TL;DR: Unblock X from anywhere in the world with a VPN. The best service for bypassing geo-restrictions to unblock sites/apps is ExpressVPN.


There has been a lot of talk about X, formerly known as Twitter, potentially being banned in Brazil. That would be mildly annoying for all the X users in that country. We say "mildly," because there is an easy fix if this actually becomes an issue.

If you're looking for the best way to unblock X from anywhere in the world, we have the information you need.

  1. Sign up for a VPN (like ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in a location that supports access to X

  4. Visit X from anywhere in the world

The best VPNs for unblocking sites are not free, but most do offer free trials or money-back guarantees. By taking advantage of these offers, you can unblock sites/apps and then recover your investment at a later date. This obviously isn't a long-term solution. If you want to retain permanent access to sites like X from anywhere in the world, you'll need a subscription. Fortunately, the best VPN for bypassing online restrictions is on sale for a limited time.
