hi,

i was surfing on the bbc website the other day and was amazed how many programs they offer online these days. since i'm a true anglophile i must say i got very excited about it.. untill i realized that one needs to be in the uk to be able to watch them.
if you want to try it, see e.g. bbc.co.uk/topgear

i wondered whether there would be a way to deceive the bbc server and make him believe that i am in the uk.. i imagine it could be possible if you could change your ip adress.

i found this site, http://www.iprivacytools.com/, that offers a program that seem to able to do this. but a) i don't feel like paying money for this, is there maybe a free option you know of, and b) i don't entirely trust this.

can anyone give me advise on this.

cheers,
köhnrad
 
the computer says no

thanks for the tip.. but 'the computer says no'. lol.

here's what i've done.. maybe i did something wrong. i first tried to use a proxy in my webbrowser (firefox). this didn't work, presumably b/c my provider uses a proxy.

then i tried to change the preference in mij real one player. i set up a uk proxy and it worked for surfing inside real one player, but somehow, mystically, the bbc server still recognised me as being foreign.

any more tips?

grtz, köhnrad
 
I dont know anything about them but... of course if all your data is not relayed through the proxy, then the other website will tell you that you are not in a valid country.

However... I can't really help more since this is where my knowledge stop in that era. For everything else there is Google.
