 ping the page_web_near_move_IP 

For example, if you want to see TipsMake.com's IP address, you will enter the ping TipsMake.com command. Copy the IP address displayed on Command Prompt or Terminal, then paste it into the browser address bar and access the normal website.

2. Use Proxy

There are many free proxy sites that provide users with anonymous browsing services. You can use these proxy sites to access blocked websites easily. Just visit the proxy website and enter the website URL you want to visit.

And the server's proxy is connected to the destination of the website. So all you see is the cached version of the page that the proxy server provides for you.
