V Russian Federation there is an extrajudicial blocking of web resources, as well as blocking that requires a court decision. It is often quite justified, because resources with pirated content or containing pornography and other prohibited materials are blocked. But, as you know, the forbidden fruit is sweet, and many are trying to access blocked resources in all possible ways.
Roskomnadzor recently developed a new bill, which is supposed to reduce the desire to gain access to blocked resources. The authors of the document propose to introduce a ban on VPN, anonymizers and proxies. So far, the proposal has been outlined only on paper. Now we will analyze what methods are most often used to bypass blockages (i.e., in the future - to break the law).
1) Change of DNS server. A very easy to use way. It is enough to manually register public DNS(for example, "eights" from Google) in the settings of the router, and access to sites that are blacklisted will be open. The method works if the blocking was carried out by a domain name.
2) VPN. The principle of operation is that your location changes to another country, as a result of which you get access to the desired site, which is not prohibited in "that" country. The advantage of this method is in encrypting all traffic and, as a rule, an acceptable connection speed. V Opera browser there is a built-in VPN, it is activated with one click of the mouse in the settings. Disadvantages: Most VPN apps are paid and require some configuration.
3) Tor browser. Method with high level anonymity. Due to the fact that information is sent through the nth number of intermediate servers, which are computers located all over the world, the connection speed is not the highest. But access to any blocked site can be obtained without problems, and all your data will remain confidential with a 99.9% guarantee.
4) Anonymizer. The essence of this method is to change your geographic location, thanks to which the doors open for you to visit prohibited sites. The method is very simple. You go to one of the anonymizing sites and enter the required address in the search bar. We recommend choosing the popular and most frequently used sites - 2ip.ru, hideme.ru. anonymouse.org. The advantage of this method is that you do not need to install anything, the speed of work practically does not suffer. Of the shortcomings - limited support, distorted display of information on some pages, lack of anonymity.
5) Turbo mode. The method does not require special skills. The mode is activated by placing a check mark in the corresponding menu item. The main advantage is ease of use, the presence of a mode in the Opera and Yandex browsers and an analogue in Google chrome(DataSaver). The disadvantage is that your IP address is not hidden, the method does not work in all cases, and the connection speed is often low.
In addition to the above methods there are many others, including I2P (Invisible Internet Project), browser extensions, virtual machines... For tablets and smartphones, the methods are similar to those described above. This is the use of the traffic saving mode in mobile browsers, setting up or creating a VPN connection, Onion and Orweb browsers (for iPhone and iPad). Each user, to the best of his needs and knowledge, chooses the method that is more convenient for him and allows him to get the desired result.
Laws are laws, but the state, unfortunately, cannot yet in full restrict access to sites that, in his opinion, violate moral rules, copyrights, destroy political convictions. An advanced user will always find ways to solve the problem and a convenient way to get around the prohibitions. An obstacle to the full implementation of government goals is search engines, which pop up links to prohibited resources and the technologies we have described to bypass any prohibitions.
If you need to provide blocking to certain resources on your network, use complex solution(For example,
TOP-7 ways to bypass the "ban" of sites. Use any of them to gain access to web resources that have been censored or blocked.
Situations when a web page is unavailable due to the fact that you are in the "wrong region" or when access to it is denied system administrator your firm or your internet service provider are fairly common.
In 2014, the Russian government instructed Roskomnadzor to create a list of sites that could be dangerous for "state policy." As a result, about 70,000 websites, almost all torrent trackers, were threatened with a ban for residents of the Russian Federation, and such popular opposition pages as Echo Moskvy, Kasparov.ru and Yozh.ru were immediately blocked. A number of sites have been blocked in Belarus.
There are often cases when company management instructs system administrators to "ban" social networks and blogs so that employees are not distracted from their main responsibilities.
So how do you open a blocked site? Go to rutracker.org or another blocked torrent. We will show you seven easy ways to do this.
Perhaps this is the easiest way. But it is only intended for those users who have a web browser or (alternative link) installed. Just activate "Turbo" and inaccessible online resources will become available.
Initially, the mode was intended for accelerated loading pages when the speed of the Internet connection drops. But since it is based on transmitting traffic through the browser's servers, where it is compressed and optimized, for the provider it also looks like a stream of data from harmless servers. Thus, the browser servers act as proxy anonymizers.
True, in the case of Yandex Browser, such a trick may not always work, since its servers are located on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Extensions such as Hola, Zenmate, Stealthy and Frigate are instantly integrated into the browser and provide a seamless surfing experience on any site. They work on the same principle - they automatically change the user's IP address, thereby distorting information about where he is.
Stealthy and Frigate can be installed for and, Hola, besides it supports IE (there is also a version a separate program Hola - it is useful for those who use, for example, a browser).
Zenmate can integrate into Chrome, Firefox and (to install this add-on, you need to go to the developer's page, since it is not in the extension store).
Another way to open a blocked Vkontakte, Facebook, YouTube or any other resource is to use special anonymizing sites. Their principle of operation is based on redirecting traffic to thousands of proxy servers, which allows you to hide the user's IP.
Among these resources, the most popular are hidemy.name, Zenmate, Nord VPN, Vpn.express, HotspotShield, Speedify VPN. It is enough to paste the link to the page where you are denied access in the corresponding field on the anonymizing site, and the page you wanted to get to will open in a new tab.
The last method, which will help to open any blocked site, is useful for especially cautious users. It is actively used by spies, Reporters Without Borders. It was also used by the notorious Edward Snowden to search for facts exposing high-ranking officials.
Tails is Linux distribution, which can be downloaded to a USB flash drive or SD card. To run it on Windows, you have to use the program or. Software includes a Tor browser, an i2p client, and special cryptographic tools.
After downloading Tails, you can go to any sites, while all information about your online presence will be deleted as soon as you close the program (which looks like user interface Windows), remove the USB flash drive or memory card from the connector.
It is also possible to bypass the "ban" from smartphones and tablets. NordVPN (Android), NordVPN (iOS), and e provide Turbo mode which works in the same way as in PC versions of browsers.
Besides, in Play Market and iTunes, Hola, TunnelBear, and Zenmate are available, allowing you to choose locations from Germany or Britain to Hong Kong and the United States. Such services work not only in the browser, they are compatible with all installed programs... For example, with their help, you can use clients blocked in Ukraine for social networks VKontakte, Odnoklassniki and applications from Yandex and Mail.Ru.
The browser has special function « Free VPN”, It allows you to access the destination page using a proxy server. A similar operating principle is used in
For several years now, Roskomnadzor has been obliging Internet providers to block websites that the so-called “Experts” considered unacceptable on the Russian Internet. They fall into the banned register. This is contrary to the principles of the Internet, where all information should be freely distributed. Fortunately, there are ways to bypass the blocking.
This article will also be useful for those who want to bypass the blocking in educational institution or at work. The instructions will contain only the most simple ways... Choose the appropriate one. At the end of the article there is an instruction for mobile devices.
Browser cache
Try using a cache. This is temporary information. V in this case it contains the site at the time when it last worked. The only downside is that it may be out of date.
In the search engine google system you can take advantage of this by clicking on the small arrow next to the site address. By going to the site, the date of its saving will be indicated. The same can be done in other search engines.
Browser extension
The easiest way to visit a blocked resource is by extension friGate... It is popular for its algorithm of work, which allows you to view blocked sites without slowing down the speed due to own list... The list is constantly growing.
The extension uses its own proxy servers ( intermediate computers). It is enough to turn it on and forget. You will see a semi-transparent icon on the right. It means that the extension is working ( appears only if the site is on the list).
Install and use for:
If you are logging in from work or school, then most likely you will have to add the site manually, as the administrator has probably blocked popular Internet resources.
If the sites are not in the list, then try adding them manually. To do this, go to settings and create your list.
Then open it.
In it, enter the address of the site you want to access.
TOR - browser for anonymity
Download free browser TOR. It allows you to hide your location. With each new session, your IP changes randomly... The data is starting to flow through users like you. This allows you to easily bypass the lock.
Outwardly it looks like Mozilla Firefox... Use it like regular browser and safely enter blocked sites. Its main drawback is slow speed work. The download will take significantly longer than usual.
Turbo mode in Opera and Yandex
In this mode, not only the loading of pages is accelerated, but it also becomes possible to bypass the blocking due to the fact that traffic goes to the servers where the data is compressed and only then is transmitted to the client. Turn it on in the menu like in the image below.
In Yandex, it looks a little different. If you do not want to constantly turn on the mode every time you start, then go to the settings.
At the very bottom, check the "Always On" option as shown below.
Anonymizing sites
Any anonymizer will perfectly cope with the current task. It is a site through which another is viewed anonymously. In the process, your IP changes and thanks to this, the blocking does not work. You just need to enter the address of the desired site in the line.
Here are a few of them:
An example of a successful login to a site from the Roskomnadzor register. As you can see, the link is slightly modified, but otherwise there are no differences.
Login from mobile devices
All of the above methods are also suitable for mobile devices. In case of TOR browser you can use the Orbot app. These are proxy servers combined with TOR for android devices.
More in the settings mobile version Google Chrome can be turned on saving traffic... This will allow you to log in from phones or tablets.
You can download Opera Mini, which will have a similar effect.
The above methods should be sufficient. There are even more advanced methods ( VPN setup, proxy), but their use in this case is impractical. If you have any difficulties, please contact us in the comments.

The easiest ways to open blocked sites
To bookmarks
On March 13, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation combined the sites of several Internet publications and the blog of Alexei Navalny, once again forcing the users of the Russian Internet to think that in the near future blocking will become a routine for them.
TJournal tried the most popular blocking bypass tools and found among them a version "for dummies" - in which everything works at once, without settings.
Turbo Browser Modes 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 the blog of Alexei Navalny, blocked by LiveJournal, without any problems, but it was not possible to enter 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 itself with the best side... Blocked pages loaded quickly and without distortion.
And the option with skipping the site through google translate proved to be ineffective. Neither Navalny's blog nor the Rutor.org tracker ever opened.
Web services
In terms of convenience, web services that offer the opening of blocked sites through proxy servers are not very different from each other. Most often they only require copying the link into a line on their home page and make one click. At the same time, they display desired page with their own hat and work very slowly.
One of the best among them is ProxFree. It is easy to use and does not add its own ads. Analogs include Proxyweb and Hide My Ass.
Smartphone Apps
The most obvious and most simple solution for iPhone users and the iPad turned out to be an Onion browser running through the Onion Router (Tor), whose traffic is nearly impossible to track. The only thing that is required from the user is $ 1 per universal version for all Apple platforms.
In practice, Onion is a seemingly 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 a counterpart called Orweb.
If you want to bypass blocking without using third party browser then TunnelBear is worth a try. This service is available on iOS, Android, PC and Mac and works on VPN technology.
"Start" it on mobile platforms noticeably harder than Onion. On iOS, he first offers to register, confirm email, install profile with VPN settings, enable his profile in the iOS options and only then 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. V free version applications are available 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 latter two are very easy to use.
Browser plugins
The most convenient and effective remedy in this area turned out to be 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 anyone in a known way, notifying the user about entering the "forbidden territory" just by 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! proved to be noticeably worse. First, you need to manually select VPN needed country. Secondly, the plugin often turns the layout of blocked pages into a mess and looks messy in itself. However, as the creators note, it is more intended for viewing media content: to speed up loading streaming video it uses computers of other users with the plugin installed.
Iron
The "iron" way to bypass blocking is a portable proxy server Onion Pi, made on the basis of Raspberry computer Pi. 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.
My provider never got up to block RedTube,
