Unnable to access websites do to my location


Is there a way to hide/block my IP address? I live in Canada and there are several websites that I would like to access but am not allowed because I don't live state-side and I get the "unable to to view due to your location", or something to that effect.

Mainly videos from NBC and Sci-fi, and the whole Showtime (sho.com) website.

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Unnable to access websites do to my location


hi
I have the same problem when I am at my lake house in Nova Scotia.
I will also be looking for an answer.
I get frustrated when I type in google or amazon and get amazon.ca etc.

regards
Gregg

You could use one of the many online proxy servers to get the website data for you...Google's your friend.

Gregg you could always VPN/Remote Desktop to your PC back home if you wanted as an alternate solution

You could always spoof your IP. I've never done that, but I'm sure a quick trip to Google will turn up whatever utilities you need to do that.

Proxy server... Thanks, now I know what to search for, I found my answer. I found this website that has many proxy servers: http://proxy.org

Apparently, firefox has a proxy extension, but I haven't tried that yet.

cheers.
