China along with some Gulf Countries (including UAE) block sites which they feel might be inappropriate. Some offices and educational Institutes even block sites.
Here’s a new way to bypass the ban. This trick WILL work for sure.
I’ve posted about Accessing Blocked Sites in UAE before. But this time, Amit posted a trick which is really cool.
Opera mini is the new mobile browser for your mobile phones. Now they offer a new beta version, wherein we can try out how good the browser. This also is the place where we’ll play smart and open blocked sites.
To open any site, just pop in the URL and watch the magic. You can get started by placing the following in your browser’s address bar:
http://www.operamini.com/demo/?url=[Enter your URL] - example
The good part is that you can use your PC’s keyboard for navigation and controlling this simulator! If you use it often, you’ll get used to the small 200×200 screen like me.

Using VPN Connection to Bypass the Ban
One of the our reader, Ankur posted about using a VPN connection to bypass the censor and accessing the blocked sites. Some of the services are:
1. WITopia - personalVPN (paid)
2. HOTspot (I think works in USA only)
3. SecureIX (I tried this but I couldn’t connect to the server)
4. Hamachi (you need people who access all sites)
For a nominal fee, we can have a VPN for secure browsing. Can anyone try out and (or anyone who have used) tell how good it is?
Have fun!

I tried this today , after reading article on DI , but .. its very difficult to browse on a small screen .
^^
We’ll get used to it once we use get use extensively.
Yes, but works great for porn sites.
Nice find. But as Kanak said, browsing in small screen is a bit problem.
well, somehow I feel its not the best way of accessing the websites, but I’m sure something is always better than nothing!
^^
Yes, something is better than nothing! It works well, but only constrain is the lack of big screen.
I installed VPN and it connects but cant access any site after that. It never connects to the website not even the normal ones.As soon as VPN is disconnected u r able to connect to the normal ones.
Helppp!!!
^^
Are you talking about HotSpot shield? Maybe you should try it one more time and see if it’s able to connect.

It works fine. I’ve posted an article about that here: http://ashwinr.com/2007/07/06/.....es-easily/
This trick is not for mobiles (though we can use for that also) but for PC. Just open any sites with the format I mentioned.
