I am receiving such messages many times. The blocked websites can be due to many reasons and at multiple levels. Like sometimes government ban some websites due to security or illegal issues.

Sometimes we need to access those sites due to various reasons and actually, you can do too. You must have heard many techniques to unblock blocked websites but here in this article, I am going to show you a few best ways to unblock the blocked websites.
These methods to unblock the blocked sites are tested and have worked perfectly for me and so will work for you for sure!
3 Working Methods to Unblock the Blocked sites
So let’s start with a few best methods to unblock the blocked sites. I am sure these methods will work for sure and you would be able to access the blocked websites.
Methods 1: Through Web Proxy Servers
This is the easiest and quickest way to browse blocked sites anonymously. Type in the web address – you’re connected within seconds!
Now if you are thinking about how this is being done then let me explain you the working on web proxy.
Web proxy server is like a simple computer/server which acts as a middleman between you and your destination URL. Whenever you try to access any webpage, the request first goes to the proxy server and then proxy server request the web page requested by you and then it gives you the result.
So, if you are connected to the proxy server then there won’t be any direct communication between the source computer and the client system. The proxy will be there as a middleman for each request. The below figure explains the working of proxy server clearly-

There are a number of web proxy servers available and you can use any proxy server to get your work done.
The middleman in the above picture is the proxy servers which are available both free and paid and the price depends on the location.
What happens, these proxy servers have some IP in some locations and they request your requested URL through that IP.
Suppose you are in India where Torrent site is blocked and you want to access. Now see where this site is accessible? Let say this is accessible from the USA and so first connect to your proxy and select the Server/IP location as the USA and then you would be able to access the site for sure as you are now requesting the access through the USA and not India.

Method 2: Internet Archive
Internet Archive is a way back machine which keeps the website data in an archive format. You can’t expect the up to date site here but their crawler crawls the sites very frequently and so you can expect the data of a day or 2 ago.
All you have to do is, open Internet Archive site and enter the URL you want to check and select the date for which you want the site. And it will show you the archived version of the site you requested.
Apart from the fact that it is very helpful to access the blocked sites, it is very useful for webmasters also.
Method 3: Use a Different DNS
When any website is blocked at your location, it is the ISP blocking traffic to and from that website. So if you will change the DNS then you might be able to access the blocked sites.
Here changing DNS means, you can change your DNS to Google public DNS.
Over to you!
There are many more methods using which you can unblock the blocked websites easily. I hope these 3 methods to unblock blocked websites will help you to access the blocked sites easily and quickly.
