What do you do when you have a firewall enabled in your company or university/college. According to human psychology, it’s very common to do or explore exactly what people try to hold you from. If you are in your organization or university, I am sure most of the people will try to get through the firewall in some way or other to do exactly what you’ve been blocked from doing.
Some examples are, companies blocking, personal email services like gmail and yahoo. In most cases the mail services might not be not be blocked. However, there are social sites like orkut, myspace, face book and bebo which do get affected with the companies policy of blocking such sites. We are not going to discuss the moral or ethical connotation of this implementation.
So what is the solution when these sites are blocked in your organization and you want to use them. Please remember that your actions can put you in trouble because you’ll be violating the companies policy. And this post is just for educational and knowledge purpose. What we are going to see is how you can bypass the firewall to access sites like, orkut, myspace, facebook and many others.
There are services which are called as proxy and can help you bypass your companies firewall. Let’s see what proxy does. This is what wikipedia has to say:
In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) which services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client.
You can read more about proxies here.
So all you have to do is to use a proxy service to bypass your company’s corporate firewall. There are 2 ways of using proxy services.
- Web based proxies: These are very easy to use. You have to go to proxy website and just enter the website that you want to visit.
- Proxy Servers: In this method you have to use the IP address of an open proxy server. You can get a complete list http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html or by just searching for “Proxy Servers” in Google.

As I've seen on Digital Point Forum's proxy thread most proxy owners just try to make a buck with no intentions to steal your info. Most of the proxy websites look ugly because of ads. Ad networks don't pay much for ads placed on the proxy web sites so the website owners have to use several ad networks at a time. All these banners, pop ups and pop unders look really horrible but this is the only way to keep web proxy free for its users.
Vivek,
Good post!. However, We also have to mentioned that web/proxy sites like the one stated in the post are blocked on most enterprise and Country based URL filtering devies in a specific category. Even, open vpn sites are blocked since they provide the best masking of data transmission or evading through the available Internet stream over ssl/ssh based tunneling. The only best and smart way to get around a firewall or URL/content filtering devices is by hosting our own system outside the enterprise or Local ISP's network perimeter and tunnel to it with port forwarding. This will be a bit slow and not recommended for slow Internet connections because the encryption involved with the data payload.
