Using A Free Web Proxy To Unblock MySpace

Visiting sites like MySpace at work or school isn't always as simple as it may be at home. The reason for this is that network administrators like to block sites which they think you shouldn't be visiting.

This may be because those sites are deemed to be inappropriate for some reason. If you are at work the boss may actually prefer it if you were working to surfing your favorite websites. If you are at school it's much the same. Someone thinks you shouldn't be visiting MySpace or other blocked sites.

It is almost always possible to access blocked sites by using a web based proxy. A proxy accesses the blocked site for you so that you never have to access it directly.

Web proxy sites are like a go-between between your computer at school or work and the blocked website you want to visit. The web proxy site isn't banned and so you can access it. You can therefore tell the web proxy site which site you want to visit and it will go to that site for you and display it for you.



Because you aren't asking for the banned site such as MySpace directly, you are bypassing whatever rules have been put in place by the network administrator.

All web based proxy sites will usually have a box where you enter the URL of the banned site you want to visit. Once you enter the URL the proxy server then goes and fetches that site for you.

The problem with accessing MySpace and other blocked sites through a web proxy site is that these sites end up getting blocked too.

The network administrator at your school or office has access to records of the sites visited. It may be possible that they are already scanning for websites with the word 'proxy' or 'proxies' in and banning them automatically.

Often what happens is that you are able to access a blocked site like MySpace through a web proxy but then after a day or so the web proxy itself gets blocked.

But don't panic because there are literally thousands of other web proxy sites. All you need to do is make sure you have a supply of fresh, new web proxies to use in case one stops working.

Sites like MyDailyProxy.com provide daily updates with new and fresh web proxy 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.
