Now this is a really awesome trick for people who has been using proxy servers to avoid their school’s or office’s security to access forbidden websites. But more often than not, these proxy servers get blocked one after another by that damn administrator. But hey, Google can help!
Try this:
http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com
Well all it does, is translate your forbiddensite.com from English to…English! And there you have it, one naughty website served.
But of course, there’s no guarantee he won’t simply block Google.

C’mon, almost any filter you care to choose would see the http://www.forbiddensite.com in the url and block you.

It may be old news, but it’s the first I’ve heard it. I think it’s a cool idea.
…although images would still get blocked.

haha, nice trick.
They can’t block google.

Irresponsible to promote Google as a proxy when it is not. There is an interesting discussion about this topic at proxy.org:

If the US google site gets blocked, you can always go to the canadian one, http://www.google.ca, this has happened at my school once before. And good link PumpkinEater, everything stated there was true and important.

Major web filtering software like WebSense are well aware of this ‘trick’. This won’t get you anywhere if your network adminstrators have any sort of decent software.

u guys gotta try JAP (java anonymous proxy)
works great and almost impossible for the program to be blocked by your ISP.
The problem is that some ISP’s have blocked the web site (but can’t block the program). You can always ask your friend abroad who is online to download it for you and send it to you.

I remeber back in the day when I was in high school “2003 was my senior year,” I remember using HEX in the address bar to access sites, it was so great. My old school used the BESS N2H2 filter system. Knowing the admins they probly never changed it either, they were too busy using the schools pipeline to use their P2P programs. I remeber our network had more holes then swiss cheese LOL! I would hear atleast once a week, sorry but the email is down, there is a virus blah blah blah don’t open up any emails with .exe files, coming over the intercom. I thought it was pretty dumb, I thought the staff would learn the first time not to. Now students here is something fun to do to a teacher, espicially if they dont know jack about computers, install a copy of PC Anywhere on their rig “so it doesent log them off for using RDC” “NOTE: When I was in school most of the computers were still running 98SE so I didn’t have an RDC problem.” and start screwing with their icons, font sizes, etc, man I loved that. The web filter they used was such a POS! If any public school IT admins read this please take all I have said into consideration, I am not trying to offend you guys but seriousally us students get board in class, espically us uber geeks and all I am going to say is just keep your network security up as much as you can. You don’t think there are students out there that can crack your network, take a second look. ALWAYS WATCH YOUR BACK! I saw it happen all the time at my high school! Just like my college professor says, there is no such thing as security. Also if you see a student that has that kind of potential, let them work up in your IT department. Too bad my school was too closed minded after my sophmore year. The student is probly just striving for attention and is board in class and finds class a waste of their time. Just my two cents.

Why google should be block? Only stupid people would block google, google provide serive with great search results. I remembered once if i am not wrong, my school has block google search engine, only yahoo as a homepage on my school computer, i asked why? they answered google provide unrelevant site and sometime even come up with porn sites. Google was not popular back then, now google is popular, i think they already change to google. I haven’t try google free proxy, i will try it if i have the time.Cheers
