Unblock any website with free browser testing services

By HideIP Admin | Published: June 13, 2009

The unblocking method I am going to explain is very simple and effective, but quite limitted. It does only allow you to see the blocked page of a blog or site without beeing able to perform any action on that page (clicks, scrolls, etc). Plus you need to know the exact URL of the page you need to unblock.

There are a lot of sites that offer browser testing services. That means that they make screenshots of a web page in different browsers. This is especially useful to web developers that are able to see how the pages that they have created look in different browsers. As you probably know there are significant differences between the way browsers render page content.

Now, these services can be used to unblock any site. As the testing computers are located in the US (most of them) they are able to access any page without problems. So if you are located in China and you want to see a Flickr photo you’ll be able to do it by using these services.

How to unblock a page/site using a browser testing service

First you have to find a browser testing service. You can Google for “browser test” or try BrowserShots.org. It’s very simple and easy to use.

The next step is to type in or paste the URL of the page you want to unblock. After that go to the bottom of the page and select None. Then go and check Chrome 2.0. You need to do that in order that your page be “tested” only once.

After you press Submit you’ll be redirected to a page where a screenshot of the page will be shown after a while. Here is how a screenshot of How-to-hide-ip.info looks like:

To sum up, this method is efficient in unlocking sites and pages you are not allowed to see, but it can not be used to get access on forums, Facebook or MySpace.
