Get around web blockers instantly!
Redirectron Extension
Redirectron makes it easy to evade the dreaded \"Blocked Request\" page of your School or Workplace.
How to use:
Whenever your attempt to access a website is blocked, simply click the icon or press Alt+Shift+R, and the blocked site will be sent around the blocker through the proxy filter of your choice.
To change the default proxy, right click the extension icon and click \"options\".
FAQs:
1. Where can I see the source code?
Right Here: https://github.com/TheGuyWithTheFace/Redirectron
2. Why on earth do you need the \"tabs\" permission?
Oddly enough, it's required for the keyboard shortcut. Think I'm doing something wrong? Have a look in the source code!
3. Who made that fancy icon?
Alas, not I. A friend of mine, Kevin Rabinovich, is a designer, here's his site: http://kevinrabinovich.me/
DISCLAIMER: You and you only are responsible for your actions when using this extension. If you get in trouble, that's your fault-don't come crying to me.
