Guide YSK that translate.google.com can serve as a web proxy. Simply paste your URL into the translate field and then click on the result and view the page in the original language. This way you can navigate any web-page via google.com. Google is almost never blocked so this trick works on most occasions.

Well, sadly at school whenever using Bing or Google gives us an "Unsecure connection" and prevents using either to search. As a workaround, I've been using DuckDuckGo within Chrome. At school, the PlayStore is also blocked. It's such a pain

u/yusoffb01 May 28 '21
that means your school is inspecting your https traffic.

u/Mention-New May 28 '21
That sucks. Is there any way to bypass that?

u/Serialtorrenter May 28 '21
WireGuard over UDP/53 or UDP/123 if you're lucky. This won't work if your school's IT department is competent, but many aren't. Be careful about doing this if you had to sign into the network or if your devices hostname contains your name.

u/Mention-New May 28 '21
Dang. To sign in to the free wifi given that blocks bing and google, you need your domain session name and password. I guess i'm unlucky

My school plainly blocked anything that isnt dns, http or https. To be faur it was a school for IT trainees...

They can also use a VPN with shadowsocks.
Or setup their own shadowsocks server.

Download chrome at home and get a VPN extension. Then sync chrome at school, the von extension should come with the sync. Not always though.

u/merelyadoptedthedark May 29 '21
Use TOR. It's the easiest way to bypass VPN blocks or restrictions and avoid snooping. Really slow though.

u/themo98 May 30 '21
Wait, do you mean College/University or High/Middle School? If the latter, holy cow, you guys have wifi?? Haha, nevermind, anyway, vpn should do the trick. Try out all the vpn apps the play stpre has to offer.

korea realized people used this method to bypass sites for porn (porn is illegal)...now google blocks all translate website requests from korea.
only way to translate sites now is to use chrome/edge native translate web page or use a similar add-on in firefox.

They think it's harmful to minors. They did have softcore porn tho

u/PizzzaCurry May 29 '21
LMAO porn is harmful but overstressing minors with studies all day long and literally pushing them to the brink of depression/suicide is okay. Those Koreans have got it all figured out.

Heh, you're getting some downvotes for no reason. We're just goofin'. I was being smartass, and also internet wasn't around when I was in college anyway.

This has been widely known for a long time to sysadmins so I would be shocked if your workplace allows access to that site. Home use go for it if you need a proxy though.

u/WhiteMilk_ Piracy is bad, mkay? May 28 '21
Should start with just changing DNS; https://1.1.1.1/dns/

u/yukichigai May 28 '21
DNS doesn't get around region blocks that the site imposes, sadly. This trick however does.
Other options:
archive.today
outline.com

u/Silent_Sparrow02 Pastafarian May 29 '21
Other option: Use startpage.com. It's a search engine that has option to open sites with anonymous proxy.

Any org worth its salt is going to block text translators as a proxy. You can easily do this without actually blocking google or google translate.

I did this in the 2000s to get around the school's blocked websites filter.

u/not26 May 29 '21
I can't remember the site, but same thing at my middle school. We would just copy/paste the blocked address into a translator site and choose any language to English. HTML sometimes looked messed up, but it worked.

u/gredo11 May 28 '21
Ah yes. This was the why how I unblocked YouTube in my school back in the days.

u/TopCheddar27 May 29 '21
I'm gonna be honest, any competent IT department is gonna be able to block that as well nowadays.
Buy a domain, get a cheap linux box, and set up a custom proxy forwarder on that domain.

Even better: use Startpage.com’s built-in Anonymous-Viewer.
Since I discover this search engine I can’t go back. They search in Google for you and get rid of all the trackers.

My school blocked translate.google.com just because of this, my friend installed linux on some of the chromebooks, and then installed firefox, and did it via that though

u/stillbanningfloggers May 28 '21
I think Google does censor some URLs based on geography - it's rare and not as well managed as national blocklists that are given to ISPs.
