Hi, My Netgear firewall is blocking facebook and google. The only two websites i have used on my laptop. I can get on other websites but as soon as i try to go onto facebook or google a message says 'Web Site blocked by netgear firewall'. Thanks!

You should login admin (gateway) panel of the firewall with username and password. Then you can remove any restrictions you wish. If you cant access the admjn panel you can use a vpn service to bypass the firewall

Usually this refers to the netgear network router that is used where you are trying to connect to facebook. Whomever owns the network equipment is likely blocking facebook. If you are the one who owns the equipment I would recommend logging into the web interface of the Netgear router, going into the Block Site option on the left hand side (see pic below) and unblock the reference to Facebook.
The web interface, by default, is http://192.168.1.1 and is protected my a username (admin) and password which you would have set when you first configured the device. If you don't know the password you will need to reset the router using the instructions provided by netgear on their website (http://www.netgear.com) under support.
I hope this helps!
Here's the pic of this web interace window:

Try use http://hidemyass.com/
You just type facebook.com in the address field on hideyourass website.

may be you are under security/firewall that block the site. try to contact your administrator. or simply try to use proxy or tunneling site like www.hidemyass.com

or try other web-browser like Mozilla firefox, ie, Google chrome, opera, make sure flash and other plug-ins are installed correctly.

try to set your internet security mid-low... try to turn off or configure your firewall/antivirus firewall software it may block the site.

Do you have any ad-Blockers? what is your firewall? any popup blockers?
you may need to allow the website through your firewall if its not windows firewall
if you have windows Firewall then an ad blocker/popup blocker is blocking it, allow www.facebook.com through that or turn off your ad blocker/popup blocker
Q: why would an ad blocker/popup blocker block Facebook?
A: Facebook contains elements that are often identified as ads or popups, Most of the content are popups/ads, and as such since the entirety of Facebook runs off popups/ads, that is blocked as a result of being identified as unsafe, do not be surprised, some websites are blocked like this that are actually safe and are otherwise known as False Positives in terms of spyware, viruses, Potentially unsafe websites, etc
Q: Is there a solution? A: Yes, uninstall your popup/ad blocker IF you havent bought actually bought it and download and install Peerblock: http://www.peerblock.com/
for your reference i have mine set to block: Anti-p2p Spyware Advertising
and if you use Google Chrome or something that uses Google Chrome Extensions, install this, it doesnt block Facebook, but blocks all ads and saves your download bandwidth, i cant recommend this extension highly enough :) : https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom?hl=en
tell us how you go

hi friend use web proxy to bypass the firewall
1:https://www.rbypass.info/

2:http://www.facebookproxyserver.com/

3:http://www.facebookproxy.org/

___________________________________

use proxy software like Ultrasurf
http://www.ultrareach.com/
configure your browser proxy setting to
IP : 127.0.0.1.
Port : 9666

Well, the issue is the router. Who owns the router? If it is yours, you need to call netgear for router setting assistance. if it is a company router, speak to the administrator, and stay off facebook while at work or School!

try https://www.vtunnel.com

yes there are alot of "special websites" that allow you to go to blocked websites, these "special websites" are called proxies, all you have to do to go to this site and then type the site you want to go to and you there
go to http://www.browser9.com/
type the site, press enter then scrool down the page…
if that doesnt work go to google and search proxy sites ……happy surfing…..

Lets say this is blocking Facebook:

the URL would be: http://www.facebook.com

and it would be blocked.

Instead, type the http part with an extra s, so that it's https://

So now it would be https://www.facebook.com

Often times this will unblock. Just the only annoying thing with this is that you'll have to keep adding "s" to the end of it every time you visit a new page, but it's better than nothing.

Hope this helps!
