unblocker

Clears the path

An unblocker is something that removes an obstruction or restores flow.

A drain unblocker clears clogged pipes.

In computing, an unblocker is software or a service that bypasses restrictions—typically to access websites or content blocked by networks, firewalls, or geographic limitations: I used a VPN unblocker to watch the show from abroad.
