Title: Unblocking Internet Censorship in Belarus: A Guide to Accessing Banned Sites
If you're tired of the censorship game in Belarus, this guide is for you! Since December 19, 2014, several websites have been restricted, including Charters, Belarusian Partisan, Prokopovi.ch, Solidarity, BelaPAN, and Naviny.by. But fear not, there are numerous ways to bypass these blocks and access your favorite sites without breaking a sweat.
Browse Economically with Magic in the Pipes
Who said you need a high-speed connection to browse the web in Belarus? Once popular browsers like Opera and Yandex offer magical traffic compression features that save megabytes on limited tariffs and access blocked sites. You can also try the Holla extension on Firefox, Chrome, and even Internet Explorer for an extra layer of freedom.
Anonymizers: The Great Big Escape
For the unlucky ones who can't install another browser or extension, anonymizers are here to rescue! Use sites like Proxfree.com, Comeleo.ru, or hide.me to access blocked resources in stealth mode. While the speeds might not always be satisfying, you won't need to install a thing!
Tor: For the Extra Adventurous
If you're searching for complete online anonymousity, Tor is your best bet. This "onion router" encrypts your signals multiple times and hops them through various servers to guarantee your anonymity. But be prepared for low speeds and unstable connections.
VPN: The Gold Standard for Online Freedom
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are the heroes of online freedom. They grant you access to unblocked content by routing your data through a network not restricted in your country. Free VPN options like FrootVPN, VPNBook, or OpenVPN are available, with more affordable options like prostovpn starting at around $1 a month.
Social Media: The Digital Watering Hole
Even if a site is blocked or experiencing high traffic, you can still find updates on its social media platforms, such as VKontakte, Facebook, and Twitter. Don't forget to subscribe to your favorite publications for timely updates!
Secure Communication: Protect Your Digital Self
Staying secure online is crucial when discussing internet restrictions. Messengers like Telegram and Viber offer strong privacy features that make them almost impossible to hack. With Telegram, for instance, no one has managed to claim the $300,000 reward for hacking its founder's account, and Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko even conducts negotiations using it!
