not available&#8221; or \u201cThis site can\u2019t be reached\u201d appearing on your screen, or you will see this kind of page.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocked_by_Your_Administration_at_Work\"><\/span>Blocked by Your Administration at Work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At every workplace, some platforms are blocked, and you can&#8217;t access them; most of the time, it is due to maintaining the productivity of employees. These block sites include online streaming platforms, gaming, or social media platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you enter the website\u2019s URL in the search bar, it will check among the websites that are blocked on your network. If the site is blocked, it will show a blocked page only.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocked_by_Your_Government\"><\/span>Blocked by Your Government<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some platforms are blocked by the government, there may be political or security concerns, or blocking the platforms to protect users from viewing and exploiting content. And sometimes the government blocks the sites so people can\u2019t talk openly regarding the flaws in the government or to show their dissatisfaction. There are some major examples of North Korea where Kim Jong Un made all the major platforms, maybe it is X (Formerly known as Twitter), so the citizens can\u2019t raise their voices against the government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is another example of China\u2019s \u201cGreat Firewall\u201d; the Chinese government worked a lot on it so that people could create their own social platforms and websites. The blocked country is from different countries that do not follow China\u2019s content regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blocked_by_ISP\"><\/span>Blocked by ISP<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, the government and internet service providers block websites due to government laws. This is to prevent users from limiting bandwidth usage. Most of the streaming sites are blocked, where you can easily download your favorite games, movies, and software for free. These free torrenting sites contain third-party links that can bring internet service providers into legal issues, as they may have to pay huge penalties for it. With that, they block all such sites that can be used for hacking or other illegal activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Access_Blocked_Websites\"><\/span>How to Access Blocked Websites?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unblocking websites is no issue at all; there are various ways you can opt to access the blocked websites. In this part of the blog, you will learn successful and tried methods of unblocking the sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_VPN\"><\/span>Use a VPN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a VPN is the most common practice whenever you need to access blocked websites. VPN will not only unblock the sites, but also secure your network from unauthorized access. VPN will let you watch all your favorite content that is restricted in your region with full anonymity. A <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/virtual-private-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Virtual Private Network<\/a> will conceal your real IP with the VPN server\u2019s IP address, which will keep your real information hidden from your ISP and cyber attackers. Your ISP won&#8217;t be able to track your online activities as your reallocations will be hidden using a VPN IP.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using a VPN on blocked sites is an advantage; you can shop from your favorite brand\u2019s website that is blocked in your country, and you can avail of all the discounts available in that country. If you are in the country while traveling, where there is a language barrier, and the content is in their local language only. You can connect to a <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/servers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VPN server<\/a> in your preferred country and access the content of your choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always make sure to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/\">best VPN service<\/a> like iProVPN, which will bypass all the restrictions in your country, and you can securely stream your go-to content. And your data will stay encrypted on the VPN tunnel. Interestingly, the iProVPN app is available on all of your devices, including <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/android-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/ios-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iOS<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/firestick-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fire TV Stick<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/apple-tv-vpn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Apple TV<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/blog\/vpn-on-smart-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Android TV<\/a>, and more. You can install extensions for your <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/chrome-vpn-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrome<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/download\/firefox-vpn-extension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Firefox browsers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Connect_iProVPN_to_Blocked_Sites\"><\/span>How to Connect iProVPN to Blocked Sites?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purchase your suitable VPN package from the iProVPN official website.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Install an application on your device.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once installed, sign in to the app.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connect to any one VPN country server.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, the VPN is connected.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all this VPN installation process, now you can safely access all the blocked websites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_Proxy\"><\/span><strong>Use a Proxy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also use a proxy server, which works the same way as a VPN does. A proxy hides your real IP with a proxy server\u2019s IP. Once you request the site\u2019s access, it will go through the proxy server and then to the website you want to access. This proxy helps you unblock websites. Proxies are free and considered unsafe as compared to a VPN, as proxies do not encrypt your online traffic. <\/span>Use a proxy to unblock websites; you cannot connect the proxy to the whole device.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although proxies have some downsides, they can still use them to unblock websites. They are free, easy to connect to, and available online.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_a_Tor_Browser\"><\/span><strong>Use a Tor Browser<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way of unblocking a website is to use Tor Browser. You can use it to stay anonymous online and access blocked websites. Tor Browser works by transferring online traffic through multiple volunteer servers. It hides your real IP so your ISP won\u2019t be able to know about your online activities and prevents hackers from tracking your real information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To use a Tor browser is free; download it, and it will work like any other browser.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, there are some disadvantages of this tool, just like any other online tool ha. Tor can slow down your internet speed and can block some media plugins that can reveal your identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customize_Security_Preferences\"><\/span>Customize Security Preferences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can change the security settings. If you have administrative rights, it sometimes helps to unblock the website by configuring the computer\u2019s settings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_Off_the_Microsoft_Defender_Firewall\"><\/span>Turn Off the Microsoft Defender Firewall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow these steps to disable Microsoft Defender Firewall on your computer.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on \u201cWindows\u201d from the taskbar of the computer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on the gear icon \u201csettings\u201d or type to search.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Click on \u201cPrivacy &amp;
