I used the service, and the service determines my location with the |
| 8 |
utmost precision. |

I tried the following trick: an "anonymizer". Basically, I accessed |
| 11 |
web-based proxy services and in the dialog I inserted |
| 12 |
http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_my_ip. The list: |

| 14 |
The results: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
http://www.daveproxy.co.uk/ is identified TX (Texas), United States. |
| 17 |
http://anonymouse.org/ is identified as an anonymous proxy. |
| 18 |
http://www.kproxy.com/ is identified B8 (Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur), France. |
| 19 |
http://www.cooltunnel.com/ is identified GA (Georgia), United States. |
| 20 |
http://www.iphide.com/ is identified TX (Texas), United States. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and finally what I wanted: |
| 23 |
http://www.phproxy.org/ is identified H9 (London), United Kingdom. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Do you think on the day of the GP BBC will consider my location as |
| 26 |
London? Does anyone know by any chance some other web-based proxy |
| 27 |
services that would identify as from the UK? |

Here I have a problem. I already connect to the Internet through a |
| 34 |
transparent proxy managed by my University. I tried to use this proxy |
| 35 |
planet2.manchester.ac.uk:3128, and that after having established |
| 36 |
connection. However, any web page fails to download. Do you know if it |
| 37 |
is at all possible to use the above UK proxy address on top of the |
| 38 |
mandatory proxy address that I have to use to simply have an Internet |
| 39 |
connection? |

Again, my proxy problems: all content coming from the above site tries |
| 46 |
to access some funny port, and both mplayerplug-in and |
| 47 |
gecko-mediaplayer fail (when using either Opera or Firefox). |
