The Internet is a digital world full of content that spreads across all countries. Content can be found in any language, format and according to the considerations of the authors or editors of the network..

However, depending on where we are, when browsing with a search engine and entering a web page, we may see messages that indicate that the web is prohibited or blocked in the region. And it can be quite frustrating if the website you want to access contains the information we are looking for after a long search.

This occurs mainly because there are websites that have access settings. In such a way that only those sessions that enter with IP and certain locations can see the content. 

It can also happen that the pages are blocked due to political restrictions or because they contain material that is not suitable for the public..

Some of the most blocked websites are those that contain illegal downloads, such as torrent; there are those restricted for speaking ill of political parties and others that infringe copyright and copyright.

This is one of the censorship strategies that countries carry out to reduce piracy, but also to improve the image of their politicians or any other important purpose. 

When these problems occur, the best way to fix them is through the use of a VPN or proxy. They are the fastest and safest methods to be able to jump the blockages that we may have. However, there are other ways that you can try that don't take long to set up:

Use a VPN

Although we already mentioned it in the previous paragraph, it is worth explaining..

The VPN is a software that is used to encrypt online traffic, in such a way that it is more difficult to track where an IP comes from or where a website is being accessed.

There are a large number of VPN connections on the market, some free and others in which it is necessary to pay a monthly fee. Those for payment have servers in various parts of the world, so being in the USA you can access a server in Italy and enter the pages of this country without any problem. 

The ones that are free usually tend to steal important information from those who use them. Also, they constantly collapse due to the large number of people using them at the same time.

Access with IP instead of domain

When trying to access a web page we are actually entering an IP where the site and all the content we see is located.

And since most of the blocks are made by DNS , it is possible to enter restricted sites if we know the IP address. For that, it is necessary to enter the command prompt and type "ping www.webname.com" without the quotes and press enter. You just have to copy the address that generates you and paste it in the search engine as you would with a URL.

You must bear in mind that internet providers also block in this way, so you would have to use the first option we discussed, proxy or even view the web with Google's cache.

The Google translator

It may sound a bit foolish, but this method turns out to be more effective than expected.

By placing the blocked URL in the translator and letting it translate it, it will result in another link that in most cases will not have the restrictions of the original, so if you click, you should be able to access it without any problem.

It should be noted that in many cases it does not work, but it can be a "glitch" that benefits us.

These three methods will allow you to access restricted websites from the country in which you are located. 

You should keep in mind that many of these restrictions are due to the fact that many sites are not secure or contain information that not everyone should see.

In addition, many of the free programs to bypass the restrictions do not deliver the functions that they promise. This is because sometimes what they are looking for is to affect the user. Therefore, it is better to avoid them.
