Access blocked orkut, gmail through opera mini simulator and WebToMail | Access banned sites without proxies

We have already written a lot more post on how can you access various blocked web site in your office, school or college. In countries like UAE and china a large number of websites like orkut, facebook, myspace and gmail etc.

I have seen lot of people using several proxies for accessing blocked web sites like orkut, gmail, myspace and facebook etc, all these proxies require the most crucial information i.e your email username and password which forms the basis of your online identity.

Your email id is always required when ever you sign up for any web service on the web or when you communicate via emails to other people.

It becomes a major security risk when you enter your username and password into those those proxies which let you access blocked web sites with some ads here and there, and when you get logged in through a proxy but you cannot perform every operation on the blocked web site like orkut, like you may not be able to scrap a friend, cannot accept a friend request etc.

A large number of organisation have adopted a high level of filtering including the word filter which works in way that it blocks any web page with a word orkut or proxy in it.
