Blogger blocked in Pakistan

    Hi,
    I am from Pakistan and I have recently noticed that Pakistan has blocked all the ***.blogspot.com and blogger.com adresses.This leads me into a great trouble.As i have a blog that is Home Of Cricket and I dont wanna loose it.
    So,I wanted to know that Is there any way to open blogger.com dashboard even though it is blocked by ISP.I know we can view it using any proxy,but most of the proxies dont allow post and SSL access.so I am not able to sign in using any proxy.I used kproxy,and it let me sign in but it doesn't shows the compose mode with no picture upload option.
    I am really worried and any help would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    That's too bad,maybe it's time to buy a host/domain yourself.

    Wait wait Zishan, be careful before buying hosting from some PK company. I have been in this field for last two years and I have experienced some bad things which I don't want you to face. First tell me do you have Paypal account? In which city of Pakistan do you live, then I will suggest you what to do.

    Ok, then I will recommend you to use nexus as your hosting company. As its the only one which is a bit reliable amongst Pakistani Hosting Company. I can also offer you free hosting, if you like, PM me if you are interested.

    Thanks

    Dont worry about it yaar problem solved. If you are on internet explorer
    go to internet options--->Connections--->Lan Setting and click on use a proxy server http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html.

    Use that to get proxies and it iwll be like you are in the US. You will be able to get into blogspot no problem.

    I m not sure why this happened. But if pakistan is blocked from blogger, then it should be blocked for some more google services. can you use other google services? Cant you use proxy to access blogger? :?
