Hello Windows Universe! Michael here with another fact-filled
data intense video that is sure to leave you breathless
and your jaw on the floor. Now, websites can be blocked on three levels-
the computer level, the network level, and the ISP
or governmental level. Some DNS services such as OpenDNS, too, offer the options to
block certain types of websites for different
users sharing a computer. However, in this video, we will not be
talking about how to block a website as much as how
you can access a website that is restricted by
your network admins and ISPs. And, as always, we will
link a wonderful article in the description below that hopefully won't
be blocked that you can use for more information.
Now, a quick work around is to change the
http. Sometimes, when a website is blocked it
might be blocked as an http or an https.
So, if entering in https gets you blocked try
entering in just http or the other way around
and see if it's blocked. Now, if you're not
getting an error message about a restriction due to
restrictions on the account, it might be family safety software.
If it isn't, then you can try looking at your internet options.
So, let's go to the Control Panel,
find the security tab and click on restricted sites; and check to see if the
site you're requesting is listed there. If it is then remove it.
Also, take a look in content see if there's any sort of
other restrictions. Now, it might be password protected
but if you can access it then you might be able to change any restrictions that
exist. Now, we'll move on to the world of proxy
servers. The good thing about a proxy server is it
doesn't require you to install software or mess with internal computer
settings. The downside is that some network
protection systems are updated and block proxy servers and
websites. So, the proxy server website you might
use today might be blocked in your network
tomorrow. So, how do you get
around surfing restrictions on your computer?
