Redium

Automatically unblock medium articles through proxies.

What is Redium?
"Redium" is a Chrome extension that obscures geographic location to unblock articles on Medium. By redirecting the URL through trusted proxies (Google Web Cache, Scribe, LibMedium, 12ft.io), it bypasses region-based restrictions on content. Active by default on newly opened Medium tabs, it also supports manual activation. It delivers an unrestricted reading experience without collecting any of your data.

ℹ️ Google Web Cache and 12ft can unlock articles on websites other than medium.com. But they may or may not work 100% of the time.
