How to bypass the Internet filter through a proxy

An Internet filter is software designed to control, filter, or block access to websites, services, and information online. The functioning of these filters is based on predefined criteria and rules to determine which websites, content, or services should be allowed or blocked. Key principles of Internet filtering include:

  • Categorization. Filters use databases that categorize websites and content into various groups, such as pornography, illegal substances, gambling, and social networks.
  • URL and keyword analysis. They check URLs and page content for keywords or phrases that match blocking criteria.
  • Blacklists and whitelists. Filters may employ blacklists to block certain sites and whitelists for permitted sites.

Internet content filters are utilized by educational institutions, corporations, enterprises, religious organizations, and even countries to restrict access to web resources. To circumvent these restrictions, users often consider methods like changing MAC addresses or using proxy servers. This article will specifically focus on bypassing Internet filters at schools, offices, or workplaces using proxies, as this method is relatively simple and effective. Using a proxy sets the IP address for the entire system, affecting all applications and programs, thereby enabling access to blocked websites from any browser. We will now delve into the step-by-step process of setting up a proxy server on various operating systems.

How to bypass the Internet filter on Windows through a proxy

To configure a private proxy server on Windows OS, follow these steps:
