Nowadays, social networks as Facebook and Twitter are used by so many users. But in a lot of companies and countries, these social networks are blocked by firewall. For example, you can’t access Facebook in some areas of Vietnam and China. In this article, I will show you 7 ways to acces Facebook, Twitter or any blocked site easily.
1/ Use Proxy/Socks: this is a very popular way to visit any site you want without any restriction. All you need is find a good proxy to use. But when use proxy, your speed can be reduce because of the respond time of proxy server. You can also buy a private socks for the best quaility. If not, just find free proxy from sharing site as http://sockslist.net/, http://www.checker.freeproxy.ru/checker/last_checked_proxies.php, http://aliveproxy.com/socks5-list/ etc. All proxy or socks have the same format: 123.123.123.123:1234, with number before : are ip address, and after are port. To use it, you need configure you broswer as following:
Find proxy and socks
- Firefox: Tools > Options > Advanced > Networks > Settings > Manual Proxy Configurations > Socks Host.
- Internet Explorer: Tools > Internet Settings > Connections > Lan Settings > Use a Proxy Server for you LAN.
- Chrome: Options > Under the Hood > Change Proxy Settings > Connections > Lan Settings > Use a Proxy Server for you LAN.
- Opera: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Networks > Proxy Servers.
Then fill IP and port and apply. To remove it, just take it back to default.
Configure Proxy/Socks in Firefox
2/ Use Fake IP Software: some software use for faking and hiding your IP address as Auto Hide IP, Real Hide IP, Hide IP NG, Invisible Browsing etc. They still can decrease speed but not to much.
3/ Use UltraSurf: the easiest and fastest way to hide IP and access to any site you want. All traffic will be brought through UltraReach server. So that the speed is almost no change. Download UltraSurf, newest version is 9.6. After download, you just run it, and an Internet Explorer windows will open for using. You can also use a add-ons to use UltraSurf with Firefox. Note: to use in Firefox, you must download UltraSurf application, run it and activate in Firefox. UltraSurf is totally free and no need to setup. [Go to Homepage].
UltraSurf with Internet Explorer
4/ Use Free Proxy Website: there are many website help you surf web through a proxy. Two of the best site is HideMyAss and Defilter. All you need to do is input url of site in blank field and press enter.
HideMyAss service
DeFilter service
5/ Use Google Translate: what? Yes, this is Google Translate, which can help you translate a website and browse it through Google Server. But you can see what have been translated, this mean just only text, and all images maybe still blocked. Just go to http://translate.google.com, input address, choose target language is your language, and source language is another. Or use this link and replace you url to red mark:
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Ffacebook.com%2F&anno=2
Google Translate with Facebook
6/ Use OpearTor: OperaTor is a free browser that base on Opera 10.0 and add more features as auto use proxy and clean privacy infomations. With proxy, you can access any webpage although blocked. Proxy can from USA, France of any country as Espanol, Italia etc. And you no need to find it yourself.
OperaTor auto search and apply proxy
7/ Use OpenDNS: Open DNS is a free DNS server that offer you DNS resolution for consumers and businesses as an alternative to using their Internet service provider’s DNS servers. By placing company servers in strategic locations and employing a large cache of the domain names, OpenDNS usually processes queries much more quickly, thereby increasing page retrieval speed. DNS query results are sometimes cached by the local operating system and/or applications, so this speed increase may not be noticeable with every request, but only with requests that are not stored in a local cache. First, you need to change network configuration of window:
- With Windows XP: go to Control Panel –> Network and Internet Connections –> Network Connections, right click to Local Area Network and choose Properties. In list This connection uses the following items, choose Internet Protocal (TCP/IP) and click Properties. In new windows, you click Use the folloing DNS server addresses, and at Prefered DNS Server, fill 208.67.222.222, and at Alternate DNS Server fill 208.67.220.220. Then OK to finish.
– With Windows Vista or Windows 7, go to Control Panel –> Network and Internet –> Network and Sharing Center > View Status > Properties and the configure as XP.

completely agree with you
Using Facebook and Twitter has nothing related to being againt the government. They shouldn’t block these sites. Some ISPs in Vietnam have blocked Facebook.
Btw, where are you from?

You’re welcome! Facebook is blocked not only in Vietnam but in many other Asian countries. As some people took advantage of Facebook to object to government or to spread trojan virus, ISPs had to blocked it
