Unblock Blocked Websites with two methods


Many workplaces and schools are cracking down on the websites and online services. Blocking access to social sites has been a common tactic. The most common websites that are blocked in schools include MySpace, Bebo, and Facebook.

There are however always legitimate reasons to bypass the internet filters and visit the blocked websites. The following methods will help you access blocked websites in school, college or your company.

Trick A: Using a web proxy to bypass restrictions. Proxies that focus on website browsing are called web proxies. A web proxy works by acting as a "middleman": it downloads the requested pages to its proxy server and in turn, you download the page, all images and other such objects from the proxy server to your browser, thus bypassing any filters and annoying firewalls.

Assban.com ( http://www.assban.com ) is a popular web proxy. You can search on Google for "myspace proxy" and find many other web proxies as well.

But chances are that your school administration has already blocked access to most web proxies as well. In that case, you have one more options:

Trick B: You can download Ultrasurf (http://www.ultrareach.com/company/download.htm ) and save it to a USB stick. UltraSurf is a green software, which means no installation process is needed nor system setting is required to change when using the software. UltraSurf implements almost all browser functions based on HTTP and user needs, such as browsing websites, login and posting on web forums, using Web mail, uploading and downloading data files, real-time audio, video and other multimedia programs, etc.

The more people are aware of these tricks, the more likely your network administrators will catch on and find ways to shut them down. So be sure not to let others know how to do these tricks. Accessing unauthorized websites using the above tricks may be considered a violation of school or work policies and might put you in trouble. Use them at your own risk.

How to Use Google Maps without the Internet (Offline)

Many of my blog readers ask the question that we like Google Map but sometimes we did not have internet access so how we can use Google map without the internet or offline. Read this complete tutorial and learn how we can use Google Map without the internet or how we can use Google Map offline.

With offline maps, you can download an area on Google maps and take it offline, this means you can use the navigate feature in the offline maps without having to connect to the internet. This is particularly useful if you are going aboard and don’t want to spend on cost of data connection.

So, here is how to use Google Maps offline in Android and iOS.

Google Maps

Offline Maps in Android:

Open the Google Maps app and then click on the three lines on the top. This will bring in the menu, you can also swipe from the left side. Under this menu, you will see the option “Offline areas”. Click on this and you now get a + sign at the bottom of the screen to add a new offline map.

The next step is to select the area to download, you can pan or zoom in or out the area in the box which is the actual area that will be downloaded. You can also see the size of the maps which will be downloaded and this changes based on the area you select for download.

Once the download is complete, you will see it under offline areas. Using the downloaded area, you can navigate without having to connect to The Internet.

Offline Maps on iOS:

In iOS, this feature is being rolled out and not all users might be able to use. The steps for downloading maps offline is similar to Android and you need to search the area, then swipe from bottom and click the download button.

You can also select the area manually.

Limitations of Offline Maps:

  • Offline maps can only be used for downloading smaller areas, which means you will not be able to download a big country as it might runs into several GB in size. Ideally, this feature is useful to download a city map
  • Maps downloaded will be stored for 30 days and after this, they are automatically deleted
  • If you are downloading multiple locations, make sure you have enough space on your phone to store it.

How To Increase Wi-Fi Signal Strength on Laptop

Today in this blog post “How to use MyPublicWifi” post my blog visitor asks question that gives me suggestions to improve or boost the strength of Wi-Fi signals on Laptop, so I decide that I need to write post on how to increase Wi-Fi signal strength on laptop or my laptop Wi-Fi signals are very poor how to improve it.




Nowadays all Laptop’s Wi-Fi is stronger than smartphone’s Wi-Fi radio. So, you will get better Wi-Fi signal and speed on Laptop. However, if the Wi-Fi network is really very weak, I recommend you to go near to the Wi-Fi network. If you are at the best place, and still not getting good results then follow these tricks and boost Wi-Fi signals. These tricks will surely boost your Wi-Fi Signal on Laptop.

Tip No. 1. Upgrade Your Wi-Fi Router

Recent laptops are using 802.11g or 802.11n Wi-Fi circuitry to efficiently utilize Wi-Fi networks. If your router is an 802.11b device, upgrade it so that it can match the speed of your laptop.

Tip No. 2. Use Wi-Fi Signal Repeater

To add more strength to your Wi-Fi signal, use Wi-Fi repeater (also called wireless amplifier or range expander). It get Wi-Fi signals from Wi-Fi routers and then retransmits it or throw it. Place your Wi-Fi repeater somewhere near the edge of existing signal to make the best use of the device. It will then rebroadcast the signal, covering other areas for the connection.

Tip No. 3. Replace Standard Router Antenna with Omnidirectional

The advantage of Omni antenna is to provide a signal in all direction. The directional signal allows you to target the location where you want to the signal.

Tip No. 4. Install External Wi-Fi Adaptor

Laptops adapters are good but external Wi-Fi adapters are great. If your laptop is old and so you’re not getting better Wi-Fi signal, disable built-in Wi-Fi and installing an external Wi-Fi adapter. External Wi-Fi Adapters have a large antenna and they use up-to-date technologies which can drastically improve Wi-Fi signal for your laptop.

Tip No. 5. Reposition Wi-Fi router

If possible, try to place your router at the center location, prefer a place where thick walls or obstructing furniture can’t congest your signal. Also, avoid placing your router or access point near to any metal surface, electronics that use signals (like Microwave, remote control doors, etc.). They interfere with a signal broadcaster.

Tip No. 6. Disable Network Hogs

Use task manager of any other program to check which apps are running in the background and using a network. Disable unused applications out of it so that your network speed and laptop’s performance both can be the boost.
