What to do if a page on VK is blocked and how to find out why

Today we will touch on an important topic and tell you what you need to do if your VK page is blocked. It doesn’t matter if it was frozen until a certain date, temporarily or permanently, we will tell you about all the cases in detail.

Social networks have penetrated so deeply into our lives (communication, work, study, hobbies, friends, relatives, acquaintances) that many can no longer imagine a new day without their favorite page with news, fresh photos and likes. And how sometimes the message about blocking an account on your favorite social network “unsettles” you. A number of questions arise: “For what sins?”, “Why?”, “Will this last for a long time?”, “What should I do?”

Could a virus be the reason why the VK (VKontakte) page was blocked?

If, when trying to log into your account, you suddenly find out that your Contact page is blocked, how to unblock it will be the first question that arises. However, under no circumstances send any money to anyone when trying to unlock it, because there is a very high probability that this is one of the scammers’ tricks to steal your funds.

So, you can't log into your account. Here's what you need to do first:

Try logging into your account from another device, such as a phone or a friend's computer. If everything works, it means there is a virus on your device.
Take a close look at the page blocking your access to VK - if there is a requirement to transfer money somewhere or send SMS to any number, then there is a virus on your device. The site administration never requires payment for such services.

If you are convinced that the problem is a virus, it’s time to clean your device from it. Surely your phone or computer has built-in antivirus programs - use them by running a deep cleaning. Also, there are special extensions for the computer that will help unblock access to VKontakte, OK, and so on, by destroying a virus that blocks access to a social network, for example, VKontakte Unloock.

VPN extensions

For all popular browsers, there are special extensions that redirect traffic to servers in other countries. Their use is as simple as possible; you just need to install the addon and activate it.

Even this requires experience, as most good VPNs charge a fee, but there are exceptions. We recommend using:

Browsec is a very popular option as it is easy to use. Just download from the store and it will work immediately. In free mode, only 4 countries are available to change IP, but this is quite enough. Note that in some cases, hosting in countries fails, in this case, simply change the country. Another advantage is that it works without speed limits;
ZenMate – extension also has a free demo mode, it is similar to the previous option. There is one secret - when you create an account, you are given a trial premium mode for 7 days. If you constantly activate it for different emails (many temporary mailbox services), then you can have a permanent premium account;

Hotspot Shield is also a simple service; you just need to activate it in your browser and traffic is automatically redirected without any extra settings. True, if there are problems with the server, then there will not be much choice between access points;
Hola is a very convenient extension, as it allows you to establish access through other countries for individual services. This way you can set up a VPN only for VK, and on other sites everything will be the same, but in other options you will have to disable the extension for this;

DotVPN – the addon is quite convenient, has a huge variety of countries to connect to, has a beautiful design and an informative menu. The only drawback is the lack of support for some media formats.

All of the options listed are quite workable and thanks to them, VK will become accessible.

The advantages of the method are ease of use and user anonymity. Disadvantages - the above extensions are not involved in theft, but in general it is possible to steal data at the time of transfer to the service or use your traffic for the purpose of organizing DDOS.

Why was the VK (VKontakte) page blocked?

Now that you are convinced that the reason was not a virus, let’s look at other possible reasons why you were blocked.

You are denied access to VKontakte because you are a citizen of Ukraine. In general, for residents of this country, gaining access to social networks is a whole quest. So if you want to log into VK in Ukraine, be prepared that there will be no easy solutions.
Your VKontakte profile was blocked at the request of other users (for example, for threats against them).
Your VKontakte profile has been blocked for minor or major violations of the rules of the social network.
Your VKontakte page was hacked and they started sending spam from it, so it was blocked.

We will describe in detail below how to quickly unblock your VK page through a phone or computer in Ukraine, but there are nuances regarding the next two options: access can be closed for a certain period or forever. And if the account has been hacked, then gaining access to it will be quite easy.

How to log into VK on a computer

Here we have several options:

We activate the VPN service in our browser, and if the option is not supported, we change the web browser to a more functional and modern option. You can follow the link that will take you to the best browsers of this type. All of them are available for download for free!
If we are happy with everything in the navigator (we don’t want to synchronize ∕ transfer bookmarks, we’re afraid of losing authorization and other information, or we’re just too lazy to bother), we take a closer look at VPN plugins. You don’t need to download them – just find and turn them on. Excellent selections of extensions for Chrome, Opera, Mozilla, etc. can be found in our online magazine. You will be surprised how simple and profitable it is - you don’t buy anything, don’t lose connection speed and get access to your favorite site.
We resort to the help of anonymizers (they have not yet been banned). These online assistants can replace your real IP address and make it possible to bypass proxy blocking. The principle of operation is as simple as possible - open the site, enter https://vk.com in the address bar and enjoy working on the network. Examples of services:
https://cameleo.xyz/
https://www.proxfree.com/

And this is what the interface of one of them looks like:

To be fair, one important nuance should be noted - using them on an ongoing basis is not entirely safe and reliable - anonymizers require access to the network, are not always free and stable in operation, many of them engage in “phishing” (essentially Internet fraud).

How to unblock a VKontakte page?

What to do if such a problem occurs? The answer to this question will depend on why exactly the blocking occurred. Next, we will talk about each of the reasons and how to solve it.

Option 1 - your access has been blocked for violations

But how to unblock yourself if a friend blocked you on VK, complaining to the administration about violations, or the system itself considered your actions to violate the company’s rules and therefore your access was blocked for a certain period? Everything is very simple here - wait until the ban ends, receive an SMS with a code to your phone number, return to your account and enter the code.

By the way, please note that if you come across recommendations on how to unblock a VK page ahead of time without a number or by sending an SMS, most likely these are scammers, since in any case you will not be able to unblock a VKontakte account earlier time assigned by the administration.

And, of course, the answer to the question “how to unblock a page on VK if it has been blocked forever” will be no way; you have been recognized as a persistent offender for repeatedly violating the rules, so now you can only create a new profile.

Option 2 - your account was hacked

If it turns out that you have been blocked on suspicion of hacking your profile, then to gain access to it you need to do the following:

Open the full version of VK (best on a computer).
Enter your username and password for your VKontakte profile. If you apply from other profiles, your request will not be considered.

Find the "Help" section and write to support. You will be contacted shortly and your profile will be unblocked.

Account saved? Great! But that is not all! Be sure to go through your page along with our instructions on what to do if your page has been hacked! This will help you recover all the necessary data and avoid a repeat of the situation!

Option 3 - you are in Ukraine

For a long time, residents of Ukraine have had difficulty logging into this social network; There are many different ways to overcome them, and as an option, there is software unblocking of VK and Odnoklassniki pages via VPN.

We hope that we were able to explain to you how to unlock a VK account on your phone and computer and why this happened to you; You can send us your questions on this topic using the comments.

Proxy

This option is more difficult to implement, as it requires the use of your own “bridge,” that is, a server in a hosting center, but it is more flexible in implementation and safe for the user. If you want to set up your own proxy, use the instructions provided in this article.

When you don’t want to deal with server and client settings, you can simply download a proxy with already configured connection sheets. Moreover, this can be implemented both using a browser and a system program, for example, Proxy Switcher.

When organizing your own proxy, the likelihood of user disclosure is significantly reduced and configuration flexibility increases. At the same time, it is convenient that through VDS or VPS servers you can route traffic from different devices or an entire organization.

Why can you get banned from a group?

A considerable number of users receive a ban from a group, after which they look for how to bypass the VK blocking. A VKontakte community subscriber may be blacklisted for several reasons:

Violated the rules of a specific public.
Sent spam in comments and messages.
Distributed links to third-party resources.
Used 18+ content in communication: pictures, videos.
He wrote obscene language and started insulting the personality of another community member.

Bypass group blocking

It is very disappointing if you, being the creator or administrator of any community on VK, one fine day, go to the page of your brainchild, and suddenly discover that it has been banned. Of course, you will think about how to bypass the blocking of the VKontakte group. Alas, this is impossible. There is only one way out - to eliminate the reasons for which you received the ban as soon as possible.

One of the possible reasons is a violation of Russian legislation. Perhaps the group contained 18+ content, and its viewing was open to all persons without restrictions; the community was accessible to minors. The reason may be a more serious violation. In this case, the chance that the group will be unblocked is minimal, even if you delete everything illegal.

The community can also be blocked for cheating subscribers. Before such a serious step as a ban, the administration usually issues a warning. Let us remind you that any cheating on VK is prohibited: mass mailings of invitations to join a group, spam, and exchange of subscribers and likes through exchanges and applications. If you take such a risky step, then try to invite no more than 200 people per day.

Regularly remove subscribers who have left VKontakte (they have the characteristic face of a sad dog on their avatar): if there are more than 40% of them, the community will be blocked. However, if you missed something and the community was banned, clean out all the fraudulent participants with “dogs”, then report what happened to technical support and wait for further instructions. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to tell us what methods you used to gain subscribers.
