When you’re in your school computer class, have you ever needed to access a website, only to find it was blocked? Fear not, there are many solutions around this.
It depends on how your school filters web content. Many school boards only filter the main domain name, not the IP address. I’m not tech savvy; I don’t know how to figure out which methods are being used. Here’s a simple trick that’s worth a try:
Find yourself a URL to IP converter, like the one at Freelabs. Next, it is pretty straight forward: enter the domain name, ‘get IP info’, copy-paste IP to address bar, hit enter.
This doesn’t work for everyone, nor all websites, but it works for YouTube at my school.
Next, I’ll show you another way of getting around filters.
