HOW TO ACCESS BLOCK'S WEBSITES.
I know a lot of people like to try and access blocked websites at school, college or work so I'm sharing several ways of viewing these blocked sites. Normally when I look around the internet I see one or two of these tricks posted to help people(I didn't discover any of these tricks - a lot of you will already know most), and not all tricks will work on some computers. But this tutorial will share with you 7 ways of accessing blocked websites(as well as teaching you a bit about each one).
1. Proxy Websites
2. Ultrasurf
3. HTTPS
4. Visit With IP's
5. EmailTheWeb
6. Use Translation Websites
7. Ask The Administrators
1. Proxy Websites
Proxy websites work like a middle-man between you and the website you want to visit. Normally, your computer sends the request to the website for all of the information. However in this case, the proxy sends the request to the website and displays it to you. You do not directly connect to the website, which is why you can view webpages that are blocked. The only problem on some computers is that they try to block proxy websites too. It is best to use new proxies and always search for fresh ones while at home as after being used a few times, your school admins will usually block the proxy website.
This is one website which contains a list of proxy websites:

2. Ultrasurf
Ultrasurf is a free executable program which hides your IP from websites, encrypts connection and most importantly it allows you on blocked websites. Ultrasurf works very similarly to the proxy websites described above. Below is Ultrasurf's website:

It can be carried on a USB stick and you don't have to install it on the computer you want to use it on.
3. HTTPS
Look at most links and you will find they start with "http". This means that they use the Hypertext Transfer Protocol, which is a way of communicating between servers and computers. A different method websites can use is "https", a more secure version of http. Many admins often only block http sites, and not https sites. This means that you can simply add "s" after the http to access a more secure, and unblocked, version of the same website(the website will generally look the same if you do this).
4. Visit With IP's
Every computer, server or network connected to the internet has an assigned internet protocol(IP) address. These IP addresses(e.g. 173.194.41.82) can be used instead of domain names(e.g. http://www.google.com/) to visit the same webpage. Some schools block domain names only, so IP addresses can be entered to successfully view the same website.
To find a websites IP address, open up command prompt(cmd). With cmd open, type "nslookup http://www.WhateverWebsite.com/" or "ping http://www.WhateverWebsite.com/". The IP address will look something like the following: 173.194.41.82. Basically, it will be four numbers ranging from 0 to 255 separated by full stops.
Since cmd is blocked on many computers where you do not have admin privileges you can also look online for website IP's with:

5. EmailTheWeb
EmailTheWeb is a website which allows you to email a website to yourself. You need a Google account, but can enter any webpage to be emailed to your account, which can then be viewed in your email inbox. EmailTheWeb has downloadable toolbars for a few browsers as well so you don't have to visit the website.

6. Use Translation Websites
Translation websites use a frame to show you the website. Like many other methods in this tutorial, the translation website will connect to the website you want to visit and show you it in the language of your choice. You are seeing the website through the translation website, so as long as you can visit the translation website, this method should work.
Two popular translation websites are:
