Accessing Blocked Websites

How to Access Blocked Websites and IP ranges by using easy-to-use and secure tools,

1. Proxy Server

Use a proxy server to access restricted sites. A proxy server (or proxies) is a normal computer that hides the identity of computers on its network from the Internet. Which means that only the address of the proxy server is visible to the world and not of those computers that are using it to browse the Internet. Just visit the proxy server website with your Web browser and enter a URL (website address) in the form provided

Well apart from these proxy sites you can bookmark the DMOZ CGI Proxies and DMOZ Proxy Lists

2. Proxy Search Softwares

Alternatively there are several softwares available for using proxies. Just search on google to get an endless list.

Here are my favourite ones They are Free

• Free Proxyway anonymous surfing 1.9
• Proxy Server List Hunter 1.78

3. Fresh Proxy Lists

You can get a list of free secure IP:PORT proxies at HideMyAss Proxy List Didnt know about that now did you?

4. Convert URL to IP

You can use this service called Web Server IP Checker to get the IP of the server on which your site is hosted, the one you want to visit using proxy.

Once the IP is in your hand type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in your browser to visit the blocked site, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the web server and thats it

You can also get the IP of the webserver by using Command Prompt. Just go to Run and type 'cmd' and press OK. Now type "ping http://www.website.com" without quotes and you will get the IP.

5. Convert IP to Decimal

If the URL to IP trick fails over some networks this is the trick you are looking for Just get the IP of the site from Web Server IP Checker and go to RedRoster. Enter the IP in the IP address field and hit calculate. You will get an address in Decimal Field. Take this and paste in your browser as http://xxxxxxxx , where xxxxxxxx is your decimal converted IP and it shall work

Accessing Blocked Websites - Use your own proxy server at home!

Step 1 - Download and install Perl distribution
Download Windows x86 version of Active Perl from ActiveState site. Install with default configuration except the directory which I recommend to be set to "C:\usr\".

Step 2 - Download and install Apache server
Download latest Apache server for Windows (2.2.3 as of today) from http://httpd.apache.org/ . Install it under any folder with port 80 as the HTTP port . Setting port to 80 is important since most corporates only allow port 80 access. If you get any error in binding to port 80, probably you have something else listening on it.

Step 3 - Configure Apache server
Now we need to configure Apache to enable CGI.

Locate #AddHandler cgi-script .cgi in httpd.conf (located inside apache subfolder conf) and remove the hash(#) in front.

Locate the "you set DocumentRoot to" string in httpd.conf. Under that you will see Option directive. Change it to Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews

Step 4 - Download and install CGIProxy (nph-proxy)
Download CGIProxy (nph-proxy) from http://www.jmarshall.com/tools/cgiproxy/nph-proxy.cgi.txt. Rename the file to nph-proxy.cgi and copy it to Apache's document root (htdocs). Now change the first line in nph-proxy.cgi to #!C:\usr\perl\bin\perl.exe

Start Apache from the bin folder (httpd.exe). Now open a browser session and point to http://localhost/nph-proxy.cgi . If everything is ok you should see the following screen.
