A Guide To Bypass Internet Filters

Lately as we have seen many Governments have started slowly filtering internet with "undesirable" content. A sure way to gain public support by the Government is to state that these measures are block child pornography because no-one wants child pornography, its bad, never mind that such material is maintained in "closed circles" and a person would have to be actively pursuing access to it in order to obtain it which really nullifies any reasoning for the filters in the first place. The sort of material that the government is proposing to ban (child pornography, depictions of sexual violence and the like) isn't kept on websites for long periods of time. Many of the sites appear and disappear in hours - they are likely travelling salesmen that stop for a short time to sell something and then move on. Government knows about this but all this hue and cry is not to censor CP but free speech and ideas as lately the MSM is not as effective in spreading Govt. propaganda as before.

The MSM and Govt. have been spearheading war on Internet and few Govt. have already started imposing filters such as:

*Australian government to introduce Internet filter

*New Zealand implements country-wide government internet filter

*Venezuelan president calls for Internet regulation

I am sure slowly more governments will follow suit and restrict the internet. There are few easy steps to bypass this filtering. Of course, if you use those techniques to access content that’s outright illegal, you shouldn’t be surprised if the police come knocking. But given the high likelihood that content will get misclassified, either through human error or deliberate political attempts to block what’s seen as undesirable material, these kinds of tactics are bound to become more common.

Bypassing Method
The filter works by simply blocking access to sites that are on a government blacklist. That blacklist will be a secret until the next time it's leaked (the original blacklist was leaked almost as soon as it was created! Here is the wikileaks link which is banned in Australia, naming websites which are already banned as of 2009. ). Now, I've noticed a lot of people have been saying that there are other ways to bypass web filtering, and there are. I am only mentioning the best method I know. Others you might want to try are:

Method 1# Some sites will be easily opened. Simply Google for something that's on the blacklist and rather than opening the link to the search result click the "Cached" link. This will direct you to a copy of the content that's stored on Google's servers as part of their index. Somehow, I doubt that the Australian government is going to block Google.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2#Alternately, you can sign up for one of the hundreds of free or cheap VPN services that are available. These create a secure connection between you and a proxy server that collects the content for you and sends it to you. The connection is encrypted and inaccessible to the government.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 3#This one, as far as I know, will never be stopped.

in your command prompt, type

ping hackthissite.org

or anything else you wanna visit. Now you should have a load of info, including delay times and, most importantly, an IP address for the website. Simply type this IP address into the address bar, preceded by http://, and you'll be able to access the page!

For example: 197.57.189.10... etc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 4#Using a translator, like Altavista's Babel fish, to translate the page from japanese of something to english. This will bypass the filtering and won't translate the page, since it's already in English.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 5#Use a proxy. I recommend Proxify.com but there are thousands of them available just google it.Another great tool is this jeays.net...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 6#Another simple method which works with many filters is adding https instead of http. I dont know whether this will work on govt. filter or not, but what the hell just try it out.

Example:
facebook.com...

and

https://facebook.com

The difference is that the second one contains an S in the http segment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 7#There are few other methods too. I will simply post their links here since the data is too large:

This article from Boing-Boing have some excellent links and sources to bypass the filters - Boing Boing's Guide to Defeating Censorware

The Govt. of Fiji blocked some websites and he people there have been using this website to gain access: www. L i n k I t .free.fr

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method 8#There are free Internet Filter softwares available too, however, I have never tried them myself so cannot confirm how they work.

Method 9#Simple method: Mods please note cannot include sources below due to privacy concern.

HOW TO BYPASS URL FILTERING:

This tutorial will show you how to bypass URL filtering.

*Note, this method does not work with Internet Explorer (and if you are using internet explorer i would suggest upgrading to Firefox)

Firstly, find the Ip address of the website you would like to access:
(I will use www.google.ca... as our example.) You can do so very easily by going into CMD and typing: ping google.ca

1) Google.ca IP = 74.125.91.104

Take notice that there are 4 different numbers each separated by a period.
Convert each number into an 8 digit binary value. You can do so by using the windows calculator, setting it to scientific, and then pressing the DEC option. Type in your number (74) then press the BIN option and it gives you the 8 digit binary value. Now record this value and continue this process with the other 3 numbers.

2) 01001010 01111101 01011011 01101000 (This is the binary values of the above IP)

The next step is simple. Take the above binary values and convert that into a 32-digit value. Notice how there are 8 digits in each binary value. Well 4*8 = 32. Simply remove the spaces from the above number and you get your 32 digit value.

3) 01001010011111010101101101101000

Now we are at the final step. To access your blocked website, you must convert the 32 digit value into a decimal value. This mean that you will need to turn the number above into something that looks like 123,456,789 (just and example) The converted number does not need to be a specific length.

4) The number you get when you convert the 32-digit value is 1249729384.

If you have done this correctly, go to your web browser and in the address field type in 1249729384... It should take you to google.ca

PLEASE NOTE:
The last step is the most complicated because it is very hard to find a reliable online binary to decimal convertor. I would suggest researching on your own and playing with windows scientific calculator. The above address field may not work but this methodology of URL filtering is still valid.

COMMON ERRORS:
-Using Windows Explorer
-Using an a crappy online convertor
-Typing Errors and deleted numbers accidently.

* Note another method to find IP address is using this website www.selfseo.com...

Hope the above information helped to some extent.

Last but not least

Protest
It is incredibly important that everyone should protest against this stupid, ineffective waste of taxpayer dollars. Not only is the scheme trivially easy to bypass, it will be open to abuse. Perhaps not by the current government but laws don't expire at each election.

Imagine if Australia or any country engages in an unpopular war (Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq?) and footage, stories and images come out of those places that embarrasses the government. It's conceivable that they could use this filter to attempt to block access to information.

well, you wont be able to get the website ip address since they will probably block it

(when u try to ping the website, your DNS server wont be able to return the ip address, so you wont have it) and even if you have the ip address, they could block the access

so, the only way to access would be thought a VPN service, a proxy, or whatever

The internet is certainly being managed by the NWO more and more. One of the most important exposes on the Legal System was by Marvin Bryer. He was a computer programmer and in that sense "insider" with the slush funds of the Judges and courts. There is still some information out there under his name. But all sites that carried books or video of seminars seem to either be rebranded or when you go to order they just dead end. He had a book "disqualify your judge" that is no where to be found. This is what is known as a "high profile target". His information was so significant as an insight into the entire CriminalS Justice scam that they seem to have gone to great lengths to bury the information. Anyone finding the book or video with a working order form, let me know.
