The Ways To Access The Internet When The Government Blocks It

Method 1 -
Satellite internet is one option, but not all that cost effective in most respects.
In the case of Egypt, WikiLeaks was kind enough to provide a free dial-in service:
Dial-Up Internet in Egypt +33172890150 (login 'toto' pass 'toto')
if you DO have the internet and you just need to circumvent a firewall type protection, then TOR is the way to go:
http://www.torproject.org/

Method 2 - 
If it's DNS that is shut down, (I'm in the middle east so these might be slightly faster than the servers in the US if they are using load balancing)

Facebook: 69.63.181.12
Gmail: 209.85.153.83
Twitter:  128.121.146.100

You can get Tor by email as well. From a Gmail or Yahoo mail account send windows to bundle anywhere in the body of the email to get tor AT torproject.org . For bridges send get bridges to the same.
There are also bundles for OSX and Linux avaliable. 

Method 3 - 
You can either use a proxy website or VPN software or try to access blocked a website by using its IP address or mobile version it may work sometimes.

I only prefer Hotspot Shield free VPN if I want to access Government blocked websites as it is fast, free and provides unlimited bandwidth.
