How To View any Restricted Website with Google

January 3rd, 2007

Most companies and schools employ proxy servers to filter unwanted sites so employees won’t waste precious company resources surfing sites that the companies deem unproductive.

One way is to use an anonymous proxy server (such as http://www.spysurfing.com/). But once the system administrator learns about this, he will likely block this site as well. A much more foolproof way is to use Google.

3 ways to use [tag]google[/tag] to see restricted sites:

1. An interesting workaround to bypass your proxy server is to use Google Translate to translate the page you want to view from English to English, like this:

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

2. Another interesting way to bypass it is to use Google Mobile to load a site:

http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=www.websiteurl.com

For example:

http://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=www.youtube.com

3. The third technique is to use Google Cache.
Search in Google.com your desired website. If you search for myspace.com in the right of the domain you’ll see the word Cached.
Using this technique, you should be able to view most of the sites you want. The only downside to this is that the content cached by Google might be outdated, and some images may not load at all.

Happy Browsing!

    Hi florin3. Long post here - sorry! Your howto seems to be helping people to do something that's wrong. Perhaps I am missing something? If an organisation has decided that certain websites are unhelpful or unhealthy, then shouldn't the students or employees there be subject to those decisions? If they think they should have access, shouldn't they appeal through discussions with the organisation? Do you see things differently?

    I'm more trying to ask the question than be accusing. I am concerned that lots of internet users seem happy to do things that are wrong just to get what they want. Shouldn't we do what's right even when there's nobody but ourselves to stop us doing what's wrong? Your thoughts?

    Another way is to use the ip adress instead of the actual url

    Its not with google, but it works most of the time.
    >Go to www.kloth.net
    >Go to NSLOOKUP on the left side of the page
    >Type in the page you want open
    >Copy the ip adress(usually the last one in the blue square box
    >Instead of typing the URL of a site, paste the IP
    For example, instead of typing
    "www.youtube.com" in the adress bar, I would type
    "208.65.153.253"

    This only works for a bit because the administrater might learn to block the IP adresses too

    unfortunately my school has thought of all 3
  • insurgent_007
    Looks like my n/w administrators are more smarter as they have countered all 3 workarounds.
    -In first workaround they have restricted english to english translation
    -In second it says that my computer may be infected with some spyware or something
    -In third ,when you click cached then the site restriction page comes on.
