How to Completely Unblock FunBrain

The gaming website FunBrain hosts a collection of free-to-play online games for players of nearly any age. Because of parental controls and networking firewalls, the site or a specific version of the site may be blocked, preventing your computer from accessing the website's collection of games. If you want to play the games, you will likely need to turn off many networking settings, which will allow you to access the site but leave you more open to viral attacks.

Instructions

- 1
  Turn off any parental controls on your Web browser. Some Web browsers, such as AOL and Internet Explorer, have parental controls that allow you to limit the types of websites that can be visited on the computer. These settings generalize websites and prevent many from being accessed, even when they do not have harmful content.
- 2
  Stop any Web scanners you run on your computer. Many virus scanners have some type of Web protection included in its software that automatically scans and monitors the traffic coming to and from your computer. If you try to access a site the virus scanner believes is malicious, it can prevent you from visiting the site.
- 3
  Subscribe to a proxy service. Proxies allow you to visit a Web address from a different IP address, which is often the only way to access some sites, such as FunBrain, on networks whose control panel you do not have access to, such as on college campuses. These proxy services often charge a monthly fee to use, but will allow you to visit any website without any restrictions.
