Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

5 ways to access blocked sites

5 ways to access blocked sites

If you have limited access to some sites at work, school, college, or anywhere else, you can use these tricks to access them.

5. Web Proxy

The proxy will serve as an intermediary between your and the server computer. I wrote more about Proxy HERE.

4. VPN

Another, more efficient, way to mask an IP address. If the Proxy doesn't work, try a VPN. I wrote about him too, so take a look.

3. IP instead of domain

Sometimes only the domain is blocked, but the site can be accessed directly via its IP address. To find out the IP address of a site, open CMD (Run> Cmd> enter) and type "ping www.domain-someone.something" (without quotes). Or through a site, e.g. here.

2. Edit the Proxy in the web browser itself

Simply install some Proxy add-on for the web browser you are using and enter the IP and Port of a Proxy server. You can find IP and Port on several sites, and HERE  again, you can see how to install and configure the plugin.

1. Google Translate

This way served me the most personally. This will not only work if all of Google and its servers and services are blocked. So, open Google Translate, select the language in which the site is (eg Serbian) and the language you want to translate (eg Croatian, because it can not be the same), and click on the link that appeared in the translation. Not all elements that may appear in some of the site's content are blocked by Google.
