4 WAYS TO USE ANDROID APPS ON YOUR PC

Have you ever thought of using your PC as an android device?.Yes!Now it is possible.I would guide you through different ways.Where you can fulfill your wish of using android  Machine which will run all android apps.Also some apps let you sync favorites or other personal data with a companion program or some equivalent application on a PC,But mobile apps and their PC counterparts are rarely the same.So, it reduces the privacy issues.     

                                      

4 ways to use android apps on your PC are:

Bluestacks is a silicon valley based software company that produces the bluestacks software which is most probably the first software to introduce android apps to PC.But problem comes here is that blue stacks is available in free version but it slow down your system and when it comes to Youwave its in paid version which was we are not most likely to pay when we are getting a similar thing for free.so to overcome this problem Genymotion  have come.And also there is this official Android emulator provided by google as a part of the Android SDK.

1. BLUESTACKS:                                                


Bluestacks is one of the popular software amongst Android emulator for windows, this is not a complete software but mostly an app player.It has a simpler user interface.you can search for an app on playstore using the search field and install the app we need in our PC.The user experience could be a lot better if you have a windows 8 touch screeen display as you could perform action just the way you would do on android smartphone.If we dont have a touch screen instead of swipe click and hold mouse button,move the mouse cursor and then release.

Advantages:

  • Push Apps from  Bluestacks App to your device.
  • Ease of PC to navigate on PC screen.
  • Though it is not the best emulator for windows, it has great potential.

Disadvantages:

  • Not all features of an App can be used.
  • This Android emulator for Windows still have a lot of bugs freezing.

2. YOUWAVE: 

You Wave offers full android system unlike Bluestacks app player the menu and options are  just like a regular android home screen, however you wave is a paid application but comes  with ten days of free trial to try out the software, this is the only android emulator for windows on our list which doesn’t offer free version. You wave android emulator for windows  works on resources from a software called virtual box, if this piece of virtualization software is installed on your system then you will have to remove it before installing the you wave because both will be relying on same services.                                           



You may decide to install android on virtual box by skipping you wave but that calls for more work however by doing this you don’t have to pay to you wave makers. Unlike Bluestacks, you wave doesn’t come pre loaded with top apps however you can install play store to get your favorite apps, to install Google play Click the View menu, select Online Content, and click on the Google Play icon, then Click the View menu again, select Apps, and click the Google Play app to download Google play.

Advantages:

  • Complete Android user experience.
  • Fast performance with almost no lags.

Disadvantages:

  • It is paid App and free trial is only for 10 days.

3. GENYMOTION:

Formerly android vm has been upgraded to Genymotion, developers aim to replace android native emulator and increase its usage from just testing to presentation and much more, it is a quality & feature rich product. Genymotion is available for Windows, Mac & Linux. Like You Wave Genymotion does not rely on resources from virtual box, if you are trying to install it on windows the installation package is bundled with Virtual box but for mac and Linux virtual box has to be installed separately.



Genymotion has a lot of features to offer including but not limited to Wi-Fi, GPS emulators, hardware acceleration, command line utility & eclipse IDE plugin, developers goal is to include many more sensors in coming versions, click here to download Genymotion.

Advantages:

  • Very fast when compared to other Android Emulators.
  • It is free.
  • Completely developer friendly and normal user friendly.
  • You can use Accelerometer and other sensors(pro version features).

Disadvantages:

  • There is no official support to use Google Services.
  • Can't run on low end systems, minimum of 2 GB RAM is required.

4. OFFICIAL ANDROID EMULATOR:

Google provides an official Android emulator as part of the Android SDK. You can use it to run the Android operating system in a window on your existing computer. This gives you complete access to the entire Android operating system. It’s intended for developers to test their Android apps.

Unfortunately, the official Android emulator is rather slow and isn’t a good option for everyday use. It’s useful if you want to test apps or play with the latest version of Android, but you wouldn’t want to actually use apps or play games in it. 

Advantages:

  • It is officially produced by Google.

Disadvantages:

  • It lacks ease of users.
These are four main Android emulators available for Windows Operating systems. If you have any new approaches then please free to comment below. I will answer your queries.

7 Ways to Block a Website:

1. BLOCK A WEBSITE ON PC:

In this section I will give you procedure, how to block a website over all Browsers on a PC step by step.

  1. First open RUN and type "C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc" in the text box of windows explorer. If windows is not installed in C drive then replace "C" in above command to the appropriate drive. Then click OK button.
  2. It opens a new window, In that window double click "hosts" file and open it in Notepad.
  3. Then in that "hosts" Notepad at the end first identify the lines "127.0.0.1 localhost" and "::1 localhost".
  4. Below that two lines place the cursor and type command "127.0.0.1 website", here in the command website must be replaced by the name of the website which you want to block from accessing.
  5. Then go to "tools" option and select the "save" option.    

Like this you can Block any number of websites on your PC by following the same above procedure.

Note: 

  • If the "hosts" file was not saved after modification then you need to change the Administrator permissions. At that time, Right click on the "hosts" file.
  • Select "properties" option from the displayed options.
  • Now choose "security" option from newly opened window.
  • Then click on "Edit" option above the permissions list.
  • Then check all the boxes below the option "allow". and then Click on OK button.

Then save the modified file. Otherwise save the modified file in different location like desktop or other folders and then Drag that file to the previous location. 

After this modifications the specified websites in "hosts" file are not allowed by your PC to open in any of the Browser present in your PC. 

2. BLOCK A WEBSITE ON MAC:

First of all if you want to make any serious system changes to your MAC then it is good to have backup of the original system settings. It is optional only for security purpose. Let me explain you the procedure to Block a Website on MAC.
  1. First open "terminal" by going to "Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal".
  2. Then copy and paste the below given code in the Terminal after the $ [dollar] symbol and press Enter.                                                                                                              CODE: sudo /bin/cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts-original
  3. Then terminal will ask you to enter "Password". Then you enter your password but it is not displayed there but it is saved. So please enter password carefully.
  4. Then again copy and paste the below given code into the terminal after the $ [dollar] symbol and press Enter.                                                                                                              CODE: sudo /Applications/TextEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/TextEdit/etc/hosts
  5. Then "hosts" text file will be opened. Check whether the hosts file locked or unlocked.  
  6. If "hosts" file is Locked then Unlock it clicking next to the "Locked" icon in the header portion and then selecting "Unlock".
  7. In "hosts" file text edit below the line "fe80::1%lo0 localhost" place the edit cursor.
  8. And then type the command "127.0.0.1 website" here website means the name of the website which you would like to Block on your MAC.
This is the procedure to Block a website on MAC. You can Block any number of websites across all browsers on MAC.

Block Websites on Browser:

1. BLOCK A WEBSITE ON CHROME:

In Chrome there is no inbuilt option to block any website. The only thing to do is to have Chrome Extension which will block the access to the websites. There are many extensions to do so. But I will suggest you only two of them. They are.
  1. Block Site.
  2. Stay Focused.

HOW BLOCK SITE WORKS:

If Block Site Extension is enabled in the Google chrome to Block a website...     
  • Right Click anywhere on the website.
  • Then a list of Block Site options are displayed from them choose "add current site to Block List" if wish to add that website to black list. Then the site is added to Block list.
With this Block Site extension, we can block some of the words from displaying in websites, we can set times in which a Website must be blocked so that the particular website does not work in that time. It also has Uninstall protection so that the persons who don't know password can not uninstall it.

Block Site Plus is another extension in Chrome which can be used to Block website based on the measure of how much time you would like to spend on that website per day after that time website is automatically Blocked.

2. BLOCK A WEBSITE ON FIREFOX:

Blocking a website in Mozilla Firefox uses third party Add-ons to do this Block site. Like Chrome it also has many Add-ons to do so. Two of them are...
  1. Leech Block.
  2. Block Site.

HOW LEECH BLOCK WORKS:

Once leech Block Add-on is enabled on you Firefox browser. Then open Leech Block and specify the name of the website which is to be blocked in the Firefox Browser. With this extension we can specify when to block a website and how to block a website. This extension can Block websites in six sets. Option of setting password to this Add-on is also available.

3. BLOCK A WEBSITE ON INTERNET EXPLORER

In Internet Explorer we can directly Block a website with the help of internal settings of the Explorer itself. 

Procedure to Block:

  1. Open Internet Explorer and click on Tools (Alt+X) option in internet explorer.
  2. Then select "Security" option on newly opened window. 
  3. Click on "Restricted Sites" and after that click on "Sites" button.
  4. Then add the website which you wish to Block and click the "ADD" button and then exit.  

Then the site is Blocked from accessing through the Internet Explorer.

Block a Website From Selected Users of Your  Computer:

If there are two or more users in your PC. You want to have access to all the websites across all the browsers but you want restrict other users from accessing certain websites. In this case follow the below procedure.....

Procedure:

  1. Open any Browser in your system and enter IP Address of your router in the address bar of the browser and press Go button . [usually this IP Address may be 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1].
  2. Then enter Username and Password to enter into the Router configuration.
  3. Then go to section where we you can Block websites, Computers and access during certain times of the day. For most of the Routers the section is named as "Access Restrictions".
  4. Then there enter the details of the Website and users which you want to restrict.   

This way you can Block websites from certain users of your system. 

Some other Ways you can restrict:

  • We can Turn On Safe Search in Google by log in to your Google Account. So that Google search will show the results that does not contain the Explicit content. So that your children can enjoy clean browsing on Internet.
  • By Turning On the SAFE settings in YouTube, we can avoid display Explicit content videos from the search results. 
  • By using Third party Applications we can Block Websites from children accessing them. DNS Angel is one of them.

Note:

Always make sure that you had back up of your files before editing your "hosts" text file.

If you know any other methods to Block a website On system please comment below.

15 WAYS TO ACCESS BLOCKED WEBSITES

Many public places, colleges, schools and companies provide free internet service. But, some of them put restrict access to some websites like Facebook, YouTube etc., In those situations don't bother about the restrictions and how to open those blocked websites?. There are many ways to access blocked websites. Here are some of the ways to get access to the restricted and blocked websites.        


                                 

15 Ways to Access Blocked Websites:

1. USING IP ADDRESS:

You know that every website will have an IP (Internet Protocol) Address. Using the respective IP address of a website we can access that website.

To get IP address of a website, type "ping websitename.com" in command prompt. Then it gives the IP address of the website.

Then type that IP address in address bar of the browser and press Enter button, this automatically opens the respective webpage. That's all. 

2. USING CACHE:

This is the easiest methods to access a blocked website. The only thing you must do is follow below steps..  

              
  1. Go to Google.com.
  2. Do Google search for the page you want to find.
  3. Click the green arrow. i.e., for eg: market in above image.
  4. Click the CACHED.
Then the browser displays the cached website details, from there you can access the complete website.

3. USING GOOGLE MOBILE SEARCH:

If you are using college/office Wi-Fi network connection. you can access the blocked websites in your network through Google Mobile Search. Google Mobile Search acts as a proxy and retrieves the webpage by stripping all the CSS and JS from its own server. Therefore, your network blocking software won't be aware that you are accessing a blocked website. You can use this method to use the blocked from your School Wi-Fi network without interrupted.

4. USING ANONYMOUS BROWSER:

Using Anonymous browser will unblock the blocked websites in your network. However, now a day this method have become very transparent to people. Therefore, some organizations have blocked the access to those anonymous browsers as well. If you are in luck, then this method could help you to access these websites.

For Eg: TOR browser.

To download TOR browser: CLICK HERE

5. USING GOOGLE AND BING TRANSLATE SERVICE:

At present Google and Bing is providing a translation service to convert webpage from one language to another language. To access this blocked site from the server just type the URL of blocked site which you want to access and convert into any other languages. Using this translation service you can convert webpage into another language and access its content.

6. USING DECIMAL CODE:

Here is the first trick I told that if a website URL is blocked then you can access using the IP address but if IP address is also blocked means then you may use Decimal code. Decimal codes are nothing but conversion of IP address. But to get Decimal number you must and should know the IP address.   

NOTE:
For example if IP address of Google is http://74.152.236.160/, then you can use http://1249766560 which is a decimal format.

Also read: HOW TO GET DECIMAL FORMAT OF IP ADDRESS.

7. BY CHANGING DNS SETTINGS:

If access to many websites are denied then you can consider this method to unblock websites in college or anywhere. One of the obvious methods of website blocking in school is through restricting the DNS server from allowing certain websites. in this case, you can get help from third-party websites like"Google Public DNS" or "Open DNS".

Go to one of above sites, sign-up for free and change the DNS on your PC following their instructions provided there.

8. USING OPERA MINI:

This is an alternative way of Google Mobile Search. Opera allows you to access all the websites as being proxy between your computer and websites thereby bypassing the blocked sites without any issues. However, the full version of the Opera Mini Simulator is a paid service but you can use the demo version of Opera Mini Simulator to bypass blocked websites at college or office.

9. USING WAYBACK MACHINE:

Way back machine is an online service which is going to keep track of the copy of the websites from the time it is started. Using this website just enter and click on date that's it you can access that blocked website.

10. READING THE WEBSITE VIA "EMAILTHEWEB":

Email the web is a free service which sends directly to your mailbox. To get the webpage via Email then you need to register to the Email the web site and enter the website URL and enter email-address and you are completed.

To go to EmailTheWeb: CLICK HERE

11. USING VPN SERVICE:

Open VPN services are available on the internet. Some of them won't work sometimes but it's worth a try. They allow you switch your location and access the blocked websites. If it doesn't work for you the  preferred choice is to buy VPN service and gain access to blocked websites. Hidemyass provides cheap VPN's and charge very less for monthly usage.

12. BROWSE ON HTTPS CONNECTION:

HTTPS means HTTP with secure connection, in which data is sent by encrypting. Instead of using HTTP in URL use HTTPS and then access the website.   

                                    
For Eg: Try https://www.techglut.com/ instead of http://www.techglut.com/ and then access. This trick works in many cases.

13. USING REMOTE DESKTOP CONNECTION:

Remote desktop connection allows us to use another computer via internet.

We can use our own laptop or PC to access the blocked websites. It may take a while but it is secure way. All you have to do is learn how to arrange a remote decktop connection.

14. USING HOLA EXTENSION:                                        


Hola is a browser extension which allows you to browse internet anonymously. Hola browser extension is available for all the browsers.

15. REDIRECT BLOCKED WEBSITES WITH URL SHORTNERS:

Evaryone knows that URL shortners are used to make the long URL to short URL. Here URL shortner site allows you to bypass the security settings. Some of the URL shortner sites are adf.ly, adfocus.me, TinyURL and mooURL.

Thats all about how to access the blocked websites in colleges, schools, offices and companies. if you have  any queries please comment below. I will answer your queries as soon as possible. If you know any new tricks apart from above tricks, you are welcome to inform me below in comment box.
