Blocking access to undesirable websites is common in a number of countries, but China and Saudi Arabia are two countries which have extended greater censorship over the Internet than most other countries. When talking about Saudi Arabia, most of the websites which are blocked include politics, women, religion and even health related sites. Skype is perhaps the most famous blocked site in The Middle East. In China, most of the major social networking sites, porn, anti communist/socialist propaganda and of course free Tibet/Taiwan independence sites are blocked. The most famous blocked sites in China are Facebook and YouTube.
Other sites which are blocked in various countries around the world include Myspace, Twitter, Bebo, Photobucket, Youtube, Vimeo, Wikipedia, Linked In, Flikr, Picasa, The BBC, and many more. Although it is possible to do without poking your friends and keeping up on international news, its convenient, fun, and many times important to us to keep up on current events or keep in touch with family and friends from overseas.
Internet censorship is not limited to power-crazy governments and 3rd world countries, and there are many more websites that students and employees do not have access to. If you are one of them and are looking for sites that unblock other sites, then read on!
It's kind of a funny phrase, "sites that unblock other sites", but that's just what web based proxies are – a websites you access in order to unblock another site you can't connect to. When you searched for the term"sites that unblock other sites", you were probably looking for a web based proxy – the official term. While there are other ways to change your IP address and access restricted websites, web based proxies are the type which you can access directly from your Internet browser and require no installation. If you want to look into IP changing tools that can be installed, you should read more about virtual private networks.
To use a web based proxy, you just type a URL in the area provided on the proxy site. The network that you belong to will check against all the URLs which are banned. Most of the time the URL of the proxy server website may not be blocked. In case it is, its easy enough to sign in again and assign yourself a new IP that's not blocked.
By masking your IP with that of the proxy server's IP address, you'll be able to unblock sites like Facebook, YouTube, Gmail, and others.
But, where do you find sites that unblock other sites? In other words, how is it possible

It was not hard to break the firewall of China to access my favorite sites – not just YouTube. Did you know that Flikr is blocked now too? And even some of my friends blogs from back home – just because of their association with Google..jpg)
