Other ways to unblock websites
You can get around restrictions in a few other ways, but they won’t always be safe.
Tor is a popular tool used for unblocking websites. However, it can be tricky to set up and may significantly slow down your browsing speeds.
A proxy extension will change your IP address, letting you access blocked sites. However, a proxy isn’t as secure as a VPN.
These platforms turn a blocked website’s URL into a new web address, which may help you access it if it’s blocked on the domain level.
You may be able to access a blocked website by directly typing its IP address, not the URL. However, this method doesn't always work — and may have security risks.
