How do i unblock a website my job has blocked?!?

Question

Yea I know I'm at work to work but I'm bored and would like to check my facebook and myspace. Does anyone know if there is a way to unblock a website? I work from a Dell Latitude D630 (laptop). When I try to get to facebook or myspace, I get an error stating that the website is blocked. Any advice?

Answer 1

maybe the website of facebook and myspace was thoroughly blocked by your system!!!

well to see this open  

"C:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts...

use notepad in opening it!

make sure it is similar to this:

--------------------------------------...

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.

#

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

#

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

#

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

#

# For example:

#

#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server

#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

--------------------------------------...

if not remove the sites after "127.0.0.1       localhost"

coz that is the blocked sites!!

if this doesn't help, try using a proxy server!!

visit http://www.zend2.com and type the blocked sites URL

and make sure you enable the cookies!!

Good Luck

:D

Answer 2

Websites like

http://www.hidemyass.com/

should fool most siteblocking systems

Answer 3

There are free web proxies that are usually used to get access to blocked sites. The ones I use:

http://irogue.info

http://thehole.info

http://blackwire.org

http://notrack.info

http://icloak.info

Sorry for the advertisement - these are my proxies actually but yes, they are cool looking enough to forgive the amount of ads on them :)

Have a nice time surfing at work! :)
