The Simplest Way to Access Blocked Websites

10 Comments

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?

    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.

      If that’s an issue, don’t do it. :)

        I would think it would be an issue for anyone whose company blocks certain websites.

    This does not work in the UAE, sites are still blocked…. Has any one tried this?

    Neat trick!

    I am in Shanghai for a few months now, I`m using http://www.highspeedvpn.com to access blocked sites.

    Works well for me, the VPN unblocked Facebook, YouTube, but I`ll try the Opera trick also!
