My name is Siamak, and I read an article regarding the removal of internet filters. Since some people may not have understood it correctly, I will explain it simply below. It is enough to type the name of the desired website, which cannot normally be accessed, into the Google search line and then click on Google search. For example: www.voanews.com or voanews. You will see that in front of each of the search results, there is a word titled 'Cached.' By clicking on it, you can access the desired website through Google.
