The hack I’ve been using for years is just to use an archive site.
Just copy the URL of the blocked web page, and head over to a site like:
and call up the archived version of the page. That clears nearly all web blocks. The Wayback Machine over at Internet Archive also works a lot of the time, though not as regularly as other archive sites. I’ve found that archive.li or archive.ph nearly always work.
BTW, the power of archive tools to eliminate barriers to viewing current websites always puts me in mind of an old Isaac Asimov short story, “The Dead Past.” Scientists invent a “chronoscope” to view the past. They want to view historical events, to find out what really happened in places like Ancient Carthage…but they don’t realize the consequences of what their device can do:
"Now you three know a century . or a little more is the limit, so what does the past mean to you? Your youth. Your first girl. Your dead mother. Twenty years ago. Thirty years ago. Fifty years ago. The deader the better. But when does the past really begin?”
He paused in anger. The others stared at him and Nimmo stirred uneasily.
"Well,” said Araman, "when did it begin? A year ago? Five minutes ago? One second ago? Isn’t it obvious that the past begins an instant ago. The dead past is just another name for the living present. What if you focus the chronoscope in the past of one-hundredth of a second ago? Aren’t you watching the present? Does it begin to sink in?”
