Internet
Censorship is turning out to be one of the major problems in some parts
of the world, mainly China, Iran & Australia. They use some filters
to block specific information on the web from their citizens. Not just
countries, internet censorship is common in schools, colleges and work
places.
At TechPP, we have previously written many articles to help people
bypass internet censorship and
access blocked websites. Some of them are –
As always, I would like to tell you guys, there is no sure way to
bypass internet censorship, as the tricks/tweaks we suggest are only as
good as the intelligence and knowledge of the network administrator. The
latest tip is suggested by
Martin which involves usage of the
HTTPS Google Webcache extension for
Google Chrome, which currently breaks most filtering systems by linking directly to the https version of Google Cache results.
A search on Google not only displays the link to the websites that
are linked in the search results but also to cache results which are
stored copies of those websites on Google servers. The standard link to
those cache entries is a normal http link which is a very popular (and
hence known) method of bypassing internet censorship in China and
elsewhere. The https version, which one can test by simply adding the
s to
the url, does not seem to be blocked currently. The extension for
Chrome basically rewrites all Google Cache links so that they
automatically point to the https version.
It is very likely that those links will be added to the filter
eventually though. It should also be noted that this only works for
pages that appear in the search engine results.
