The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Um, what you are asking for is a NO NO.

    The legal way is to get a VPN connection to a computer situated in the UK.

    Cause it is circumventing the reason they blocked in the first place.
    So it is best to ask elsewhere.

    Unfortunately you can't do it legally not being in the UK so that falls under "bypassing security measures" part of forum rules.
