Beware the dangers unblock MySpace

With more and more libraries, schools and businesses, blocking MySpace, what’s a MySpace junkie to do? Well there are ways of accessing MySpace on computers where it is blocked, but beware, it could be extremely dangerous.

With a circumventor or proxy server you type in the URL you would like to visit, but instead of the web site appearing in its own Window, it appears as content in the proxy server’s window. As far as the computer is concerned, it’s as though you’re visiting the proxy web server site, not the blocked site.

I had a look at a number of proxy web servers including Vtunnel, Poxy v1, and ProxySpin.com.

The big problem with these sites is that if they are run by unscrupulous web masters, they could be used to steal your login password. For that reason, while you could use these kinds of sites to view MySpace, I don’t recommend that you actually log into your account.

The other problem is that these sites can get blocked as well. And if you a site such as Proxy v1 starts appearing on the network logs, you can be sure that the network administrator will soon start blocking it. Some administrators block all sites containing the term network. Having said that, typing “MySpace proxy server” into Google brings up hundreds of alternatives.
