I used the service, and the service determines my location with the utmost precision. I tried the following trick: an "anonymizer". Basically, I accessed web-based proxy services and in the dialog I inserted http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_my_ip. The list: http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Proxying_and_Filtering/Hosted_Proxy_Services/Free/CGI_Proxy// The results: http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/ is identified TX (Texas), United States. http://anonymouse.org/ is identified as an anonymous proxy. http://www.kproxy.com/ is identified B8 (Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur), France. http://www.cooltunnel.com/ is identified GA (Georgia), United States. http://www.iphide.com/ is identified TX (Texas), United States. and finally what I wanted: http://www.phproxy.org/ is identified H9 (London), United Kingdom. Do you think on the day of the GP BBC will consider my location as London? Does anyone know by any chance some other web-based proxy services that would identify as from the UK? > If you want to have an IP address in UK you will have to use a proxy in > UK. You can find a list of proxies at > http://tools.rosinstrument.com/proxy/ Here I have a problem. I already connect to the Internet through a transparent proxy managed by my University. I tried to use this proxy planet2.manchester.ac.uk:3128, and that after having established connection. However, any web page fails to download. Do you know if it is at all possible to use the above UK proxy address on top of the mandatory proxy address that I have to use to simply have an Internet connection? > You could also find another TV channel with live video and audio > stream. There is a list of TV stations at http://wwitv.com/ Again, my proxy problems: all content coming from the above site tries to access some funny port, and both mplayerplug-in and gecko-mediaplayer fail (when using either Opera or Firefox).
