Whit this little hack, you can view any country restricted websites such as ABC’s streaming TV and the Worldcup in the BBC Sport. [via]
In IE -> Choose Tools -> Choose Internet Options -> Go to Connections (tab) -> Press LAN Settings (button) -> mark the “Use a proxy server for your LAN…â€Â? -> In the IP Address field, enter the IP (use 206.107.155.137 for US services, 62.171.219.179 for UK services) -> In the Port field, enter the port (US – 8080, UK – 80) -> Press OK (button) -> Press OK again (button).
Who the hell still uses IE and even knows what a proxy is?
how do you do this on Mac OSX?
note that using a proxy will greatly decrease your connection speed
i have tried this out yesterday and went on CBS streaming website. but it didnt work still.
to do this on a mac you need to go to apple => locations => network preferences => click on whatever has a green icon next to it => proxy’s tab
Search Google for “free proxies”, there are tons of websites that have lists with proxies on it, just look for the country you need and it has to be anonymous, so it doesn’t spill your IP!
Free proxies change by the hour, so you always need to look for new IPs, at least that’s from my experience.
