 Living outside the UK, I was beginning to tire of messages like "the content you requested is not available in your country". Here's an easy, one-time fix for all machines on your LAN.
The solution? Simply setup an automatic proxy config script, your UK-based webserver and putty. 1) Setup and connect a SSH connection (I use Putty) to ssh to your UK based webserver and specify dynamic port forward from (in this case) local port 8123. 
Replace bert:8123 with the name of your machine Add or change UK_HOSTS to include the websites you want to proxy 3) Set your browser settings on machines on your LAN to use to use the new script. 4) Bask in the glory of being able to use iPlayer, Spotify and countless other services from outside the UK. 5) Append query string parameter for override and for debug useProxy=true forces the current page to be proxied even if it's not in UK_HOSTS debugProxy=true logs out which proxy was used |
