How to bypass varnish cache on client?

Question

I'm trying to get new content from a Joomla website or Yii web application, and we're using varnish on server side. How to bypass varnish cache control so that I can get the new content?.

I tried to add ?cachebuster=9999 to end of url but it's not working.

I can get the new content only when I'm using a proxy.

Any idea?
