Use Google to get around blocked sites

Are you at work and they block some sites (like the FOFC)? Just read this article, or just do the following. Type http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com
(hxxp://www.forbiddensite.com stands for the URL you need to go to...) and you're done.

Looks similar to what I've been doing with Babelfish for a long time.

We block all translation sites (incl. Google's) here, too. Sorry guys, it's my job...

Joe · 12-21-2005, 06:59 PM

actually the translation site worked, but it didnt work on banned sites

Dutch · 12-21-2005, 09:33 PM

Hmmm, so what is babelfish?

Thanks, I'll forward that one off to work as well. I'll figure something out. If there's a way, there's a will!

this is the greatest thread ever started on FOFC, imo...was using this trick all night with bablefish.

many thanks

Dutch · 12-22-2005, 04:36 PM

Our firewall knew all about these sites and blocked them all...

Joe · 12-22-2005, 07:21 PM
