How to unlock myspace
Posted in : Babble
Damn there's loads of sad souls in the world, I must get hundreds of search hits for variations of unblock myspace, hundreds. Why the hell would anybody want to unblock myspace? Personally I think that if you're blocked from myspace then someone somewhere is doing you a HUGE favour 
If you are one of the sad souls that is trying to unblock myspace then here's summat that might work. Every time you think of accessing myspace I want you to press ctrl + esc and then press the letter "u" twice in quick succession
The "myspace" aspect of this aside though, there's only two ways to unblock a website ( assuming it's some form of "parental control" or similar filter ). The first is to get the site removed from the filter, or added to the allowed list, and the other is to use a web proxy to bypass the filters. Now then, before all y'all start jumping up and down for joy at being given a solution to your problem you need to ask yourself a few questions ...... 1) Why is the site blocked ( pretty easy in myspace' case, it's because it's crap ) and 2) Do you really want to use a web proxy?
Risks of using anonymous proxy servers ( source )
In using a proxy server (for example, anonymizing HTTP proxy), all data sent to the service being used (for example, HTTP server in a website) must pass through the proxy server before being sent to the service, mostly in unencrypted form. It is therefore possible, and has been demonstrated, for a malicious proxy server to record everything sent to the proxy: including unencrypted logins and passwords.
By chaining proxies which do not reveal data about the original requester, it is possible to obfuscate activities from the eyes of the user's destination. However, more traces will be left on the intermediate hops, which could be used or offered up to trace the user's activities. If the policies and administrators of these other proxies are unknown, the user may fall victim to a false sense of security just because those details are out of sight and mind.
The bottom line of this is to be wary when using proxy servers, and only use proxy servers of known integrity (e.g., the owner is known and trusted, has a clear privacy policy, etc.), and never use proxy servers of unknown integrity. If there is no choice but to use unknown proxy servers, do not pass any private information (unless it is properly encrypted) through the proxy.
In what is more of an inconvenience than a risk, proxy users may find themselves being blocked from certain Web sites, as numerous forums and Web sites block IP addresses from proxies known to have spammed or trolled the site.
Maybe it's just better to leave it blocked huh?
