For anybody in Egypt who wants to bypass the government blockage of websites…

Friday, January 28th, 2011

(First, much thanks to Mateo Geoly for posting these IPs on Facebook).

Apparently — although for how long this will last, I do not know — you can get around Egypt’s block of communications/social networking websites by using the numerical IP address as opposed to the name (which has to be resolved by a DNS). So:

To bypass government blocking of website names, use numerical IP addresses:
For Twitter “128.242.240.52″
For Facebook “69.63.189.34″
For Google “72.14.204.99″
