Proxy Unblocker

In this article ( Unblock sites with Google ) i described how to use Google translator as your school proxy to access restricted sites.

It was a good hack, but it uses Javascript which may slow down some browsers. However I found Yahoo Babelfish translator is a good alternative.

Now to use this hack to unblock myspace just copy this to the url bar:

http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fmyspace.com&lp=zh_en&btnTrUrl=Translate

We are using myspace.com as an example. Replace it with the address you want to go to.

Have you ever wanted to know what web sites do parents, schools and small businesses block the most? You have probably thought about porn or gambling websites, right? Surprise, surprise!

According to OpenDNS’s (an industry-leading Web content filtering company) records, these are the ten most blocked web sites by parents, schools and small businesses:

1. MySpace.com (Woo-hoo!)
2. Facebook.com
3. YouTube.com
4. Playboy.com
5. Ebay.com
6. Meebo.com
7. Friendster.com
8. Orkut.com
9. AdultFriendFinder.com
10. Espn.com

I’m excited! There are only 2 adult websites in the list. You see, my friends, the porn is not a problem – social networking is the evil that corrupt our minds. Mwa ha ha ha ha!
