Execute ping www.youprogrammer.com in the Command Prompt and you will see the IP.
IP Address to Decimal conversion
If you are unable to access any website by entering their IP address, then you can enter the decimal equivalent of the URL’s IP address to get access to it. Search Google for IP to Decimal + IP Address of the banned website and Google will convert it to decimal. Enter that converted/result into your browser’s address bar and see if the blocked website opens.
Cache method
Most search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Bing maintain a cache of web pages indexed by them.

If you want pages to load more quickly, then you can visit the text-only version. Since the website is provided from the search engine’s servers, it can be used to overcome IP address and URL based filtering as well.
Using Google Web Light
To make it convenient and more accessible for users browsing on a slow internet connection, Google Web Light is one solution.

To implement this, you can install Opera Mini PC version on your computer and access any blocked website. Most websites will load through this method, although the quality of the results obtained may not be that good for high Css and Javaimplementedimented websites.
