When I access the internet, which I pay for, I want to be able to experience the World Wide Web in its entirety.

A number of tricks and tips are available regarding accessing blocked sites and bypassing any firewalls. In this guide I will show you some of the best tools available that will allow you to access any site, regardless if your country ISP or network firewalls block them.

UltraSurf

UltraSurf is the product from UltraReach which fights against Internet censorship. UltraSurf allows users living in strict countries with heavy censorship to visit public web sites around the world freely and safely. It allows users to freely surf just as they would regularly, while it browses for the fastest proxy servers.

FreeGate provides an internet client software which is fast and secure. FreeGate allows users to internationally access the web with as much speed as their local sites. It does not need any installation and will not change your system settings. FreeGate works synergistically with DynaWeb, similar to a proxy network system using p2p.

Garden GTunnel

GTunnel is an application for Windows that works as a local SOCKs or HTTP proxy server. After placing the settings to GTunnel in your browser and other applications which use internet, your traffic will be run through GTunnel and its proxy server farm before reaching the intended destination.

Jap

Jap allows users to surf the internet unobservably and anonymously. Typically, whenever a computer user wants to access a website, your traffic will request directly from your computer to its destination. JAP forces any traffic you generate to take a detour, making you connect to some intermediary sites called Mixes. JAP uses a set of sequence for the aforementioned mixes. These sequences of different mixes are called Mix Cascades. Users are allowed to choose from the variety of mix cascades available.
