Proxify

Want to know how to use Proxify.com to gain access to banned websites. This simple video (too simple for some, I’d say) shows you how.

Proxify.com is paid for by ads, but you can sign up to get an ad-free version and other features. Or, if you’re using Firefox you can simply add NoScript and AdBlockPlus to skip the advertisers and protect yourself from errant sites. Of course, with proxify.com you cannot login to any sites like Orkut, Facebook, MySpace etc. An ongoing detailed discussion on accessing banned sites is underway elsewhere on Sig Figs. I recently discovered Hotspot Shield which proxifies your browsing and hides you from firewalls, wi-fi interference and other issues as well as allowing you to access banned sites easily.

Did Proxify work for you? If not what did you try instead, comments in the usual place below.

    Sorry to hear that VIJI, since writing this post, I’ve discovered another solution in the form of Hotspot Shield, which you may like to check out.

    i cant find a web site that will let me access myspace at school!! can you help me??

  • David Bradley // Jan 22, 2008 at 8:21 pm

    India, if none of the proxies work, then I’m afraid you’re probably stuck with doing your schoolwork instead of hashing around on MySpace, sorry.

  • David Bradley // Mar 12, 2008 at 10:42 am

    Rajesh, on the basis of the other comment you posted, I suspect you have a virus that is locking you out of the systems you’re trying to access.

    Hi ..When i download the hotspot , am not able to access orkut on in my pc but wen i tried doing the same procedure in other pc it works …how come ?

  • David Bradley // Apr 9, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    @Savita – sounds like it could be a firewall issue. You have to allow the hotspot virtual private network it creates to pass through your firewall unhindered.

  • Anup // Jun 27, 2008 at 7:27 am

    can u provide any proxy crack for orkut and facebook as i cant access this from my office

  • David Bradley // Jul 2, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    Another alternative to Proxify is nolocks.net.

    Apparently, it allows you to browse anonymously and/or bypass network restrictions.

    NoLocks fetches the pages you want to see and sends them back to you without you having to connect via your company, school, or home system.

  • Patrick Jordan // Jul 27, 2008 at 4:39 am

    Often sites block not just an ip adress but also the mac address.I have not found any free solutions on the net,however I have got back into sites I was banned from. I have tried on a trial basis(usually 3 free days)by using software that spoofs both The ip and mac.(two seperate programmes.

  • David Bradley // Jul 28, 2008 at 10:29 am

    Interesting point Patrick, but I know that war-drivers are able to spoof MAC addresses, so that shouldn’t be a permanent problem for an enterprising individual

  • swapnil gurav // Aug 9, 2008 at 6:37 am

    Access Denied
    Your company policy doesn’t allow you to browse this url orkut.com

    Site blocked

    what can i do plz help me ????????

  • patrick // Oct 9, 2008 at 4:54 am

    This is philosophical more than helpful I think.
    The net is Full of Facist Governments,Bully Moderators and all sorts of various lower forms of life.Is it worth the effort to outsmart them really ?. One solution might be to completly Boycott sites who ban for no good reason.
    David Bradly Perhaps YOU could set up a Social networking Site? That has no bullie,s&allows freedom of speech ? I am only half joking.
    Really people If site Moderators bully You,Just ignore the site,It only hurts for a while ! ;-)
    If Your Govt wont allow access to Your site they are not fit to Govern and People should do ALL peaceful things they can to change their leaders

  • David Bradley // Oct 9, 2008 at 7:42 am

    Yes, Patrick, very philosophical, not at all practical, but philosophical, yes…

    I could set up a social networking site, but if it became popular and had content that the less enlightened regimes of the world or employers/principals didn’t like it would be banned on principle and you would all be in the same position as you were yesterday, looking for proxies and filter switches.

  • Patrick // Oct 10, 2008 at 1:02 am

    Lol/Ha ha David Bradley.I suppose You are right ! Where is the Song Imagine when You need It ?
    thank You for reply&keep up the fight ! ;-)

  • Patrick // Oct 11, 2008 at 1:54 am

    Hi David,
    one social network I know will not even allow Me to see homepage,True I pissed of the owner by posting the company ip adress on his site,only when He had become So smug&smartassed about banning people by i.p adress,s.Can You tell Me does He need the co-peration of search engine providors to stop Me being even able to see front page before any attempt to log in ?
    Regards
    patrick

    some proxy sites also banned
    i want to acess orkut plshelp me

  • David Bradley // Jan 20, 2009 at 7:32 am

    The question that always comes to mind is: don’t you guys have access outside college? What are you doing wasting time online when you’re supposed to be studying, anyway?

  • Samantha // Mar 2, 2009 at 8:42 pm

    ok, if you are in college and aren’t allowed on myspace or proxies…why don’t you take the time to study and do your work instead of wasting time trying to get on myspace when you can do that at home?

  • Sarah // Apr 8, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    I use proxifyweb.com. It is a good proxy service and can easily access many blocked sites at my office.

  • shweta // Nov 11, 2009 at 3:41 pm
