Developed by Blue Coat Systems, the Blue Coat WebFilter is security software that helps network administrators block malware and filter any type of Web content through strict policy controls. However, in some instances, users may encounter blocked websites that should not be restricted because they don't pose any danger or display any inappropriate content. In these types of scenarios, use a proxy site to bypass the Blue Coat WebFilter.

Step 2

Go to the URLHide Web page to bypass any filters originating from the Blue Coat WebFilter software (see Resources). URLHide is a free proxy that will deliver an unrestricted browsing experience without having to worry about Blue Coat WebFilter restrictions. URLHide keeps your browsing activities anonymous and its user friendly interface accesses blocked websites by retrieving the filtered information necessary and then displaying it on your screen through its server; therefore, you can access any site being restricted by the Blue Coat WebFilter as well as any other types of Internet restrictions. To access Web content using URLHide, input the Web address of the page you want to visit in the text field below where it says "Enter URL (e.g. google.com)" and click the "Go" button.

Web pages you can view through the GoodbyPass-Surfer proxy range from financial services like Forex and Option Trading, social networking websites like Youtube, Bebo and Facebook, as well as any online destination you like. To bypass the Blue Coat WebFilter, enter the URL of the site you want to view in the almost disguised text box displayed in the center of the page, and click the "Go" tab located next to the text box.
