Whether this works or not would depend on how complex a firewall your office has… ‘cos i realised that sometimes, even if your office firewall blocks websites like www.ebuddy.com, or www.iloveim.com, or webmessenger.msn.com, if u key in the IP add of the URL (instead of keying in the URL address) in the browser, u might still be able to access the page.
A possible reason for this is that some companies may be using a simple web filter that checks the DNS (Domain Name Server) and blocks “prohibited” sites from there. If u ask me, i think that’s pretty dumb lah… since u can get around it very easily! Whatever the case, i don’t care. Haha. My end purpose is just to get to the website.
In case u’re wondering how to get the IP address of the URL u want to access, go to Run, key in “ping www.url-u-want-to-access.com -t” and hit Enter. U will get something like 165.11.22.33. Key those numbers that appear in your browser and voila!
If all else fails… u can still use those IP hiders… wahahaha.
