How to Check Hotmail Behind a Proxy

When you use a network to access the Internet, the network administrator can decide what sites you can and can't access. If the administrator doesn't want you to access your email account, he can block your IP address for opening the site. However, if you use a proxy server, you can hide your IP address from the administrator's firewall, allowing you to access your email account, such as Hotmail.

Step

Launch the Internet browser on your computer, and make your way to a proxy site. Some of the proxy sites you can visit are "Proxy.org," "Proxysite.org" and "BestProxySite.com."

Step

Type in Hotmail.com into the search bar of the proxy site. If Hotmail does not load up, try a different proxy until it appears on the screen.

Close out any advertisements that may load, and log into your email account. More than likely, more advertisements will load up when you open your account.

Step

Click "Inbox" to view all of the new messages you have in your email. Once you are done, click "Sign Out" in the upper right corner of the screen.
