perfidy

If you are in a repressive work environment, interweb-wise, here's a nifty trick from O'Reilly. Rather than use the rather obvious cloaking or anonymizing services, which are often themselves blacklisted by internal proxy servers and firewalls, use google:

The Google Proxy makes use of Google's translation service. Just enter

http://www.google.com/translate?langpair=en|en&u=www.forbiddensite.com

Where "www.forbiddensite.com" stands for the verboten URL. Google will return an English to English translation of the site. Which is to say, the original site. The connection to the bad site is directed first to Google, so the page won't be blocked unless your blacklist includes google.com. Which is unlikely in the extreme. The "langpair" parameter is set in the example above to English and English. You could, for example, set it to fr|fr to read naughty French sites in the original. Or, you could actually translate them. (In which case, the first variable is the original language, the second is the language you wish to translate into.)

Note, however, that this method of ducking blacklists does not hide your IP from the site you visit, as the cloak or anonymizer sites do.
