How do unblockers work?
Unblockers are like a gateway that sit between the computer you're on and the site you're trying to visit. The unblocker goes to the site instead of you, downloads the page, and forwards it to you. So the site you want to be on never sees your IP. So in effect you are browsing websites in an indirect manner. Internet filters only think you are accessing the unblocker, not the real site.
