depending on how well theyve blocked the access and which sites youre accessing, this may not completely work. but its worth a shot!

2 other ways: 1. Use a Web Proxy (They may have blocked all Proxies, but its worth a shot), just google proxy or use www.kproxy.com 2. Find the IP of the website using www.selfseo.com (Scroll down, on the left, under Internet Tools Find IP address...) and enter the IP into the address bar.
