How to Unblock Your Favorite Gaming Websites

January 18, 2019 Posted by Abigail Massimo Editorial 2 Comments

It’s common for online visitors to look for different ways to bypass filters on certain websites when they are on break. Taking this step is the surest way to enjoy your favorite games and watch movies. Organizations and government also censor content and monitor the online activities of individuals. This may make it difficult to stay in touch with the people that matter in your life and follow up on some important projects. Check out some of the ways to unblock your favorite gaming websites.

  • VPN software

Online visitors use Surfshark to unblock websites and enjoy a wide range of benefits. Using a VPN software will give you the protection you desire whether you’re at a library, workplace or hotel. In addition, it has the capacity to render the efforts of organizations and online stores that want to track you useless. The risks of hacking can be minimized when you’re using public Wi-Fi. Although free proxy solutions exist, they are not 100% safe.

  • URL shortener

A URL shortener can help you to shorten the URL of the particular site that is blocked. Once you get to the website, copy and paste the shortened version of the URL into your browser. It’s better to look for another option if using a URL shortener fails to work.

  • IP address

Obtaining the IP address of any sites involves taking advantage of the Windows Command Prompt or any reliable online service. These steps are only applicable when it’s only the URL of the site that is blocked. Truth be told, some sites may hide their IP address and it’s imperative to try other means. An IP address can allow you to access sites that were previously restricted on different platforms. This is an ideal approach if you want to be private about your online activities.

  • Proxy websites

Users are often restricted from accessing personal email, social media and other sites in a professional setting. There is no need to worry about this issue anymore. Online visitors have the opportunity to use proxy websites to unblock their favorite on the internet. You will enjoy an open online experience and it will be difficult to track your geographical location and IP address. Avoid choosing a proxy website that contains tons of ads because they are not safe.

  • Extensions

Extensions provide another means to bypass censorship and access sites, especially social media platforms and video streaming sites. You will need to install the extension on browsers such as chrome browser and play engaging games.

  • Google Translate

The government and organizations rarely ban Google translate. This is because they assume that no one can use it to access blocked sites. It will help you to change the website into a different language. A translated version will be sent to you later on. It’s a fast solution that doesn’t involve visiting the site directly. You can also consider other video game translation services apart from Google Translate. A typical example is the Bing translation service.

    You can also use a VPN to change your Google Play store location. I did it with ExpressVPN.

    Woah I’ve never heard about Google Translate solution. I will have to test it out. I’ve read that Surfshark article back when I found it on Reddit before traveling to China. I got Surfshark after that and it worked great during my trip. I kept the subscription even after coming back to US and use it everyday for general security and accessing streaming services such as Netflix and BBC. So far so good. I trust it way more than the free service that I’ve used before.
