proxy servers

[kvanlaan]

Does anyone know of a good proxy server? Stuff like http://dannyhyde.squarespace.com/jou...ors-guide.html
gets blocked here and I would love to see some of this. Any suggestions?

Not sure if the PRC has figured this out but O'Reilly Net has come up with an ingenious "proxy" using Google's translation tool. Normally, the idea is to translate a page from one language to another but, in this this case, you can set up Google to translate from English to English. The browser looks like it's going to Google but Google is serving up the page in question.

The basic format is as follows

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

Where forbiddensite.com is where you type the URL you want to get to so you can try:

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

Rich, thanks for the link. I tried it and they've already got that loophole covered.

Such is life in the worker's paradise - I used to use uploadguru.com but it "went away".

If I had to bet, I'd guess they already had your shoe size...
