How to un-block Ethiomedia in Ethiopia

By Gabe of Seattle | September 26, 2006

Most people in Ethiopia use Internet from one source, Tele. So the government could simply be blocking the websites from Teles servers. Solving this problem is simple, we will use a proxy server to access ethiomedia.com. When we use a proxy server, the server will not recognize you as a computer user in Ethiopia and you can view the website. To do this though we need a proxy server, which we will talk about later, but first let me briefly explain to you what a proxy server is.

A proxy server is a computer that allows computers to get an indirect network connection to other networks. Your computer will connect to the proxy server, then it will ask for what ever it needs from the server you are trying to connect to, as an unknown ip. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. Sometimes the proxy may change your request a little but you should still be able to access what you need. Now how to get this proxy server?

Using a proxy server is simple; you can simply google unblocking proxy server or you just go to http://www.unblockthis.com. Once you are at this website, put in what website you want unblocked. That should unblock it. But maybe the government isn’t blocking the websites from Tele server.

Well if using the proxy server doesn’t work for you then it probably means that the government is using other methods. But don’t worry there are other solutions. I have made other urls that redirect you to ethiomedia.com. In other words its like ethiomedia.com is a body but the urls are different clothes. Here are some urls that I have made. Go ahead, and try them!
