Proxy...

If you use a proxy server outside the area that is being monitored to retrieve pages on your behalf then you will probably be able to bypass this.

However if accessing the site is illegal however you do it then you may still have problems if you are caught with data in the logs on your PC.

The following links may be of interest, if you are allowed to read them.

If you are on broadband and have a tech savvy friend in one of the more liberal parts of the world perhaps they could act as a proxy for you? This would reduce the annoyance of trying to find a public proxy that works where you are, the powers that be tend to block access to proxies too.
