Internet censorship in the world: how people bypass restrictions

Post cover: Internet censorship in the world: how people bypass restrictions
This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
The World Wide Web has long ceased to exist as a platform with unlimited freedom for users. Over its existence, it has changed significantly, and many restrictions and blocks have appeared. However, users actively seek opportunities and tools to bypass such restrictions, such as additional blocks.

Among the available tools, private mobile proxies should be highlighted. But before understanding the advantages of such a tool, it is worth learning why it is necessary to bypass such blocks. Let's try to delve into both questions in more detail.

Why it is necessary to bypass blocks on the Internet

The question is quite logical: if someone has imposed restrictions, it was likely necessary. However, in some cases, the restrictions do not concern access to critically important information, but exclusively blocking users from specific countries' IPs. In such cases, access to the necessary data can be obtained.
Very often, such restrictions are bypassed by marketers and analysts. They need to study the market before entering it. The presence of restrictions does not allow for a full study of potential competitors, their pricing, and properly assess their own readiness for such a step. For such specialists, it is important to understand which tools they could use to bypass such blocks.
Today, there are many different ways to bypass internet censorship blocks. However, three of them are considered the most popular and effective:
  • TOR browser;
  • VPN connections;
  • Proxy servers.
Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. And before starting to use them, it is worth thoroughly studying the pros and cons of working with each of the tools.

TOR

Essentially, this is a browser with additional capabilities for encrypting data. If a user does not want to install additional hardware, it is sufficient to work through TOR. This browser redirects requests through several encrypted channels. Thus, the user's data will be altered, and their IP address will be distinctly different from the original.

Specialists working with the browser can specify the region from which the final IP should originate. However, the speed of data processing when using TOR may decrease. Also, work must be done exclusively through this browser, and it will not be possible to compensate for the speed of data processing. Additionally, not everyone likes TOR as a browser, so it is not always used.

VPN

This tool is probably known to all active internet users. With its help, one can quickly change the user's address and specify where the outgoing connection should be. VPN can be installed both on the gadget as a whole and connected to a specific browser. So this is a quite convenient option that many analysts and marketers use.
The biggest drawback of working through a VPN is the overall reduction in information processing speed. Pages will load more slowly when processing requests. In the case of analyzing competitors' pricing, pages are overloaded with product photos. So sometimes one has to wait more than a minute. This significantly lowers the speed of analysis from the specialists' side. Therefore, experienced analysts use other options to bypass blocks.

Proxy servers

One of the best tools for bypassing censorship on the internet. User requests go to a server that has a real mobile IP from a neutral country. This way, quick access to the necessary information can be obtained. It is especially good to work with proxy servers that provide IP addresses from countries where market entry is planned.
This tool is more reliable and does not negatively impact the speed of request processing. That is why this tool is used most often.

Where to find reliable proxies for bypassing blocks
