You might have been restricted from visiting certain sites like facebook, twitter and youtube so on as you get distracted. I have experienced in my school that we have very fast internet speed but we can't watch youtube video's Crazy, huh? Im sure you will be aware that some governments restrict their citizens from visiting certain sites? ( Like : China, Saudi Arabia). Some website block the visitors seeking their content from certain countries . Here is the solution for all the problem you have faced above
There are different ways to bypass censorship but they all do the same thing: your computer sends data to the proxy server, the proxy server sends your request to the site you want to visit, the site sends the reply which the proxy server gets and displays to you. You get to visit the site and it’s gonna look like you’re just visiting that proxy server, that’s the basic principle.
1. Using Anonymous Proxies
This is the easiest way to bypass any form of censorship and access blocked sites. You only need to get a working anonymous proxy with it’s port and input it into your browser. Getting a working anonymous proxy is the first thing and you can get lots of them from hidemyass.com. They’ve been around for some time now and their proxy list is always updated so you won’t be left with just a bunch of dead proxy servers. You should select anyone that supports HTTPS so you will be able to access secure sites (https://). Just key in the IP and port into your browser and you’re good to go.
