Useful article, you’re doing good work! I used to always use free proxies and other free tools to access blocked sites. However, a few months ago I’ve found out that my email was leaked by one of these free providers, this really made me reevaluate my choices, and I’ve opted to pay for a VPN from then on. After a lot of research I decided to go with Nord VPN, because it seemed like the best value for money.
But has there ever been a block site before cos me I have never come across anyone?
Yes, there are. You can’t visit some sites outside a particular region.
