How to unblock sites?

Websites can be blocked for a number of reasons. Schools and offices often block social networking sites like Facebook in order to prevent students and workers from gaining access to them. There are also a number of ways in which you can unblock these sites.

Connect through a VPN connection

VPN services like Hotspot shield provide you with VPN connections to these blocked sites. These connections work as a kind of VPN tunnel through the public network. Benefits Using this method, you can also gain access to virtual means of communication such as e-mail and chat. VPNs are found to be more secure than web proxies due to the fact that proxies tend to use a less advance encryption than VPNs.

Use a Google Cache method

The Google cache method requires you to enter cache before the URL of the blocked website that you are trying to gain access to.
The result The URL box should look like this: cache:http://www.domain.com. Benefits The cache method has proven to be another fast and simple way of gaining access to sites that are blocked.

Change http to https

How to achieve this? Usually, before the actual "www." of a URL, there is a "http." Instead of entering just "http", replace this with "https". This is by far one of the simplest and easiest ways to gain website access.
Drawback The only problem with this is that it does not work all of the time. Therefore, it is not as reliable as the other methods. Author's advice If this method does not work, then you can try several other methods. Try searching online for website unblocking software. Before downloading such software, make sure that they are not computer viruses in disguise.

Use Mozilla Firefox

Firefox is a web browser similar to Internet Explorer. It allows you to gain access to the web. Firefox has a feature that allows you to surf the web anonymously. This will allow you to gain access to these sites because they will not be able to verify who is actually surfing the web. Benefits
Once you are done searching the web anonymously, you can also turn this feature off so that the browser options are back to normal. Important to remember You should take into consideration that once you attempt to unblock a site, then you will be held responsible for anything that happens as a result of your actions. A blocked site may contain viruses that may destroy your computer.
