How to bypass blocked website from your school/office

Our office or school normally will filter the content that deliver to or from us. It is to avoid us to access illegal websites or download illegal contents. Sometimes, even our Internet Service Provider install the filter to avoid access to certain website. So, i believe everyone will try some ways to bypass them, am i right?

Some people trying to use Proxy Server or VPN to bypass the filter. But, most of the free Proxy Servers are overloaded and it slow down the speed while VPN required monthly subscription. So, is there any other way to bypass the filter? Yes, it does. Thanks to BlogIsEverything, which provide an introduction about convert your URL to HEX code.

There are a few services which can provide conversion from text to hex:

   1. SwingNote @ http://www.swingnote.com/tools/texttohex.php
   2. Centricle @ http://centricle.com/tools/ascii-hex/

An example for the conversion:
Text: www.techsnack.net
Hex: %62%6c%6f%67%2e%74%65%63%68%73%6e%61%63%6b%2e%6e%65%74


Paste the Hex code in your browser and you will then being point to www.techsnack.net.

Note: I try to paste them in Firefox, but it returns the search result from Google. But it works fine for IE. I still haven’t try with other browsers, anyone willing to help me try on them?
