Bypass content filtering using Google language tools
This has worked for me for as long as I can remember. To get around a blocked site, as long as i’m not trying to view flash or other 2.0 stuff, I just translate english pages from spanish to english. What happens is any english (which is everything) just gets passed right on, but the results come from google instead of the target site.
For example, say gamestop’s site is blocked, and you just want to see what the top 10 games are in sales. It’s right there on the front page, but you can’t get to it because of some content filtering. Easy enough, go to google.com, click on the “language tools” link right there on the front page. Search for whatever you’re trying to find, and translate english pages from any language TO english.
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&langpair=es|en&u=http://www.gamestop.com
You can just append whatever URL you want to see using the link above. Just replace www.gamestop.com with whatever it is you’re trying to get to. This won’t help you waste away on facebook or youtube.
If you find the language tools pages is blocked, you can probably use google to search for other translation services that will perform the same task. There are more complete ways to set up an internet proxy, like configuring a proxy at home and setting up dynamic dns so you can browse away while away.
But if you’re at work and you’re trying to get to legitimate information in a pinch, yet the site you need has been blocked for some reason, this will git ‘r dun.
