How To Use Google Services As Proxy Server To Bypass Paywalls, Download Files

 There are different ways to use many services from Google as proxy servers to access to the locally restricted websites at your workplace, school, or college. Here, we’ll show you how to use Google Translate and Google WebLight services as proxy servers to access blocked content.

Sometimes, it happens that you are not allowed to access some restricted websites at your workplace, college, or school. But, it might also be the case that you urgently need to access those websites for some educational or personal purpose. In those cases, you can use different services from Google as proxy servers.

Below are the steps where we show you how to use Google services as proxy servers. Take a look:

Use services from Google as proxy servers:

 1. Google Translate as Proxy server

Go to Google Translate page. Choose a source language that you do not speak, here it’s “Spanish”. Choose the destination language as the one you speak, here it’s English. Enter the URL of the website you want to access in the source and then wait for it to translate it.

Enter the URL of the website you want to access in the source and then wait for it to get translated.

Once Google is done translating the text, the URL that you entered in the source will remain a URL but it will become clickable on the destination box

Click the translated link in the right box and you will be able to access the website within Google Translate. Google translate will continue to translate the text as you browse the website.

Note: This trick of using Google translate as proxy server works only when the website has been blocked by the local administrator. If the website is blocked by your ISP, it won’t work.

2. Google WebLight services as Proxy server:

Google WebLight services can also be used as a proxy server. This service is used by Google to render heavy websites on a slow connection. It means that Google WebLight optimizes a website up to 80% and delivers the website in a mobile site format.

If you want to use Google WebLight as a proxy server, then replace ‘Fossbytes’ with the site of your choice. Then paste that in a web browser’s address bar and press enter.

“http://googleweblight.com/?lite_url=http://fossbytes.com/”
