Login to my VKontakte page. The entrance has been closed: how to open access to Contact at work

In this article I will show all the ways to log into VK. We will learn how to open my VKontakte page on any computer, phone or tablet. I will also tell you what to do if you can’t log in.

How to enter Contact

You can access your VK page from any device with Internet access and a website viewer. From a computer, mobile phone, tablet. Even from TV.

Right now I will show you how to open your page on popular devices. I’ll also tell you what to do if your profile doesn’t open.

VK login from a computer

1. Open a new tab.

2. In the top line, type vk.com or vkontakte.ru in English letters without spaces and press Enter on the keyboard.

3. Either your personal VKontakte profile or the main page of the site will open.

If the main page opens, you need to log in. To do this, in the window on the right side, type your profile information: phone number or email, password. Then click on the “Login” button.

After this, my page (wall) or news will load. This is the VKontakte entrance. Now you can fully use the site: listen to music, play games, chat with friends, join interest groups.

This method works in any Internet program: Google Chrome, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and others.

Note: many users access VK through the Yandex or Google search engine. They simply type the request “VKontakte my page” and follow the links. I do not advise doing this because you may end up on a fraudulent site by mistake.

As a result, you will enter your data there and lose access to your profile. Therefore, it is better to log into VK using the method that I showed. You can also add the site to your browser bookmarks or make it your start page.

VK login from a phone or tablet

There are two ways to open your page from a phone or tablet:

• Via browser
• Via mobile application

Login via browser happens the same way as in the computer version.

At the top of the Internet program, type m.vk.com and go to this address.

The mobile version of the site will open, where we print the login information to my page. And click “Login”.

The news page will load. That's it - you're logged in!

An application is a special program that is installed on a mobile device.

It is convenient if you use the social network frequently. It makes it easier to work with the site: correspond, listen to music, read news. In addition, the application is always online. This means that if someone writes a message, you will receive it immediately.

There is an official application from the Contact team and several unofficial ones from private developers (see table).

Note: You can install several applications at once. Usually after a little testing it becomes clear which one is more suitable.

How to install the application

I’ll show you using the official VK application for Android as an example. Unofficial versions are installed in the same way.

2. Click the “Install” button and wait for the download to complete.

3. An icon will appear on the screen through which the program is launched. Let's open it.

4. We print our login information for the social network and click “Login”.

5. Click “Next” several times and at the end “Let’s go!”

6. The “News” section will open. To move to other sections, use the bottom of the program.

Login to my VKontakte page without a password or login

Login and password are the data used to log into the social network. You can't get into your profile without them.

Most often, the login is the mobile number to which the page was registered. Less commonly, it is an email address. A password is a set of English letters and numbers. It is also created during registration.

How to log in without a password if you have access to your phone

1. Open the site vk.com and in the login form click on “Forgot your password?”.

2. Enter the phone number or email to which the page was registered. Click Next.

3. Type the letters and numbers from the picture. Click "Submit".

4. Enter the last name that is listed in your profile and click “Next.”

5. If the last name matches, then Contact will find your profile. Click on “Yes, this is the right page.”

6. Get the code.

It will come via SMS to your phone. Enter it in the “Confirmation code” column and click “Send code”.

Type the new password for your profile twice and click “Submit.”

A message will appear indicating that the data was successfully modified. Now you need to click on the VK logo in the upper left corner of the site. Then log in to my VKontakte page using the new password.

How to log in without a password if you don’t have access to your phone

If you do not have access to the phone number to which the page was registered, you will have to go through a recovery procedure to log in.

1. Open the site vk.com and in the form on the right side, click “Forgot your password?”.

3. Type a unique profile address, for example, vk.com/id123

If you don't know your address, click the "Click Here" link below.

Now use the person search form to find your page. To do this, type your first and last name from your profile on the top line. If there are too many people with such data, specify the parameters: country, city, age, etc.

When you find your profile in the list, click on the “This is my page” link.

4. Follow the recovery instructions.

Typically you need to do the following:

Now I will show you step by step how to identify the problem and solve it.

If you are on the territory of Ukraine, then in your case we are talking about a global blocking. The same applies to users who try to open a social network on a work or school computer. In these cases, only .

Step 1: check the website address

First you need to look at the site addresses. It is listed in the top line of the browser. It must say vk.com or

If something else is indicated in this line instead of vk.com, then you are on a fraudulent site.

The website “Welcome | VKontakte" and the address bar says vk.com? So, everything is fine - go to your profile and use it. Just to be on the safe side, change your password and log into VK from now on.

And if something wrong is written in the address bar again, it means there is a virus on the computer. Proceed directly to step 3.

Step 2: try to log in from another device

So you've completed the first step. Everything is correct in your address bar, but VK still won’t open. Moreover, other Internet pages work properly.

1. Open the Internet browsing program;
2. On the top line we type m.vk.com and go to this address.

If the site does NOT open on another device. This means the problem is global. It happens that Contact is not available throughout the Internet. This happens when developers update the system or when the site has technical problems. I advise you to just wait a couple of hours and try to log in again.

If the site opened on another device, but it still doesn’t work on yours, which means it’s a local problem. Proceed to the next step.

Step 3: remove the virus

There are viruses that block websites on your computer. This usually applies to popular resources: Odnoklassniki, VKontakte, Yandex, Mail.ru. Now I will show you how to clean your computer from such viruses.

1. Cleaning the hosts file.

To do this, go to “Computer” (Start - Computer) and open the Local disk on which the system is located. Typically this is Local Drive C.

Then open the Windows folder, System32 in it, then drivers and the etc folder in it. There will be a hosts file.

It needs to be opened via Notepad. To do this, double-click on hosts with the left mouse button and select Notepad in the window.

Now we delete the line where it says vk.com. Usually it looks like in the picture (the numbers may be different).

And let's try to get in touch

On May 15, 2017, President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree blocking a number of Russian resources on the territory of Ukraine. Their list included the social networks VKontakte and Odnoklassniki, search engines Yandex and Mail.ru. The ban has already come into force, Internet providers have begun to restrict access to popular resources. For those users who do not want to put up with the current situation, we have prepared detailed instructions on how to access sites blocked in the country.

How to bypass VKontakte blocking on a computer

There are several ways to regain access to Vkontakte, Odnoklassniki, Yandex, Mail.ru and other inaccessible resources: using a VPN, Tor browser or traffic saving mode in Chrome. In all cases, the real Ukrainian IP address of the user is replaced, since data transfer takes place through foreign servers in countries where yandex.ru, vk.com and other resources are allowed.

Via Opera

The Opera browser for PC (download: http://www.opera.com/ru/download) has a built-in VPN. To activate it, click on “Menu” in the upper left corner.

Select "Settings" from the list.

Go to the Security section and check Enable VPN.

A “VPN” icon will now appear next to the address bar. By clicking on it, a list of additional options will open: there you can disable the virtual network, see the amount of transmitted traffic and change the server.

Other VPN services and how to install them

There are many decent options: for example, TunnelBear or Hola. Personally, I have been using the ZenMate browser extension for a long time. The free version has a limited list of countries, but you can log into VK, Odnoklassniki or Yandex from any of them.

In Chrome open the menu, select “More tools” → “Extensions”.

Scroll down and click "More Extensions".

The Chrome Web Store will open. Find ZenMate and click the Install button.

Then “Install extension”.

To use ZenMate, you must register for an account. It won't take long.

A service icon will appear in the upper right corner, clicking on which you can manage the VPN.

In Firefox Click on the menu and select “Add-ons”.

A new tab will open, go to the Extensions section and search for “ZenMate”.

Click “Install” next to the desired extension.

You will also need to create a new account or log into an existing one.

Enable/disable VPN, change the server region using the button at the top.

Alternative options are available for Chrome and Firefox that work similarly to ZenMate. In the free version the number of countries is limited:

• friGate
• Browsec

Tor Browser

A well-known tool for anonymity on the Internet can be useful for accessing blocked sites. Tor is a virtual tunnel system that allows encrypted connections. Your ISP will not be able to track outgoing traffic. For ease of use, the developers shoved Tor into the Firefox browser shell. Download the utility for your computer.

Anonymizers

It’s far from the best way to bypass blocking of prohibited VK, OK or Mail.ru, but it’s worth mentioning. There are special sites that allow you to open web pages through a proxy. Just insert the resource address, for example, vk.com or ok.ru and go to it.

Although anonymizers make it possible to log into VKontakte and Odnoklassniki in Ukraine, unfortunately, many of them engage in phishing, so for browsing on social media. networks where you have to enter your username and password are not suitable for everyone. In addition, the proxy data transfer speed leaves much to be desired.

Saving traffic in Google Chrome

Using the above instructions for installing add-ons in Chrome, download the Data Saver extension. After that, try opening the desired site.

If necessary, the function can be disabled by clicking on the corresponding icon in the upper right corner.

How to log into VK, Odnoklassniki, Yandex in Ukraine from your phone

Now let's move on to ways to open blocked sites Mail.ru, Vkontakte, Yandex and Odnoklassniki from smartphones and tablets running Android and iOS.

On Android (browser settings)

Mobile browsers Chrome and Opera also have a data saving mode.

In Chrome for Android you need to go to “Menu” → “Settings” → “Traffic Saving” and activate this option.

expand the menu and click on the gears.

Select “Traffic Saving” and activate it.

Thanks to such simple manipulations, you may be able to access mobile versions of social networks. networks from a browser.

We go to the VKontakte application on Android using a VPN

If you are used to using the VK application, you will have to install . It appeared on Google Play not long ago, you can download it.

Everything in the program is extremely clear: with one button you launch the VPN and with the same button you can change the region if necessary. To disable VNet, open the side menu and toggle the slider.

UPD: Due to the large number of Opera VPN installations from Ukraine, the developers have temporarily removed the application from the Ukrainian version of Google Play. Instead, use a suitable VPN service for Android from our selection (link to article above). A similar program that will quickly help you bypass the blocking of VK and Odnoklassniki is Turbo VPN: activated with one button, there are several countries to choose from. The downside is that advertising is shown during use.

Proxy server in the VK client

In the updated VK application for Android, the developers have added the “Use Proxy Server” function. Go to Settings → General and activate it.

We use VPN on iPhone, iPad

For Apple devices, the list of free VPN services is limited. The Opera client is not available in the Ukrainian App Store, but there is an equally good option - Browsec. I use it myself and recommend it.

Management is as simple as possible: several free locations are available in the drop-down menu on the main screen (their list is expanded in the premium version). Below is a slider that turns the protection on/off.

Another popular application is VPN Master. It is enough to press a single button to redirect traffic to a foreign server. In the side menu, select the region, the ping is also displayed there.

Tor for mobile devices

On Android, Tor comes in the form of two applications: Orbot Proxy and Orfox: Tor Browser.

After downloading, open the first one and click “Launch”, thereby creating an encrypted connection.

In addition, Orbot Proxy can be useful with its experimental feature - VPN application mode. That is, a virtual private network is not created for the entire Android system, but only for the programs you select. To do this, activate the first item in the side menu, then check the application from the list.

There is a VPN Browser application for Apple devices. The free version has ads, so I would recommend buying PRO for 149 rubles.

Changing DNS

The last way to access VK, Odnoklassniki and Yandex in Ukraine is to change the DNS addresses of the provider’s servers to public Google Public DNS:

• 8.8.8.8
• 8.8.4.4

If you are using a Wi-Fi router, change them in the settings.

On a Windows PC, the DNS setup process will take a little longer:

1. In the taskbar, right-click on the Internet connection icon, select “Network and Sharing Center”.

Very often people surf the Internet during working hours. And then one day they notice that VKontakte has been blocked at work. And then they have to think for a very long time about how to get around this unexpected trouble. Now there are a lot of different techniques. Which ones exactly? Let's try to find out together.

Agreement

In order to solve our issue, it is important to understand how to block VKontakte on your computer. Who in the office is responsible for the functioning of your operating systems? Of course, the system administrator! And this is our chance to help answer how to bypass blocked VKontakte.

Try to find a common language with the system administrator. If you succeed, you can ask him to tell you how to block VKontakte on your computer. Unlocking usually occurs in the same way. In addition, you can always ask the administrator to return your access to the social network secretly. Typically, system administrators are accommodating and friendly people. Promise that you will use your profile carefully and you will most likely get help. If not, then let's think further.

Anonymizer

Don’t be afraid that you have been permanently blocked from VKontakte at work. The point is that any user can easily bypass this problem. And yet remain unnoticed. What are we talking about?

The point is that if you were unable to reach an agreement with the system administrator, then you can always try to bypass the blocking using special Internet services. They are called anonymizers. Then you don’t have to think about why VKontakte is blocked and how to solve the problem. You just need to log in to the social network through an anonymizer, and everything will be resolved.

Find a suitable service on the Internet. In the line that appears, enter the address of the social network, and then click on the “Login” button. Then you can try to log in to the social network. That's all the problems are solved. Even if VKontakte is blocked at work, you can cope with this problem. Let's try to find out how else we can solve this problem.

Cleaning the system

VKontakte has become a very popular social network. “My page is blocked, but can I solve the problem on my own?” - the Internet user thinks. Can! Even without the help of anonymizers or conversations with system administrators. True, for this step you will have to have some skills.

If VKontakte is blocked at work, then you will need to find one file that is responsible for the operation of sites on a particular computer. It's called "Host". We will work with him.

Has your VKontakte page been blocked? What to do? Just open "My Computer" and find the system partition there. Typically this is called a "C claim". Open it and go to the "Windows" folder. In it, go to “system32”, then to “drivers”, and then to “etc”. Here will be the document we need.

Right-click on it and open with Notepad. In order not to think for a long time about what should be changed in the written text, simply erase all the inscriptions that are contained inside “Host”. Save your changes and then look at the result. As a rule, this is enough.

If not, then restart your computer. Now everything will work properly. Now you know what to do if VKontakte is blocked at work. But these are not all the options for solving the problem. There are several other very interesting ways. Which ones exactly? Now we will look into this matter.

Action of viruses

Well, sometimes blocking a page is the work of viruses. And then the boss has nothing to do with it. Have you blocked your VKontakte page? What to do if the cause is a virus? Let's figure it out.

In the case when access is blocked due to viruses, you have to work with the “Host” file. Simply erase everything written on it and then save. But often this is not enough. You can try to scan your computer for viruses and then clean the operating system. If viruses have blocked VKontakte at work, you can talk to your system administrator about it. After all, it is his job to monitor the integrity and safety of computers.

True, viruses are a relatively rare occurrence at work. Often such blocking occurs at the initiative of the employer. He does this to ensure that his employees do their work properly and are not distracted. This means that we will have to think about what else can be done.

Your gadgets

Is your VKontakte “My Page” blocked? Then you can resort to one trick: surf the social network from your own gadgets. It could be a tablet or a phone. The main thing is to maintain secrecy. If you are caught, you will most likely be banned from using gadgets altogether.

Another very important point is that you must have your own mobile Internet on your phone/tablet. This will protect you from appearing in the list of connected devices once again. Now you can find very favorable and inexpensive tariffs from mobile operators.

In fact, if VKontakte is blocked at work, then it would be preferable to use a cell phone. With him, the risk of “clashes” with management is several times lower. True, this is far from the only solution.

Don't be on social networks

Have you blocked VKontakte at work? Then we will try to offer you another rather interesting approach to solving the problem set before us. What exactly are we talking about?

Yes, that you should simply not be on social networks at work. Do your tasks, and in the evening, at home, relax on social networks. Maybe after some time your access to VKontakte will be unblocked at your workplace. In truth, you can't rely on your employer's kindness here. It’s better to cultivate a “core of steel” and the habit of distancing yourself from the Internet. Only this will help you cope with your temptations to unblock VKontakte.

Conversation with the boss

In fact, you have one more alternative scenario. The point is that if VKontakte is blocked at work, then you can always just talk to your boss. Ask him to unblock access to social pages.

Quite often, an honest conversation can help correct the situation. In fact, a properly set up dialogue solves most problems, including those with blocked pages on the Internet.

However, not all bosses are able to trust their employees. You can ask your boss to give you access to social networks only at certain moments and for a short period of time, when you really really need to talk. For example, you are waiting for news from close relatives or work information. Maybe this approach will help you use VKontakte at work.

Conclusion

Well, it's time to sum up our article. We have figured out what paths you should take if VKontakte is blocked at work.

As you can see, most of them require dialogues with employees and the boss. In fact, a properly conducted conversation very often helps solve most problems.

In general, the most popular methods of combating blocking of social networks in the workplace are the use of anonymizers and an agreement with system administrators. In addition, particularly advanced users can use the option of clearing the “Host” file in the system partition of the hard drive.

In truth, at work it is better to focus only on your responsibilities. Then you can easily and simply avoid problems with social networks. Only if the boss sees that his subordinates are doing business, then there will be no need to block computers from social networks.

It's no secret that employers are struggling with the use of social media in the workplace. And it’s not surprising, since social networks significantly reduce productivity. The workers themselves “suffer” because of this and often ask how to get to their favorite VKontakte if access is closed. Let's try to figure it out.

First of all, you need to find out exactly how access to your favorite social network was blocked. Often system administrators use the simplest method of blocking access to sites through the hosts file. It is located at C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ (you can replace the letter C with the drive letter where Windows is installed).

If you open the file and see extra lines after the entry::1 localhost or 127.0.0.1 localhost like 127.0.0.1 vk.com, this means that access to the specified resources is blocked.

To unblock them, sites that are closed to access must be removed from the hosts (they are highlighted in red in the screenshot above). It would seem that everything is simple, but no. The fact is that these files can only be deleted from an administrator account, which is usually only accessible by a system administrator. But even if you have an administrator account, on Windows 7, for example, you can only change the hosts file as an administrator. To do this, notepad must be run as administrator. For example, in Start, find Notepad, right-click and select “Run as administrator”:

Let's say that nothing worked out for you because you don't have editing rights. Or the system administrator uses a special program that allows you to block unwanted resources. What should I do? Try using an anonymizer. One of the most popular anonymizers is Chameleon (cameleo.ru). Everything is simple here: open the anonymizer website, enter a link to the desired site and press the Go button.

There are a wagon and a small cart of anonymizers on the network for every taste. But there are a couple of important points. So, if the system administrator installed a program to block various resources, then the anonymizer can also be blocked. The second extremely important point is the safety of the entered data from your VKontakte page (login and password). For example, you found some kind of anonymizer in a search engine, logged into VK with its help, and entered data. This data is seen by the anonymizer administrator and can be used for various purposes. We strongly recommend that you be careful where you enter your information. If you are afraid that your data will fall into third hands, you should stop using anonymizers.

If neither editing the hosts file nor anonymizers help you, then the only solution for you is to use the VK mobile application for smartphones and tablets. Indeed, this is one of the most optimal ways to bypass blocking, because no one can take your phone away from you, much less block the application itself.

The application exists for various platforms, including iOS, Android and Windows Mobile.

You can ask your questions using comments.

Doesn't make contact at school or at work? What is the reason? But the fact is that educational institutions block access to sites with distracting topics. Most often, access is limited by the network administrator. Or perhaps there is a filter installed on the computers themselves. The principle of the filter’s operation looks something like this: when you request a site on a distracting topic that is included in the list, it interrupts the connection and displays a regular connection error (and perhaps more clearly - the filter displays a special window with information that the site is placed on the list of prohibited and is inaccessible ). A similar situation happens when VKontakte and other social networks are blocked at work.

Someone is wondering how to log into VKontakte at work, and someone is looking for a way to bypass the filter at school. The answer to all this is one and quite simple.
You can use a web proxy. A web proxy is an application installed on a web server that acts as an intermediary for downloading content and pages from various websites.

It's very simple. Open any free web proxy site from the list below or from the directory http://www.proxies.biz/. Or search in a search engine with the request “web proxy” or “free web proxy”. Enter the address of the required site in the input line and press the go button.

You will go to a site under a “foreign” IP address and most likely from a different country. Therefore, you will be recognized as a foreigner and the site may be displayed in a foreign language. In this case, just switch the language to Russian. In order to make sure that your IP address has changed, you can use the whoer.net service. It allows you to find out the current IP address, country and other information.

Web proxies are most often used for:
-bypassing the filter of administrator restrictions on access to some sites
-anonymous surfing the network and hiding the IP address
-viewing sites that are prohibited from access in some countries
- testing online services
