Next weekend there's an event that is geoblocked in the US so I want to use a proxy server to watch it: any recommedations for a free proxy? Didn't know if some are better than others or what. Or for better quality/speed, any that I can pay for then cancel & doesn't cost very much?

Thx

The event is the RedBull Rampage on Oct. 7th. It'll be aired on tv in December which is why it's blocked for Americans.

Thanks!

I use IE but have Firefox but rarely use it b/c it always says I need to d/l something for videos or whatever.

I think I read that proxies can be really slow so thought I'd ask about'em...

Worth doing, to unburden yourself from IE...

I've found a few sites that you can just browse through them & it hides your whereabouts so nothing to d/l or configure. Hopefully that will work*.

I've had no issues with IE so it's not a burden.

*Might not work as I put the redbull tv url into one of the browers & some of the page didn't show up. I guess RB has thought of this already... Tried it on 2 diff anon browser sites
