I really have to write some kind of mega thread on this backed up by other users here with more knowledge than me on why this doesn't do anything so the tech illiterate can understand. They don't 'block' these websites at all, what they do is they block the http address from your I.P address based on your location in most cases and they get the ISPs to do it for them.

It is ridiculously easy to circumvent, Russia Today for example is still 'blocked' but you can use sites like archive.is to grab specific links and because archive.is isn't blocked it will generate the page for you in an archive and you can read the article from the blocked website. These boomer politicians are either tech illiterate or shameless. The archive.is work around I've written up is one of the easier ways you can get past all this crap, sometimes it even works on paywalled stuff too so pop ups they've put up on boomer net do nothing. These website blocks are done by morons or also possibly IT guys who did it half-arsed.

As others have pointed out already, you could go a more complicated but clever route of using Bitcoin and paying a VPN that accepts it in another country to get around any I.P based blocking anyway if you're really that determined but I suspect a simple proxy server is going to do the trick regardless.
