If you are unable to access any websites because they are blocked or unavailable in the particular country that you are in, then it may be possible to access them by trying one of the following methods, as suggested on www.webstuffscan.com:
• Use the IP address instead of the domain name. You can use an online conversion tool such as www.hcidata.info/host2ip.htm to find out the IP address of a website.
• Use Google cache to access an archived version of the site. Most Google search results have a 'Cached' option. This may be useful if it does not matter to you whether the content on the site is completely up to date or not.
• Use an anonymizer such as anonymouse.org/ or do an online search for a site that provides URL encryption.
• Use a public proxy server to help protect your identity (there is a list of them available at www.publicproxyservers.com/proxy/list1.html).
