How to use Google to view blocked sites:
Google Proxy Trick #1
The first tool is Google's translation service. This service will dynamically download and translate any web page you request, and if you specify the "to" language as English, Google Translate will just spit out the destination document, acting as a simple proxy NB you may have to specify another language to translate from.
Google Proxy Trick #2
The second Google tool that can be used as a proxy service is the Google Wireless Transcoder. This service was designed to make web pages viewable on mobile phone browsers. It will download a destination site's web page, including images, and rework the entire page, on the fly, to fit into an average cell-phone's screen space.
To try it out, go to http://www.google.com/gwt/n and enter the url you'd like to view.
