Title: In need of a good proxy server...
Post by: Corsair on August 29, 2010, 11:51:14 pm

Hey all, it's been a while! I have a quick question for you... I'm about to depart on a big adventure to go live overseas (i.e. not in the US) and was hoping somebody around here could recommend a good proxy server (preferably free) or other (also free) method of spoofing various websites into thinking I have a US IP address when in fact I'll be somewhere in the Middle East (or Africa, or Europe... who knows?). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

do you have any friends/relatives and an old computer you are not using right now for anything?

Doesn't have to be just sitting around doing nothing, it just has to be always on when you'd want to be using it.

install appache on it, then install something like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I2P or anonimizer. you are also going to want to get dynamic DNS.
