The Simplest Way to Access Blocked Websites

Isn’t internet censorship annoying sometimes? Sites like Facebook, Twitter and even Gmail blocked on computers in your colleges and your workplaces. Large scale internet censorship can be seen in North Korea, where people have access to computers that are linked to a closely monitored intranet. Other countries also routinely ban to regulate the information that can be accessed by residents.

I’ve read about lots of complex ways to bypass this censorship, but the one I’m about to tell you is by far the simplest. All you need is the Opera 10.00 beta 2 Web Browser. Using its Turbo feature you can access blocked websites. It does this by routing the traffic through servers that are used to speed up browsing, hence ‘turbo’, through compression.

Follow the easy steps:

1. Download Opera 10.00 here.

2. Click the tiny speedometer at the bottom left to activate Turbo.

3. Type in the blocked website in the address bar. And Voila!

Simple enough?

    How to I get to install Opera 10 at the 1st place if my office PC need admin rights to install the browser?

  3. [...] Para acceder a los sitios web bloquedos utilizaremos la nueva característica Turbo. Esta enrutará el tráfico a través de servidores que están acelerando la velocidad del navegador por medio de la compresión. [...]

    And then once your IT Security dept sees what you’re doing and either get in trouble or written up… great idea to do at work… not.
