A new interesting video, go to VKontakte and find that your favorite social network is blocked... What to do?

Don’t be upset, everything can be fixed, and it’s not difficult at all. Let's look at the situation when VKontakte was blocked at work, how to get around, and what to do with it?

First of all, you need to understand that if you can access the VKontakte website itself, but a message like “Your account has been blocked” is displayed, then access from your work computer to the social network is still possible. In this case, the reason for the blocking needs to be clarified with VKontakte technical support; perhaps your account was hacked or it was blocked for viruses. However, if there is absolutely no access to the Vkontakte.ru site, but there is normal access to other sites on the network, access to the site is apparently blocked at work by the corporate system administrator. But even in this case, there are several working methods on how to bypass such blockings and, albeit secretly, use your page, read your favorite public pages, your news, or watch videos completely fully.

VKontakte blocked at work

So, you managed to determine the cause of the breakdown, that is, simply blocked VKontakte at work, for reasons only your employer can understand. There are several methods to bypass the blocking; if used correctly and wisely, our VKontakte will become accessible again.

1 Method. Anonymizers.

The method is to use special anonymizer services. Having visited such sites, you can enter the address of any blocked site of interest, for example, VKontakte, and it will open in a window on this site. The principle of operation is such that the server of the anonymizer site is not blocked by your system administrator and it is available at work. First, this service downloads the VKontakte page to its server, and then transfers it to your work computer. It turns out that you surf VKontakte simply through an intermediary, and in most cases anonymously. The system administrator will think that you are visiting some work-related site.

Here are some examples of well-known anonymizers, such as:

Let's go to the last service on the list. We see that the page will regularly update the list of VKontakte mirrors with a completely different domain name. Thus, your system administrator will not guess which resource you are visiting, especially since the names of the same mirrors do not appear in the logs for a long time.

The disadvantages of this method include the danger that lurks on such resources. The fact is that your account access data can be stolen by attackers, so use only trusted resources.

3 Method. Proxy.

Using a proxy server to bypass VKontakte blocking is the most advanced and reliable method. Proxy servers can be either paid, highly stable with high traffic throughput, or free, with less stability and speed, but this is not necessary. There are many resources on the Internet where you can regularly search for new proxy server addresses.

Setting up your browser to work through a proxy is very simple. Let's look at the example of the Mozilla FireFox browser.

• go to mozilla settings,
• find the item “Additional”,
• Go to the “Network” tab and click “Configure”.

Done, now your browser will make requests to the proxy server, which in turn will contact the VKontakte website and transmit information through the reverse chain. A tricky bypass and it looks like you are logging into VKontakte from something other than your work computer.

Thus, we looked at several ways to behave cunningly but wisely in a situation if VKontakte access is blocked at work.

There are also ways to install additional software on your computer, such as anonymizer programs. However, if the employer is so serious about blocking access to social networks, then taking risks with installing specialized programs for such access is a very risky business. And most likely, the system administrator on work computers often deprives you of administrator rights, so that it is impossible to install third-party software.

In any case, don’t be upset, there is a way out of any situation! Did you manage to bypass the ban? Tell your friends about this article.
