How to Use Google As a Free Proxy
A proxy is a device or service that acts as an intermediary between your computer and the Internet. By connecting through a proxy you can visit websites blocked by your school or workplace firewalls. You can use Google's translate feature as a free proxy by translating a website from English to English. This tricks your network firewall into thinking that you visited Google instead of the blocked site.
