN service provides an encrypted connection or tunnel between your computer and the internet through their network.<\/p>\n<p>Typically they provide a number of network in various location around the globe, so you can act as if you\u2019re browsing, say from Germany even if you\u2019re actually in other country, essentially it secure and hides your real identity when browsing online.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/alternative-ways-to-access-blocked-websites\/vpn-service.jpg\" width=\"1795\" height=\"1250\" alt=\"vpn services\"><\/figure>\n<p>There are many VPN service providers you can use, some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/free-virtual-private-networks\/\">offer services for free<\/a>, others require a subscription.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ref-block ref-block--post\" id=\"ref-post-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/best-vpn-services-review\/\" class=\"ref-block__link\" title=\"Read More: 10 Best VPN Service Providers\" rel=\"bookmark\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">10 Best VPN Service Providers<\/span><\/a>\n<div class=\"ref-block__thumbnail img-thumb img-thumb--jumbo\" data-img='{ \"src\" : \"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/best-vpn-services-review.jpg\" }'>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<noscript>\n<style>.no-js #ref-block-post-57444 .ref-block__thumbnail { background-image: url(\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/thumbs\/250x160\/best-vpn-services-review.jpg\"); }<\/style>\n<\/noscript>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"ref-block__summary\">\n<h4 class=\"ref-title\">10 Best VPN Service Providers<\/h4>\n<p class=\"ref-description\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tEverything is being tracked nowadays, from your activities on the internet to your phone and computer.

Use TOR Browser<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/introductions-to-bitcoins-tor-network\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Tor<\/a> is a browser that allows you to browse anonymously, prevent your browsing habits or your location from being tracked, ensuring privacy.

Setting Your Browser\u2019s Proxy Manually<\/h2>\n<p>To manually set your browser\u2019s proxy, you need to first get working public proxies.

Under <strong>Connection<\/strong> click <strong>Settings<\/strong>, then choose <strong>Manual Proxy Configurations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Here, you enter the HTTP Proxy obtained from Hidemyass, followed by the port number, and click <strong>OK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/alternative-ways-to-access-blocked-websites\/setting-socks-firefox.jpg\" alt=\"firefox proxy\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Chrome Users:<\/h3>\n<p>Chrome does not natively support setting up proxy within the browser itself.

Use SSH Tunnels<\/h2>\n<p>SSH tunnel allows you to forward request to the internet through a remote server via SSH (Secure Shell). So for this to work, you\u2019ll need to have an account to get you the IP and the proctol to connect to SSH, which you can typically obtain by spining0-up a VPS or a dedicated server.<\/p>\n<p>Then open Terminal on your macOS (if you are using Windows you can use <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bitvise.com\/ssh-web-browsing\">Putty<\/a> instead) and run following command to login:<\/p>\n<pre>ssh -D 12345 user@host.domain<\/pre>\n<p>The command will run the SOCKS server on port 12345. You will be asked for a username and password. After a successful login, just minimize the terminal, don\u2019t close it.<\/p>\n<p>Next, open your Firefox browser and go to <strong>Preferences &gt; Advanced &gt; Network &gt; Settings<\/strong>. Check on <strong>Manual Proxy Configurations<\/strong>, enter 127.0.0.1 on <strong>SOCKS Hosts<\/strong> and insert the <strong>Port<\/strong> number you picked when you created the SSH tunnel. Click OK to save your new settings.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/alternative-ways-to-access-blocked-websites\/ssh-tunnel.jpg\" alt=\"socks firefox\" width=\"750\" height=\"480\"><\/figure>\n<p>Afterwards, open a blank tab and type <strong>\u2018about:config\u2019<\/strong>, then set <strong>true<\/strong> for the following statement:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\nnetwork.proxy.socks_remote_dns\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>Now you can browse with Firefox using your tunnel.
