How to Unblock Blocked Web Sites at School -Office

Schools, some companies and even governments block Websites from Internet viewing for moral, social and security reasons. A blocked Website can be unblocked using software called proxies, websites that have specialized tools to unblock other Websites or by simply adjusting a few browser settings.

Using translation methods

1. Begin by going to a free translation web site, such as Google’s language tools, or freetranslation.com. Look for a link that says something along the lines of “web translator” or “web site translator.”
2. Select the language you want to “translate”. You should select that you are translating from a foreign language into English. English words on the website will remain in English, so you are basically making use of the translation engine without changing any of the words.
3. Type in the URL of th eweb site that has been blocked by your school and click the translate button.
4. You will arrive on a page that has the translation tools in a frame on the top of the page, with the blocked site appearing in the frame below it. Since your school’s Internet connection thinks you are surfing on the translation site, which could be a perfectly normal activity at school, you will not be blocked and have complete access to the website you wanted to unblock.

URL redirection service

There are thousands of website that provide an URL redirection service to the common Internet user — that’s the second thing you can do to bypass blocked websites. Depending on the way your school’s or company’s firewall is set, you may get away with it by using services like tinyurl.com or bit.ly, just to name a few.
Here’s how you can see if it works.
Open tinyurl.com and type in the url in the box, then click the “Make tinyURL” button. You will be provided with a new URL. Insert it in your browsers’ address bar and hit Enter.
