If you’re in one of those countries with Governments that go overboard with their censorship or at work with condescending IT staff that doesn’t let you watch ‘certain’ sites – here’s some really useful cool tips to see all of those banned URLs.

The most popular method is Anonymizer – that fetches the blocked page from their servers and displays it to you.

Type the IP address instead of the URL in the browser – this won’t work if the system is blocking IPs as well.

URL redirection service like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com – these work in some cases.

Use Google Mobile Search. Google display the normal HTML pages as if you are viewing them on a mobile phone.

Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page.
