Two years ago an article was published on our website. It dealt with vpn, i2p, proxy, and other ways to bypass all website blocks. You can become familiar with it following the link.

This information is still relevant, since the sites are still being blocked. Technologies are developing, so that more and more modern programs have appeared. We believe that most readers of the portal Casinoz are gamblers but not IT specialists. So, we have prepared an article that will provide you with information about the most simple and popular ways to bypass website blocks. You will easily get access to useful sites blocked by providers.

Browser Protection

1. Opera Turbo

Developers of Opera Turbo have not thought of any blocks and restrictions. They have just elaborated the ways that may allow a page to load much faster. At the moment, providers offer users a high-speed Internet connection of tens or hundreds of megabits. Anyway, you may still face the problems that may lead to loss of connection and decrease in speed. In addition, there is WiFi to which numerous users may be connected in the Internet cafes. So, your download speed may decrease. Finally, some persons are forced to use a slow mobile Internet for one or the other reason.

The developers did not fail. They invented Opera Turbo. This technology was used to compress the images and was firstly implemented in Opera 10. It is based on the following principle: data from any visited web pages are downloaded to the user's computer not directly but via Opera Software. These data are compressed up to 80%, which allows a page to load faster and saves substantially your traffic. It is quite beneficial for non-unlimited Internet when you have to pay for the consumed traffic.

Opera Turbo is used by Western users exactly for this purpose. They just want to load pages faster. However in other countries, where a low number of sites are blocked, other useful features of this utility can be found: Opera Turbo acts as a proxy server, and users may get anonymous access to all the banned resources as a bonus. After all, when your browser has Opera Turbo mode, user requests to blocked sites pass not directly but via Opera Software. Since blocked pages are available for foreign users, you can also open them, but your provider cannot find out that you have visited these banned websites.

It is very easy to switch on Opera Turbo:

  1. Open options or click on the icon Opera with the left mouse button, select General Settings in the menu Settings or press Ctrl+F12.
  2. Open the tab Web Pages.
  3. Select Switched On in the drop-down list of Turbo Mode.

Another way to turn on this mode is to click on the icon Opera Turbo that looks like a speedometer. It is located in the lower left corner of the browser. Then you will have to select Enable Opera Turbo.

 

2. Ultrasurf

A utility developed and tested by Chinese programmers was originally designed to protect users against the Great Firewall of China. However it can be also used for our purposes. Nowadays it is one of the most popular methods to fight Internet censorship. This application is used by millions of people worldwide.

Your actions should include:

  1. Download the utility here: https://ultrasurf.us/, this is free of charge.
  2. Install it.
  3. As soon as you install it, it will open automatically the set Internet Explorer. Enter the necessary site address and enjoy it.

 

3. ZenMate

ZenMate is the other very simple way to cope with Internet censorship. This utility was developed by Google, so that it is used in the browser Google Chrome by default, although it may be compatible with other browsers:

- Mozilla Firefox,

- Opera (Next 15 and better),

- Comodo Dragon,

- Chromium,

- Maxthon Cloud Browser,

- SRWare Iron,

- Yandex.Browser.

In addition, ZenMate can be installed on Android and iOS.

ZenMate uses a VNP technology that allows bypassing blocks of inaccessible websites. Output data from your computer will be encrypted and transmitted to a server in the other country. This foreign server will be used to enter the blocked resource.

Users should not invent anything new. It is just necessary to follow the algorithm:

1. Follow the link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zenmate-security-privacy/fdcgdnkidjaadafnichfpabhfomcebme

2. Click on Install in the right upper corner.

3. It will be necessary to confirm your intention by clicking on Install Extension.

4. As soon as you install ZenMate, it will be necessary to activate it. You need to click on a button below:

 

4. FriGate

This application resembles ZenMate. Three browsers support it:

- Mozilla Firefox,

- Google Chrome,

- Opera.

If ZenMate passes all sites using proxy servers, FriGate has the other mechanism of action: firstly, it determines whether a site is available or not. Only if the site is blocked, FriGate activates a proxy server for it. Actually, these technical details do not affect operations of users.

If you have decided to choose FriGate, you should do the following steps:

1. Open https://fri-gate.org/ru/, select your version of the browser and click on the corresponding button Install For...

2. Click on Install in the right part of the appeared window.

3. While installing it will be necessary to confirm your intention by clicking on Install Extension.

4. Refresh the browser and you can work without any problem.

Pay attention to those nuances that the application warns about: extension is compatible with the sites that are present on the list of FriGate, so it will not open all of the sites. However you can add a site to your own list (in the extensions settings) or send a request to add this site to the global list. In general, ordinary users don’t have to master special settings, and the embedded list is constantly growing.

5. HideMe.ru

HideMe.ru should be mentioned separately. It has been operating for about eight years. This fact only improves its reputation. HideMe.ru provides full-fledged anonymization and VPN services, which allow you to safely use public wireless networks. However it has one significant disadvantage. It is not free of charge, but it costs only 349 rubles per month. Users have 24 hours to check it in regular mode for free. If you enjoy it, you will decide whether to pay for it or not.

To connect to HideMe.ru, it is necessary to do the following things:

1. Visit the page https://hideme.ru/vpn/#519dabbc4a95b and click on Try for Free.

2. Enter your e-mail address and click on Send a Code.

3. Check your e-mail address and copy the received code (if there is no e-mail letter, check your spam folder).

4. Go to the page https://hideme.ru/vpn/, scroll down, enter your code in the corresponding window and click on Connect.

5. You should select what exactly you are going to connect in the window.

While choosing the appropriate device you will see the suitable window with a download link. You have to click on Download. I have chosen Windows and the following window has appeared:

6. Don’t run the downloaded file hideme.ru_vpn_1.08.exe. You should firstly follow the link HYPERLINK

"https://hideme.ru/faq/#a7-1" https://hideme.ru/faq/#a7-1. On this site you should download OpenVPN 2.3.2.

It is also possible to find and read a manual for setting VPN there.

7. Run the installation program for OpenVPN 2.3.2. This program is very simple. It does not differ from the other

installation programs: Next, Next, I agree, Install. You just have to follow the instructions. After installation you will see the following message in the window: Completed. Click on Next.

The final window appears. It is necessary to click on Finished. So, the installation process is complete.

8. Let’s return to the first downloaded file. In my case, it is hideme.ru_vpn_1.08.exe. You should run it. It will be necessary to deal with the similar simple installation program.

9. After all of these manipulations two shortcuts will appear on your desktop: OpenVPN GUI and HideME.ru VPN. Firstly, it is necessary to run GUI OpenVPN. Then the VPN connection icon will appear in the left part of the toolbar.

10. Then run HideME.ru VPN. A window will appear, in which it is necessary to enter your activation code, received in the e-mail.

11. That’s all! The application is installed and run. You just need to select a server, which provides connection, and click on Connect.

If you have done everything correctly, an icon will light up in green and an inscription Connected will appear.

6. ProstoVPN.AntiZapret

This is a free VPN, which can serve also as a proxy-autoconfig and perform VPN and DNS proxying. ProstoVPN.AntiZapret proxies only blocked sites. All other sites operate directly. The list of blocked resources is updated once per day.

Antizapret.prostovpn.org offers step-by-step instructions for different browsers, as well as settings for routers or mobile devices. Actually, there is no need to find special settings, you just have to enter https://antizapret.prostovpn.org/proxy.pac in your browser settings. Its direct location is shown in the picture below.

Protection for Mobile Devices
