How to Bypass Blocked Sites Using Google Translate

School or work environments often block their users from accessing certain sites. If they block these sites, then they most likely also block any proxy sites. How do you bypass these restrictions to get to your favorite website? This tutorial describes how. Keep in mind that this, like all proxies, does not work perfectly on all websites. It works best on static websites.
  1. Copy the URL of the website you want to visit.
  2. Visit http://translate.google.com/ 
  3. Paste the URL into Google Translate.
  4. Click on the link.
  5. Make sure the "from" language is not the language that the site is in.
  6. For example, to view Reddit in English, translate the website from French to English, even though the website is already in English.
  7. Otherwise, an error will be displayed and you won't be able to view the site.
