Thus, the Kiev online newspaper “Strana” опубликовала detailed instructions for bypassing site blocking and collected the most popular methods..

“Sites

VPN (virtual private network), in the context of bypassing blocking, is a way to spoof your location by pretending to be a resident of a country in which the site you want is not prohibited. In this case, the user receives a secure channel with encryption of all transmitted data. This technology works with browser extensions, or plugins for the browser you use.

For example, we use Chrome.

We go to the extensions directory through the browser settings button.

There we write VPN and the catalog will offer extensions that work using this technology.

Select the one you need and click “install”. For example, we chose the first one from the list - it turned out to be ZenMate. Install it in the browser.

The plugin will prompt you to register using email, and will then appear in the extensions panel.

 

By default, our traffic went through Romania, but by clicking on the extension icon, you can select any other country from the list.

 

Another similar extension is hola! One of the disadvantages is that you need to manually select the VPN of the desired country. Also, the plugin often disrupts the layout of blocked pages, making them difficult to read. However, according to publishers, it is better suited for viewing media content: it uses other users' computers with the plug-in installed to speed up loading of streaming video.

There is also a service called TunnelBear. It is available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac and also works with VPN technology. It is more difficult to install it on mobile platforms. So, on iOS, it first asks you to register, confirm your email, create a profile with VPN settings, enable its profile in iOS options, and only then start working.

Proxy server. This is the name of a server that acts as an intermediary: you trust it to get the information you need for you. That is, you contact the proxy server, which requests information on the blocked resource and transmits it to you. In the simplest case, a proxy server is designed in the form of an ordinary website, where you need to enter the address of the resource you need.

Among such services are Hideme, Ninjacloak, ProxFree, Proxyweb, Hide My Ass, Proxfree.com, Stealthy.co. The way they work is very similar: they usually just require you to copy a link into a line on your home page. The disadvantage of such services (as well as most other methods) is that pages load much slower, and sometimes videos or music are completely impossible to play.

Tor browser program is an anonymous virtual network that transmits traffic in encrypted form and guarantees complete anonymity. The browser has a large number of additional settings to ensure maximum anonymity.

Software running on each TOR participant's computer helps forward packets from other participants. Any request you make will be encrypted and transmitted from one TOR user to another a certain number of times and then sent to its destination. After which the user will be returned a response. No one except the first and last node will know where the request was addressed, or what information was requested.

Browser turbo mode. In the Opera browser, you just need to enable Opera Turbo in the settings, which will help you bypass the restrictions.

Mobile devices

Experts say that mobile applications (VKontakte, Odnoklassniki, etc.) should work without restrictions, because they are not tied to a domain name.

As an alternative, for iPhone and iPad users there is the Onion browser, which runs through the Tor routing system, where traffic is almost untraceable. The only thing required from the user is $1 for the universal version for all Apple platforms. For Android there is an analogue called Orweb, as well as OrBot and Puffin Web Browser,” the publication writes.
