Coral CDN (content distribution network) might be the solution if you can´t reach a website because it is either blocked by an administrator, slow or even completely unreachable. Filters and restrictions become more common on the Internet. Schools and workplaces blocking access to unwanted sites and networks is a prime example. I can understand that a company does not want you to surf at websites like Ebay during work time but what about breaks ? What if you are in school and some class did not take place and you would like to check your mail accounts ?
Corel CDN caches websites thus making them available even though the original website might be off line or blocked. To access a website you simply append .nyud.net:8080 to the url. For ebay.com it would be therefor: http://www.ebay.com.nyud.net:8080
You unfortunately have to append this manually to every url you want to reach. That is, unless you are using firefox. Coral CDN offers a firefox extension which allows you to either Coralize this page or Coralize this link which means that you do not have to append .nyud.net:8080 manually to the url.
Finally they also offer a bookmarklet which should be working with Internet Explorer, Opera, Firefox and Safari as well. Drag the bookmarklet to your bookmarks and use it from there.
Please note that I can´t guarantee that you will be able to view the cached page and that this probably does not work with dynamic or personalized pages. (Email, Ebay account)

Slashdot community has been using the coral cache ever since it came online. It’s a great tool that allows people to get into the sites that were shlashdotted, digged, boingboinged or farked :)
Slahsdotter firefox extension actually has a feature which inserts a small [CC] next to every link on the page – when you click on it, it takes you to the Coral Cache of that link.
This is great can actually find what im looking for on the internet while looking for at school, they just invested in one of those infinity filtering systems…
Love the ability to add an extension to reach an inexplicably blocked website. But as for Firefox? It’s the slowest browser I’ve ever tried on my computer. I’ll stick with Avant.
