If you are trying to play games at school or work, sometimes this can become difficult if the websites your are using become blocked. There are options though if you cannot access a certain website. In this article we will define what unblocked and blocked sites are and tell you what you can do about them
An unblocked game is a game on a network, usually a flash-based game, that the user can play. The website it is located on is not blocked by a firewall or website blocking software. Even if a game is unblocked, it can eventually become blocked.
Blocked games are not accessible by users on the network. The user will receive a message that tells them they cannot access the website. These are websites that the firewall or website blocking software will not allow the user to have access to.
A network administrator will typically block the sites using the firewall or website blocking software to keep users focused. If they are playing games or accessing social networking websites then they are probably not doing the work they are supposed to be doing.
Other reasons that a network may block the websites is due to viruses. Some websites are not safe and cannot be trusted. They can expose the network unnecessarily to viruses. Also accessing certain websites can cause excessive traffic on a network's bandwidth.
The easiest way to unblock a website is to talk to the network administrator. If you have a legitimate use for a website then they may unblock it for you. If you go this route, then the website becomes a legitimate one for students or workers to access on the network.
The paid proxy service is another route the user could try. It typically costs around $5 per month and works by changing the proxy information in the web browser. This option doesn't always work though and could get you in trouble depending on your network rules and policies.
In the end, it will be up to the users to abide the policies of the network. It is important that the user is reasonable about the time they spend playing games on a network at school or work. One option is that you could always actually do your work!
