tackle Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I've never used a proxy other than once I tried proxify.com and managed to access a site I wasn't supposed to initially. Anyways so here's the rundown: I'm from sweden, but I currently live in hollywood. swedish national television has their programming online in flash format as well, but if I try to view it, it detects me not being in sweden and thus blocking me from viewing the content. Of course I tried what I've used before; proxify.com, but that never loads the video for some reason. My main question: I searched for "sweden proxy" and found a list of swedish proxies. What are they? Look here for what I'm looking at: http://www.aliveproxy.com/proxy-list/proxies.aspx/Sweden-SE Currently using google chrome, I entered some proxy settings hoping for a difference. Not sure I notice anything at all. How does one surf with a proxy? Does every bit of data have to go through the proxy once you use it? That's relevant if you want to view video and have to depend on a third party connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my own proxy server at home to reduce duplicate bandwidth and optimize web surfing.. It does really help when you're normally downloading big files or viewing lotsa pictures / videos... If you want to run your own proxy server in your home on your mac this would help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
