Google for something called "Tor Browser". This
is free also and allows to hide the ip address
for unblocked browsing. It is bundled with
Firefox and therefore works fine with jaws. It
can even be run portably from a flash drive. the
installed version also allows for instant
messaging, I think but i have never tried that part.

Hi,
Accessing programs might be a little tricky once you've connected to
Hot Spot Shield. For example, I could not use AIM when the shield was
running. I guess it wouldn't connect to the AOL server. So what I had
to do was connect Aim and then run Hot Spot Shield. As far as
unblocking websites goes, it works like a charm, although I haven't
had to use it in quite some time.
If for whatever reason it doesn't work for you, you can try another
similar program called Ultra Surf. It's free and a google search
should turn up a download link.
