If it is I don't get it, as when using mowser blogspot blogs don't get blocked, yet the word blogspot is still in the URL Thanks Pascal,

How does this blocking happen, is it when it see’s a particular word appear in a URL?

If it is I don’t get it, as when using mowser blogspot blogs don’t get blocked, yet the word blogspot is still in the URL

A proxy can have other functions as well, such as passing through and even anonymizing your traffic, and that's what I was referring to... In your case, you bypass the filter function of your company proxy by using other proxies on the web (mowser etc...), whose original intent is nog anonymising traffic but making html readable in Bitty Browser or mobile devices. Services like anonymouse.org or anonymizer.com have as single goal passing through traffic without revealing your ip address and other details to the destination site. Because these services are a popular way of circumventing company filters (by company proxies), most of the time they're blocked as well...

Same with Facebook, I can get to the Facebook homepage...problem is that when I login in, it fails and asks me to enable cookies, but they are already enabled. That service you shared is blocked for me, so far the mobile browser is my best option. How do those proxy services work, do they try and trick the proxy and bypass it? For others some other mobile browsers are: IYHY http://www.iyhy.com/ Skweezer http://www.skweezer.net/ Pascal,

One I frequently use is anonymouse.org, e.g. : http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2007/05/09/how-to-read-a-blocked-url/ BTW: strictly speaking, the domain is in the url here (in the request parameter) but that's no different for the phonifier frame in the bitty browser.
