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• Use Google cache to access an archived version of the site.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).
In Dubai and the rest of the United Arab Emirates, the Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRA) decides the policy on internet censorship, as opposed to the telecom companies.
It is rare for news content to be censored in the UAE - censorship focuses more on pornography, dating, gambling and other content that might be considered culturally or religiously offensive.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a country that is situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in southwest Asia. Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the UAE. It is the second most populated Emirate, with 30% of the total population of the UAE. Abu Dhabi is the most populous, with 38% of the UAE population residing there.
