Google Free Proxy

Over at Google Hacks, Bigthistle has posted his tips on using Google language tools service as a proxy. This is useful when you are in universities or offices and want to access web sites that are black listed. All you need to do is to type this URL:

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.example.com

Where www.example.com is the site you want to go. After all this is very well example on how to use Google services to the max:

… Ok, let’s start from the beginning. We all know that Google is more than a search engine; we do use it as provider for email, mapping, news and many other services. Google is now also a free proxy service. Proxy is a device that stands between a PC and the internet, providing all the connections to the world wide web. What a proxy does is to receive all data from a requested site, so when you access web pages all data come from proxy.

What’s the purpose for Google as a proxy? We often use office/school/university connections, usually those services are set to provide more safety, blocking the access to undesidered web sites (the “black list”). What you can do now is use Google translator service (language tools) as a proxy to bypass the restrictions set for our connection!…

Update: Readers reported that Google does not work well as proxy. Alternatively, may be better to use other direct web proxy with image support like boreproxy.com.

    Thats a really clever use of translation, but in my college Google is blocked!

  • Ricky Spears says on December 22nd, 2005 at 12:44 pm

    While using this, keep in mind that images and other non-text elements will still pull from the original web site. If you use this to try to get around being tracked by your company’s IT deparment they will still know where you visited because of the images.

  • habib allah says on April 7th, 2006 at 5:32 am

    this is crazy.
    i cannot stand my school. they block everything. ive seriously tried every porxy/potiental proxy server out there. i want to simpily check my mail. is that a crime? even google language tools is blocked!! i’m open for any suggestions on a proxy that might actually work.

  • seth says on April 20th, 2006 at 2:07 am

    i need a proxy not blocked by websence send name to meman092yahoo.com

  • Matt says on May 11th, 2006 at 12:09 am

    Yeah, except it’s NOT a proxy. It doesn’t hide your IP or anything. It might still bypass the school’s shtuff though.

  • ash says on May 11th, 2006 at 12:27 am

    This is easy! Get dialup connection at home, run a proxy server. Every time you connect to your ISP you get a new IP address (under you ISP’s subnet) so it’s harder to track. Don’t give it to a 1000 people, and don’t abuse it, and they will never find out. Don’t advertise it either!

    If they block your ISP’s subnet, subscribe with another one :)

    enjoy!

  • Tyler says on May 11th, 2006 at 6:00 am

    What kind of schools do you people go to?
    If its public high school, I can understand the blocking of most websites, but please tell me you don’t go to any kind of university. My school blocks filesharing programs but only limits bandwidth to dial-up speeds.

  • Mike says on May 11th, 2006 at 7:01 am

    Quit whining, 10 years ago nobody even had email in school (much less computers). Do your geometry homework, your email will be there when you get home.

  • Travis says on May 17th, 2006 at 7:22 am

  • kaila : D says on October 30th, 2006 at 11:39 am

    my school blocked it. but it might work for yall.

  • Will says on November 2nd, 2006 at 4:33 am

    The bandwidth you use at school is paid for by your school, so its understandable that they do not want you using myspace or similar equally annoying sites. Schools provide computers as an educational tool, and should be used appropriately.

    As a note to people trying to use proxies in the workplace, I strongly suggest you read your employment contract, as you are probably breaching it by “bypassing company filters and/or software” or “using company technology for personal use and/or gain”

  • Ravi says on November 2nd, 2006 at 7:46 am

    the google translator proxy is not working for restricted sites in my college ….!pity it is only working for non restricted sites

  • Courtney Robbins says on November 2nd, 2006 at 12:17 pm

    thanx.

  • Danae says on November 7th, 2006 at 10:26 am

    don’t forget that typing ’s’ after the ‘http’ sometimes helps the proxies work. it works for some of them for me! the only problem is that with the proxies, Myspace doesn’t let you actually log in.

  • dean says on November 9th, 2006 at 6:39 pm

    hey guys, this proxy really works, has not been picked up by websence yet! for all u guys who need ur daily dose of porn, or google text, even myspace email me at slipery_penis@hotmail.com as i am continually making new ones to help you guys out, feel free to ask for a list as i know how irritating it can be not to be able to access these websites!
    kind regards, dean smith.

    Yo, im at school, none of these proxy sites work…they suck. We use Surfcontrol and even sites catagorized as ‘Education’ are banned which is the raw deal. Can somebody please please send in a link to a proxy site of some sort that actaully works and can get past surfcontrol. Thankyou!
