Access blocked websites in your college/office Wi-Fi

I got few mails asking for some tricks to access restricted websites in college or office Wi-Fi without using proxy. Generally, if you use proxy to access some website then it might take you some more time to load the page than usual, but a VPN connection rather will improve your speed. In this article I will be helping you to set up a free VPN account for unlimited access to often blocked websites like Torrents, Facebook and YouTube. And then you have some more plus points like you can manage your downloads, that is, you can pause them (if you are under a Wi-Fi network then you won’t be able to pause your downloads, well, in most of them) and you can also be able to perform video call using Skype or some other alternate service.

Note that the password will be changed every few hours so you have to visit the VPN service provider’s webpage for the password and reconnect using your new VPN credentials.

There are many VPN service providers, just Google them and you’ll find an impressive list. Well, I usehttp://www.usafreevpn.com and I will be using it in this article for the demonstration.

Follow the below steps to step up your VPN.

1. Go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center and click Set up a new connection or networkunder Change your networking settings.

2. Select Connect to a workplace under Choose a connectionoption and click ’Next’.

3. Select ’No, create a new connection’ and click ‘Next’.

4. Now click ‘Use my Internet connection (VPN)’.

5. Enter the domain name at the Internet address field as provided in the VPN details of the VPN service provider and theDestination name can be of your choice.

6. Now you are almost done. Go to http://usafreevpn.com or some other VPN service provider site of your choice, note down the credentials.

7. Connect to your network under Networks tab.

You are done now…! You can enjoy surfing restricted websites at unlimited bandwidth.

Note: Do not relay on this VPN for hacking purposes it might get you behind bars.
