Online social networking sites like Myspace, Hi5 and Facebook are quite popular amongst the younger generation. These sites offer features like file-sharing, instant messaging or leaving comments for the user’s profile. A lot of schools and universities have blocked these websites to be accessed from their locations to restrict the students from logging in to these websites. But these websites have also proved to be beneficial in some aspects of business networking and coordinating while working on projects and socializing as a measure to relieve you from stress.

The tech-wizards came up with different solutions to this restriction. Proxy servers were created which are safe and reliable ways to bypass network filters and firewalls and let you access desired websites from blocked or restricted locations. They facilitate browsing the internet, downloading games and news, accessing online social networking websites and shopping sites, chatting, sharing videos, music and a lot more.

A simple way to unblock access to websites like Myspace is to use alternate web browsers like Opera or Mozilla Firefox. If the network filtering has been done using group policy settings for internet explorer, this is the simplest way to access the online social networking site and use of alternative browsers would enable you to access the desired websites.
