Porus bypass blocking. Special extensions for browsers
Most simple ways open blocked sites
To bookmarks
On March 13, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation at once the sites of several online publications and the blog of Alexei Navalny, once again forcing Runet users to think that blocking will become a routine for them in the near future.
TJournal tried the most popular lock bypass tools and found among them versions "for dummies" - in which everything works right away, without settings.
Turbo modes of browsers and Google Translate
There are widely known ways to open blocked sites that do not require installation. special applications and any settings. Many of them are not as effective as we would like.
For example, using the "turbo mode" in the Opera browser, it was possible to open Alexei Navalny's blog blocked by LiveJournal tools without any problems, but it did not work out to go to the site, access to which was restricted by the provider.
At the same time, the traffic compression mode in mobile browsers Chrome and Opera showed their best side. Blocked pages loaded quickly and without visual distortion.
And the option to skip the site through google translator turned out to be ineffective. Neither Navalny's blog nor the Rutor.org tracker was ever opened.
Web services
In terms of convenience, web services that offer opening blocked sites through proxy servers do not differ much from each other. Most often, they only require you to copy the link into a string on your home page and make one click. At the same time, they display desired page with own hat and work very slowly.
One of the best among them is ProxFree. It is easy to use does not add its own ads. Analogues include Proxyweb and Hide My Ass.
Smartphone applications
The most obvious and most simple solution for iPhone users and the iPad turned out to be the Onion browser, running through Tor's "onion routing" system (The Onion Router), whose traffic is almost impossible to trace. The only thing required from the user is $1 per universal version for all Apple platforms.
In practice, Onion is an outwardly unremarkable browser that allows you to open any blocked sites. It is suitable as a closed tool that does not affect the operation of the rest of the system. For Android, there is an analogue called Orweb.
If you want to bypass blocking without using third party browser, then you should try TunnelBear . This service is available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac and works on VPN technology.
"Bring" him to mobile platforms noticeably more complex than Onion. On iOS, it first prompts you to register, confirm email, install profile with VPN settings, turn on his profile in the iOS options and only after that start working.
But, unlike Onion, TunnelBear allows you to pretend to be a user of another country and use the services of, say, the Netflix service.
The main disadvantage of TunnelBear is the price. AT free version The application has only 500 megabytes of traffic per month, and the annual unlimited will cost 979 rubles (and this is only the price for iOS devices). You can't call him friendly. On the other hand, it has versions for iOS, Android, PC and Mac: the last two are very easy to use.
Browser plugins
The most convenient and effective tool in this area was a plugin for Mozilla and Chrome called friGate . The authors of the extension separately note that when using it, speed is not lost. It really works "out of the box" and opens pages blocked by any known method, notifying the user about entering the "forbidden territory" by simply changing the icon on the control panel.
The speed of friGate is ensured by the fact that it opens blocked sites from its own pre-compiled list. However, this is unlikely to become a problem for someone: it is replenished as quickly as possible.
An offer from competitors called hola! turned out to be much worse. First, it is necessary to manually select VPN needed countries. Secondly, the plugin often turns the layout of blocked pages into a mess and looks untidy by itself. However, as the creators note, it is more intended for viewing media content: to speed up downloading streaming video it uses the computers of other users with the plugin installed.
Iron
An "iron" way to bypass blocking is the Onion Pi portable proxy server, made on the basis of the Raspberry Pi computer. It passes all user traffic through Tor system and distributes Wi-Fi. The device will cost about $ 100, but it is not so easy to find it in Russia. You can also buy it with bitcoins.

Recently, the government has been censoring everything more Internet resources, however, there are ways to access a blocked site. The decision to block many resources is made by Roskomnadzor not without reason. Most often, access is closed to sites that contain information that violates the laws of the Russian Federation.
Sometimes access to some resources is blocked in corporate networks. For example, company management may restrict the use of popular social networks and entertainment resources. In China, for example, many of the world's social networks and entertainment sites are banned. Therefore, sometimes you need information on how to open a blocked site.
Become Anonymous: Use Proxy Sites
Go anonymous
Very often in a professional environment, employers create certain boundaries, restricting the access of office employees to certain specific pages. Then, when you need to access them, proxy sites can really save. In the case of their use, there is no direct connection between the two interacting parties (client and server), i.e. they act as an intermediary. The proxy server processes the user's request by fetching the necessary resources from remote server and sends them to the person.
An anonymous proxy is a type of proxy server that hides the Internet user's IP address so that the target server cannot determine its location. Even though an anonymous proxy server identifies itself as a proxy site, it is still able to remain anonymous.
There are hundreds of proxy sites on the Internet that can provide unlimited access to any resource by hiding your IP address or masking a prohibited resource. Opening it will be easy enough.
Using a VPN
A VPN, or Virtual Proxy Network, allows you to connect your device to another network over the Internet. VPN allows you to access blocked sites from your home network and replaces your IP address with another one. Before entering the site, you will have to install a program that can be both paid and free.
VPN works as follows: the system receives all traffic in encrypted form, and then redirects it to the user who requested it. First, censors or systems that block certain sites do not see the traffic received or sent by the user, so they cannot block access to information that is blocked. Second, since it's all being redirected, they may not be aware of what content was being viewed.
For example, let's say you're in China and you're trying to access Facebook or YouTube. If you are connected to VPN server in another country, all your traffic first goes through it, and then further to Facebook. Rerouting, along with encryption, prevents government censors from knowing what traffic is coming through the connection, as well as what sites you have visited. Thus, all your traffic is securely encrypted so that censors cannot intercept or block it.
There are many free or cheap VPN services which you can use and enjoy continuous access to blocked sites. Any of these programs can be downloaded without difficulty.

Change proxy in browsers
The blocking problem may occur when using corporate networks, for example, if you surf the Internet from a work computer in the office or from a device at your school. But even in this case there is one interesting feature. Your college or institute may have more than one proxy server for its network. Sometimes access to some websites is restricted on one proxy, but available on another. So you can try changing your browser settings to get access.
Shutdown network settings proxying in web browsers is not a difficult task. All you need to do is find the connection/network item in your browser settings and either cancel or select a different proxy.
List of browsers and browser extensions with which you can access the blocked site:
In connection with the latest events in blocking social networks Vkontakte, Mile, Odnoklassniki and Yandex services in Ukraine, the above list solves this problem. If you have any questions, you can always write to us in the comments to any article, we will definitely answer you.
With Google Translate
Unblocking websites with translators works great if the site you want to go to isn't blocked globally. It is as simple as possible, does not require any registration or downloading of special programs.
Companies, educational establishments and countries usually don't forbid Google translate which you can use to your advantage. To access a blocked site, you must enter the address of the page you need in the translation field. The same address will be displayed on the right, but already converted into a link to a resource. By clicking on this link, you will be taken to the desired Internet resource. You can also use Microsoft's Bing Translation Service to unlock the banned resource.
However, you won’t be able to stay on a blocked resource for a long time, since websites can be closed with a change in the page address.
Another downside is that this may not work with dynamic sites like Facebook or YouTube. A page converted with translators is unable to play audio and video recordings. If you really want to view, it's better to use extensions like Hola or ProxMate. It may not be as convenient, but it is more efficient.
Wayback Machine
Another method that can help you is to contact Waybak. The Wayback Machine is a service that keeps copies of almost every website on the Internet. It saves multiple versions of the same page at once, and you can use them to access earlier versions. Users can also use it to view blocked content on the Internet.
All these methods of gaining access to blocked resources are quite simple, and anyone who has such a need can easily master them. However, when going to a prohibited Internet resource, you should remember that this may be a violation of current legislation and you need to be careful with this.
Allowing the competent authorities to extrajudicially block access to any Internet resources in Russia. Officials were given the opportunity to arbitrarily close absolutely any site for users inside the country, which, for reasons known only to them, seemed “unreliable” and “extremist”. Which was clearly demonstrated with all decisiveness and cynicism.
In the early nineties, we naively believed that the times of censorship and persecution for thoughtcrimes were far in the Soviet past, but today in Russia lists of banned books, "extremist materials" are being actively compiled and people who dared to publicly declare their disagreement with the "only true" official point of view. The fundamental articles 29 and 31 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, which declare freedom of speech, freedom of thought, freedom of information and demonstration, and article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which proclaims freedom of information one of the most important political and personal human rights, have been de facto cancelled.
Under these conditions, we are forced to return to the topic of bypassing the blocking of Internet resources in order to restore the inalienable constitutional right of citizens of the Russian Federation to freely receive and disseminate information.
1. "Turbo mode" in Opera and "Yandex Browser"
The simplest and yet quite effective method to go to sites blocked by your provider is to use the Turbo mode built into the Opera and Yandex Browser browsers. Initially, this mode was intended to speed up the loading of pages on slow connections: traffic from the requested Internet resource is first transmitted to the browser's Internet servers, where it is compressed and optimized - and only then transferred to the client's computer.
Apart from real acceleration downloads, this mode allows you to access blocked resources, since for the provider such traffic looks like data from harmless servers, so Turbo also acts as a free proxy anonymizer that does not require any settings at all.
To enable the "Turbo" mode in Opera, you just need to click on the corresponding icon in the lower left corner of the window, and in "Yandex Browser" you need to go to the settings, click on the "Show additional settings" at the bottom of the page and find the "Turbo" item.
The problem is that sooner or later the Opera and Yandex.Browser servers themselves can be blocked at the provider level, and this function will simply become unavailable. In addition, in the case of Yandex, whose servers are located on the territory of the Russian Federation, pages blocked for display in our country by the content provider itself may not open, which we can already observe now: Alexei Navalny’s LiveJournal opens perfectly in Opera (through foreign servers), while in Yandex.Browser a “stub” is issued about its blocking on the territory of Russia.
2. Stealthy and friGate plugins for Chrome and Firefox browsers
If you are using Chrome browsers or Firefox, then to access blocked resources, you can install the Stealthy plugin, which provides traffic through foreign anonymous proxy servers. To enable the plugin, just click on the appropriate button: green color means that the Stealthy mode is enabled, red means that it is disabled.
Stealthy also has a free online service, but it is less convenient and for some reason does not work as reliably as a plugin.
The main disadvantage of any web proxy is a significant decrease in the speed of access and page loading.
4. Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A radical way to access any network resources without restrictions is to set up a virtual private network(Virtual private network, VPN). As a rule, VPNs encrypt all traffic transmitted through them and redirect it through a whole chain of servers, which provides a very high level anonymity (unfortunately, not absolute, since many VPN providers undertake to cooperate with law enforcement, which is separately noted in the user agreement).
In most cases, a VPN is payable service, however, there are also simplified services that provide the user with minimal functionality for free. In particular, VPNBook offers a completely free services its virtual private network with support for cross-platform OpenVPN technologies or point-to-point tunneling protocol PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol). Both of them are not secure enough if you are interested in intelligence agencies or professional hackers, but for ordinary user fit quite well.
The VPNBook service does not require registration or account creation. Moreover, if you intend to use the PPTP protocol, then you do not even need to install any additional software. Enough in the settings network connections operating system(Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Android, IOS, PS3 are supported) select a new connection and enter the parameters specified on the VPNBook website there. Some ISPs block the PPTP VPN protocol, in which case you will have to download and install free client OpenVPN, which allows you to bypass this limitation and operates through standard TCP protocols or UDP.
5. Tor Browser
"Classics of the genre" - Tor browser based on onion routing technology. Its meaning lies in the fact that all transmitted data is repeatedly encrypted and decrypted, passing through a sequence of "onion routers", each of which redirects them to random routers on the Web. As a result, the need for guaranteed reliability of each of these routers is lost, since it is impossible to determine where the data was originally transmitted from. Of course, like any other, this technology also has vulnerabilities, but when used correctly, it guarantees a very high level of security.
6. I2P network
The alternative to the Tor network is the second most famous anonymous decentralized distributed I2P network. It is a kind of add-on, a "network within a network", a set of encrypted tunnels that provide a high level of anonymity and security for all users. I2P provides the ability to access resources both within the network itself and on the “external” Internet, for which, like in Tor, special gateways are used.
To access sites via HTTP, you will need to download and install the I2P service and then configure your browser to use an HTTP proxy on IP 127.0.0.1 through port 4444. Detailed Instructions, links and a description of the I2P network features can be found in the files attached to the service distribution. Not bad brief instructions for installation and configuration can be found
Hi all! I am in touch with you again, Alexey. In this short post, you will learn how to access a site blocked by Roskomnadzor. Very interesting right? Surely you came across resources on the Internet that you could not open.
Sometimes it happens that some resource becomes unavailable on the Internet by decision of Roskomnadzor. And as a result, you cannot load the site due to the fact that it is blocked by your provider. For example, the same rutracker.org torrent tracker was blocked at the request of the copyright holders. That was a year ago and to this day it remains blocked in Russia. You can check yourself. Here's what it looks like:
In general, after reading this article, you can go to absolutely any site. It also happens that some foreign resources restricted to visitors from other countries. Or, for example, you are abroad, and you need to open your favorite site that is not available.
So how do you learn how to open blocked sites? There is more than one way. Although the principle is the same, but in a different implementation. Now I will tell you everything, read on.
What is the principle?
As I said, the principle is the same, but the execution is different. In order to download a blocked resource, you must be in another country. Who would move for such a trifle? None. That is why, and not only why, there are so-called intermediaries. That is, this is a computer that will be located in another country and which will be able to transfer its traffic to us. They are called proxy servers. Also have VPN networks. All this is paid, and free. Actually, in this way we will get access to any site. This is the principle - to use an intermediary between the user and the Internet.
A proxy allows several computers to access the Internet through one, which is actually a proxy server. That is, you can set local network at home or at work by connecting several computers, one of which will have Internet access. To implement it, you need special software. I won't go into details. Just wanted you to know about it Additional Information about essence of a proxy so to speak.
With VPN networks a little differently. This is a completely different technology, but nevertheless it will be an intermediary. You will enter the private network, and exit the global
Turbo mode in Opera and Yandex.Browser
The easiest way to open a blocked resource is to enable turbo mode. AT normal mode the browser acts directly, immediately accesses the server of the site you need. If the turbo mode function is enabled, then your web browser accesses the servers of Opera or Yandex Browser. Depending on what you are using. The server accepts the request and "goes" to download a web page for you. After downloading, it hands it over to you. Here's how it kind of works. In addition to this feature, the servers will compress the traffic transmitted to you. Actually, this is the main purpose of such an opportunity. They don't call it "Turbo" for nothing.
True, this does not always work if you are going to download sites through the Yandex browser. All due to the fact that some Yandex servers are located in Russia. Therefore, such a focus may not work. But you can always put an addition and not think about it. By the way, since I'm talking about extensions, I suggest that you read the post here. There I talked about add-ons for Yandex.Browser.
How to enable turbo mode in Opera: click on "Menu" in the upper left corner of the screen and select "Opera Turbo".
How to enable turbo mode in Yandex.Browser: Type in url string — browser://settings and go down to the very end without opening " Extra options". Check the "Always" checkbox. Or follow the link browser://tune and activate the mode.
Special browser extensions
There are special extensions that help you change your ip address. When enabled, the web browser accesses the site server through a proxy. I have given examples of extensions below.
- For Firefox: anonymoX
- For Opera: ZenMate VPN
- For Yandex.Browser and Chrome: FriGate
FriGate is already on the list of add-ons in the web browser from Yandex. You just need to activate. Go to address browser://tune and turn it on.
For Chrome users or Yandex.Browser, I suggest using an extension that will help you save traffic and go to blocked sites at the same time. Google developer. You can download here. The truth does not work with HTTPS requests.
Special versions of browsers
I never use this option. Somehow it didn't stick. Such browsers immediately work through several proxy servers, thereby helping to maintain deeper anonymity on the network and give access to all resources on the Internet. I want to note that when using such web browsers, sites load much more slowly. It's either anonymity and access to resources, or speed. Gotta prioritize
Here is one of them - Tor Browser. There is also Globus. Which one to download is up to you. Both are analogues of Chrome in terms of interface. However, I recommend the first option.
Web anonymizers
Web anonymizers are a resource on the Internet with an input form. Here, in general, everything is simple. You need to enter the url of the resource you want to open. Great for occasional use. The internet is full of them and easy to find. Personally, I use hideme.ru. Through the site you can go to any other in an anonymous state.
There is one more good anonymizer, the chameleon is called. I suggest trying it. Here it is .
Online text translators
With the help of such services, you can open a blocked site for a couple of times, and get another translation. I use Google Translate. Haven't let me down yet! Just copy the link to the first translation form, the second one will show active link, which can be clicked. Click and rejoice bypassing the blocking of the site
Computer programs
Yes… There are also programs that will help in solving this problem. On hideme.ru, in addition to the web anonymizer, there is a program that you can freely download and install on any operating system. That is, even on your phone with android or ios (iphone). You can try the full functionality for free for just one day. Then you have to pay.
For those who do not want to pay, I suggest cheating! You are given unique key, which is tied to an E-mail address. AT free version it is valid 24 hours. You can get a new one by entering another E-mail. Everything is logical. Yes, just register every time E-mail addresses not so hot as fun Therefore, you can find the mail for 10 minutes. Search the internet. Or do as I do, create a new one mailing address in an already existing one. This function is in mail.ru but also in yandex.ru, it seems, too. In gmail, I don't know how. For mail.ru, you need to go to the mail settings and you will see it at the very end. Here is a link if so.
Proxy Switcher
Basically normal program. Finds just a bunch of servers to which you can connect. One thing worries me. I don't know where all these servers come from, honestly. Perhaps they just have a base that is being edited. Don't know. But the program is shareware and many people mention it, so it gives me a little confidence.
Proxifier
Simple proxy client. To use it, you need to know the ip address, port and version server proxy, in order to customize. To find all this, you can use the Internet and find free proxy lists.
Hide IP Easy
Another program that will hide your ip. You will be able to open blocked sites, depending on the country you choose, and remain anonymous. True, she pays
Underwater rocks
Decided to talk about them last. I won't speak too hard. Briefly and clearly. If you have any questions, then write in the comments.
In general, the danger lies in free proxy servers. If it belongs to an attacker, then perhaps you will regret it. But what can possibly happen? The whole point is that the traffic will pass through his server, thereby giving him the opportunity to dig into it. Let's say you entered the site by entering your username and password. There is a possibility that an attacker will be able to dig them out. By the way, they do this distribution of wi-fi, in a cafe for example. As a result, he will receive login data, and then you cry bitterly
So it goes. But not always free, so bad. Although, of course, it is better to use a paid one, knowing this information. Or carefully choose a proxy server to avoid such situations.
Output
In order to be able to access a blocked resource on the Internet, an intermediary is needed. Computer, which is located over the hill In order to use it, you need special programs or extensions. I wrote about all this above.
Moreover, VPN and proxy servers help you stay anonymous on the Internet, which reduces the risk of attacks on your computer or mobile device. Unless, of course, you have connected to the attacker's server.
That's all Dear friends! If you have any questions, be sure to write in the comments. I also suggest to my blog, so as not to miss new posts. See you later!
AT recent times the legislation concerning copyrights and distribution of copyrighted materials in open spaces is tightened global network. Due to the satisfaction of numerous complaints about the placement of copyright materials on some Internet resources, Russian providers are required to block a significant number of sites, which include such giants as Rutreker and Rutor. In order to gain access to blocked sites, you should use one of the methods given in the article, the essence of which is to replace the user's IP address.
How to enter a closed site using the Turbo mode in Opera and Yandex?
The simplest method to bypass the blocking of the site is to activate the turbo mode of your Internet browser. Moreover, only two of the current popular browsers- Norwegian Opera and domestic Yandex.
2. Enter the address of the blocked site in a special form and click "Open".
In fact, for all such resources, the actions are similar, except for the interface of the sites is slightly different.
After that, we get to the entered site.
Browsing Blocked Sites with Browser Plugins
Mass released for all Internet browsers useful additions, including plugins designed to bypass the blocking of Internet pages. For example, for Firefox and Google Chrome recommended to use friGate add-on. In addition to supporting both browsers, its use has almost no effect on page loading speed. When visiting a blocked site, friGate will notify the user by changing the color of its icon.
How to install friGate?
1. We go to the official site of the plugin or look for it in the online store of your browser add-ons.
2. Install the add-on by clicking "+Install".
3. Confirm the action.
4. We go to the blocked site, about which friGate warns with a pop-up message and a change in the color of the icon.
The plugin is activated only when you visit resources to which you are denied access. Their list is taken from the application servers and is constantly updated.
Apart from friGate, ZenMate, anonymoX and Browsec plugins are great.
ZenMate, for example, not only provides access to blocked resources, but also allows you to specify a country, the entrance to the site from which can easily imitate, and also encrypts traffic. You will have to pay for such functionality with slow Internet surfing.
Proxy usage
Another reliable method to bypass blocking sites is to use a proxy. Consider the example of using the ProstoVPN service. In addition to providing a proxy, the resource provides 2 more methods to bypass the blocking of Internet resources, including for the Android operating system.
1. Go to the Chrome browser settings.
2. We write "proxy" in the search bar.
3. Click "Change proxy server settings ...".
4. Click on the "Network settings" button.
5. Near "Use script auto tuning"check the box and enter the address "https://antizapret.prostovpn.org/proxy.pac".
6. Click "OK".
Settings for all Internet browsers are carried out in the same way. The instructions can be found by going to: https://antizapret.prostovpn.org.
Login to a blocked site through the Tor network
The classic option to remain anonymous on the network and go to any site blocked by the provider is to use the package free apps to ensure the privacy of Internet surfing called Tor.
All incoming and outgoing traffic when using the Tor application package is encrypted and transmitted through a chain of dedicated routers, making it impossible to determine the source of the data (your computer).
- Go to https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en and download Tor in Russian.
- Unpack the archive into comfortable spot, even on removable media.
- In the network settings window, it is recommended to select a direct connection.
After that, a specially configured FireFox window will open with congratulations.
Use your browser as usual. Add-on software and plugins will do the job, and you will be able to access any site through multiple routers and multiple traffic encryption.
disadvantage using Tor is a noticeable decrease in the speed of loading the contents of Internet pages, therefore it is recommended to use it only for surfing on closed sites.
