Internet censorship is defined as the control , filtration and restriction on access to information on the Internet.
All of us have to experiences censorship on the Internet in varied formats at different points in our lives.
DOT has banned so many sites in India, recently it has banned many of the TORRENTS sites.
Doesn't matter, we are Indians. We did some JUGAAD anyhow managed to access such sites.
There are various ways to ACCESS BLOCKED WEBSITES. Here i am listing some of them, hope these will help you.
VPNs ( Virtual Private Networks) can also be used to bypass any blocking or censorship of websites that may have been done by your college or company's network.
One of my favorite Secure VPN service is HotSpot Shield . HotSpot Shield is a free VPN service that establishes an HTTPS encrypted VPN connection between your computer and their Internet Gateway, hence giving you full unrestricted to access to internet. In reality, you are using that secure encrypted connection to access blocked content on the Internet.
HotSpot Shield can be downloaded from http://hotspotshield.com . Once HotSpot Shield has been installed on your computer, you can launch it to tunnel all Internet traffic from your computer through secure HTTPS VPN service. No configuration or changing of settings is required.
