The international Quranic Center is extremely dismayed by the recent actions by some Gulf countries, including the governments of Saudi Arabic and Bahrain to block the center's website: www.ahl-alquran.com.  The center encourages the users inside these two countries and internet usurers who face censorship at large to read the general instructions below from wikihow on how to bypass blocking of websites. 

It worth mentioning that ahl-alquran website also has more than two thousand registered users who comment on the articles posted on the website and engage in lively discussions on daily basis. Right now the website has more than thirty thousand comments in the website. The result is that there is currently more than one hundred thousand visitors who read the website every month. The website is particularly well read in the Middle East, including countries like Egypt, Libya, Algeria, and Kuwait.

1.      Find a proxy or circumvention site. Sites such as https://www.proxy.org offer a way to bypass Websense by, for example, using a secure connection (note that the url begins with "https," not "http"). You can access the circumventor or proxy site, and then access blocked sites through that. Alternatively you can use a program called vpntunnel to run programs (like bittorrent or games like World of Warcraft etc) available from https://vpntunnel.com/

2.      Type the url you want to go to in the box on the site. Once you access the proxy site, enter the address of the site you want to go to in the box on the screen. If you're using vpntunnel, install and log in with the software.

o    Install a circumventor program on your home computer. At Peacefire.org you can download a circumventor program on your home computer so that you can access blocked sites at other locations by connecting to your home computer. Download a couple programs, and run the setup, and the program will give you a url you can use to access it from anywhere. Write down this url and carry it with you. Note: you don't download the programs onto the computer with the filter--you download them onto another computer that you can connect to from the filtered computer.

o    Enter the url for your home computer in the web browser on the filtered computer. When you're at a computer with a filtered connection (at work or at the library, for instance), simply enter the URL the circumventor program gave you, and you will be able to access blocked sites via your home computer. Note that this will only work if your home computer is on and connected to the internet.

         These are new created proxies (May 2008):

·         http://www.surfingstore.info/

·         http://freebrowse.info/

·         http://surfingtoday.info/

·         http://findwealth.info/

·         The way this works is that the proxy avoidance site is hosted on a non-filtered connection. The page is routed through that connection to your computer.

·         The sites referred to above are just two of many such sites available on the internet. You can search for more if you can't get those to work.

·         The proxy site may have options to block cookies, scripts, etc. You may have trouble accessing or displaying many sites if you have all of these blocks enabled, especially for scripts.

·         Websense can also be circumvented by using AOLOpenRide software. You'll need an AOL/AIM screen name and log in, but the OpenRide browser bypasses the WebSense filters.

·         This allows you to use games, downloads etc: In the Start Menu, go to Run and type "cmd" without the quotes. Press Enter. In the window that comes up, type "ping www.whateverwebsite.com" and press Enter. It will say "Pinging www.whateverwebsite.com [#.#.#.#] with 32 bytes of data." The numbers after whateverwebsite.com are the site's IP address. Enter these numbers, with the periods between them, in your browser's address bar. You will be able to access the page and all functionality will be normal. - Does not work with Websense. May work with other proxies.

·         Use the Google translation feature to function as a proxy. Type in this url "http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www..com". It uses Google to "bounce" the website, and since it moves through google it should function unless Google is blocked. This does not work with Websense and Google no longer allows English to English translations.
