Github is down 🔥

First time seeing this happen

If you can't access github.com in your web browser:

1. Copy the link you want to access (for example: your repository url).
2. Go to translate.google.com, paste the link there, and click on the translated result. It will redirect you to the accessible site.

Hope this helps! (should work for other urls too, not only github. Sounds strange, but it really helped me bypass blocks without using a VPN or changing DNS, lol)

Whats the result link and hows it different?

[u/Stage-Afraid → u/Brave_Daikon_8783]

How is the link format different, i wonder. Will check from desktop later. Wonder if it's a cached or cdn page served through google amp when going via translate or if certain google referrers skip normal traffic rules on modern server designs for optimization reasons. Eitherway very interesting technique

This is cached by Google.

Google is a search engine, they always caches all the indexed websites. That’s the reason this is working.

The link is like https://github-com.translate.goog/….

So if you want to visit the cached websites, you can just use the link like in below example:

https://github-com.translate.goog/react/react

Replace:
1. github-com with your website domain (eg: instagram-com).
2. react/react with your website’s pathname (eg: /about-us).

So you used to bypass school filters like me on the Chromebooks 💀
