626049 2007-12-31 22:59:00 If it was me, I'd just grab an anon US proxy from somewhere like Samair (www.samair.ru) and throw it in your own proxy settings...

Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> Lan Settings

Put a tick in the checkbox under "Proxy Server" and paste a proxy from the list in, and the port for it - then click OK, OK ...

You can test it by going here (http://whatsmyip.org/) - if it shows the proxy IP you pasted in and not your NZ one (203.xx.xx.xx) then you should be seen as a US surfer.

You can then just untick the checkbox to turn it off, and just turn it on when you want to view those pages you want to.

You may have to try 2 or 3 different proxys to get one that is still working properly.

Cheers - Happy New Year :)

626051 2008-10-29 05:13:00 Ok I'm back, I can't seem to find a single proxy that works, i am doing this on firefox portable but that shouldn't make a difference,

Mind you my AV/firewall blocks 90% of the pages i try to get to

626052 2008-10-29 07:32:00 Have a go with Hotspot Shield (free VPN service). I've used it to view streaming video which is only available in the US (i.e. via major television networks' websites). somebody (208)

Hey blam how does that second one work all i can find is a company giving away free .co.cc domains, which seems a tad dodgy, can't find any proxy thingies at all
