Using A Free Web Proxy To Unblock MySpace & Other Websites

Often if you try to access sites like MySpace at school or work you will find they are blocked. There are many reasons why network administrators block sites. They may perceive there to be a risk to the network from viruses or other downloadable threats. Often it is simply a case of stopping you from spending time doing something when you should be doing something else like working!

Whatever the reason MySpace and other sites are blocked it is nearly always possible to bypass this protection by using a free web proxy site to access the affected site indirectly.

Proxy sites are like a go-between between the network you are on and the site you want to access like MySpace. If the network you are on is blocking MySpace for example you can get around this by going to a free web proxy which is not blocked.

The proxy site usually has a box where you can enter the address of the site you want to visit. Once you have entered the site and clicked the submit button the proxy server then goes and fetches that site for you.

In most cases the network you are on is only aware of the proxy site you have visited and not the site you have actually requested such as MySpace.

However, since the network administrator at your school or office can see you have visited the proxy site, the proxy site will usually get banned within a day or so. This means you will need to find a new web proxy each time the old one has been blocked.

Sites like MyDailyProxy.com provide daily updates with new and fresh web proxy sites. These sites provide a vital service because it is important to have a list of new web proxies as old ones become blocked at school or work.

The problem is that these sites can become blocked too which means it is difficult to find new proxies while at school or in the office. Fortunately, it is possible to receive daily updates by text on most cell phones from such sites.

It is a good idea to check such sites for new web proxies before you leave for school or work. That way you won't get stuck without a working proxy site while you are at school or the office.

The next time you find yourself blocked at school or work you will hopefully have a list of free web proxy sites which will allow you to access blocked sites.
