Using our web proxy to unblock sites
There are many different ways to bypass blocks in place that prohibit you to browse the internet more freely. The difficulty and time required to unblock varies a lot depending on the technique used, and if you have the administrative rights to do it on the computer.
Maybe you can relate to the following situation..
Ah, the relief. You're finally done with today's assignment and have some spare time before you can go home. You start the web browser and go to Facebook. Whoa, a big error appear saying it's been blocked by the firewall. You ask that really good computer guy at work and he starts fiddling around. He does several things involving some weird black command prompt, the internet options in your web browser, and some cryptic numbers he calls IP addresses. At last, it works! All is good, until next day because you have to use another computer, or maybe the computers reset completely every day. Doh.
The above situation assumed the computer weren't so locked down so you could actually change settings in the web browse, which you can't do most of the times.
We made it easier for you. What we do is to act as a middle man, or 'web proxy' in geek language. You don't have to change settings and use command prompts and other programs you've never seen before. You don't even have to change any settings in the browser yourself. All you have to do is type the address of the site you want to visit below and hit Go. (like picturesoftheworld.org)
