Google Proxy Unhacked
By Angsuman Chakraborty, Gaea News NetworkMonday, January 21, 2008
Google had a well known proxy facility. You could use
an url like https://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=https://blog.taragana.com to access https://blog.taragana.com using Google as proxy. Unfortunately that doesn’t work anymore. Google comes back with a message - “Translation from English into English is not supported.”. Everything is not lost yet, there is still a way though not as pretty.
You can access this blog, for example, from your mobile or from your web browser using this url:
https://www.google.com/gwt/n?u=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.taragana.com
The result is plain jane but usable. It can be used in countries with access restriction to certain sites as well as from universities with access to content.

Its not that cool though, I noticed that its revealing the surfers ip address. Try to the following: 1. Visit https://tracemyip.com to see what ip address you have without using google translation. Google translation is not hiding your ip if the same ip is returned by both the URLs, in my case its returning the same ip that means its not effectively proxving sites for me. Eximp |
