Team Buffington When surfing in cyberspace, sometimes we find websites that are blocked. But actually we can still access it in several easy ways.
Some of these ways just stay to change the settings within the browser itself. There is also some software that can be used to bypass the block.

However, it should be noted that blocking a website must have a reason. Make sure the website you want to visit does not violate the law in Indonesia.

Here’s how summarized from the official Avast page, Tuesday (19/12/2023):
- Use A Proxy
Using a proxy will not be as fast or secure as a VPN. But it can be an option when using a PC in public and does not allow using a VPN.
Keep in mind many Proxy servers are unencrypted and installed with certain applications or browsers. So for security reasons do not use this method to transmit financial data or other sensitive information.
- Use Google cache
If a user is blocked from the original version of the site, they may still be able to access it through the cache. Here’s how to find the version of a website or page in Chrome’s cache:
Go to the Google homepage and enter the website or webpage you want to unblock
Click the down arrow to the right of the site URL
Click Cached
- Use IP Address
Simple blocking usually targets only domain names, not IP addresses. You can find the IP address by using the Whois locator tool.
On the website there is a lot of information about the site, who owns it and the IP address. From there you can access its IP adress site.
- Unblock in Chrome and Safari
You can also unblock it with a browser extension. here’s how to use it in Chrome:
Open Chrome, click the three dots and go to tools more follow with Extensions
Open the hamburger menu, then open Extensions. Open Chrome Web Store
Enter the proxy or proxy server or VPN proxy server into the web store search field
Chrome. Find the extension you want to add and click Add to Chrome
Once a pop – up message appears, click Add extension to confirm the installation
Click the extension icon and start using it
Meanwhile, if you’re using a Mac, you can set up a proxy directly within Safari. So no need to connect manually anymore. To configure Proxy Settings, see the following method:
Open Safari and click Preferences
Click Advanced and Change Settings
Make sure the proxy you want to edit is selected
Add the endpoint address for the preferred proxy service in the Web Proxy Server Field
Click Ok, and Apply to complete the setup
- Switch between HTTP and HTTPS
You can change the web address with secure access (HTTPS) to HTTP. However, this method is not recommended due to the use of insecure protocols.

- Use Tor Browser
TOR or The Onion Router is an open-source project consisting of the Tor Browser based on the Firefox browser and the Tor network. This will provide multiple layers of encryption of the traffic, which will hide the blocked IP Address from being accessed.
But keep in mind web browsing will be very slow when using Tor. Here’s how to use it:
Sign in to the Tor Browser site
Select the device you’re using and follow the instructions to install Tor
Once installed, select the configuration provided
Proceed to the next step and you are connected to Tor Browser. You can access previously blocked websites.
- Use VPN
As mentioned earlier, VPN is the best and safest way to open blocked sites. The network is secure and encrypted.
When the VPN is connected, then you will connect with the remote server and connect with the website. The IP Address is also hidden.
