Bypassing URL Filters

31 Dec

Now you want to go to some site at school or work and you it’s blocked. And you get an idea. You start using proxy sites. And a few days later, you see that the proxy sites you used are all blocked. Well you could go around looking for new proxy sites every time the filters block one of the proxy sites you used to visit the blocked sites or you could do something else that is a lot better.

Okay stop thinking about using proxy sites. They will eventually get blocked. Okay now this is a little trick that I will teach you and this works. It’s pretty easy and most likely will work on all URL filters. For example, you want to visit brainfeedlabs.com and it’s blocked. Check if the command-prompt is enabled. If it works then great, and if not then you will have to do this thing at home and try it the next day at school or work. Okay open command-prompt and type “ping brainfeedlabs.com” and you will see some stuff come up on the screen. Now on the first line it should say something like “Pinging brainfeedlabs.com [65.254.250.102] with 32 bytes of data:”. You want to write down the IP address of the domain, which in my example is 65.254.250.102 (the number in the square brackets).

Then you want to convert the numbers in the IP address to an eight-digit binary number. You can do this by using the Windows Calculator. So, open it and click on “View” and set it to “Scientific” and then type “65″ and click on the “Bin” option. And it will convert it to an eight-digit binary number for you. So write down the number and do this for the rest of the numbers and write them down in the order they are in the IP address.

Now you should end up with a number like “100000111111110111110101100110″. And then you want to convert this eight-digit binary number back to a normal number. So do that and you should now have a shorter number like “8650229″. Okay open Firefox or Opera (this does not work in Internet Explorer) and type “http://8650229″ in the URL bar and it should take you to the blocked site. And if does not then check if you have done any mistakes in writing down the IP and then converting it. Or maybe they already have made sure that this does not work. But not a lot of people know about this, so you probably should check for mistakes.

    Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to create something worth my time to read. I am all over the internet and I see so much useless junk that is just created for the sake of putting something new on their page. It takes passion to create good stuff, thanks for caring.
