Title: proxy. Post by: Kenrick on April 12, 2006, 05:50:13 AM Okay here's the deal. I live in Austin, and I want to watch Astros games, except it seems that there's less of them on TV here this year than in previous years. I have access to a friend's mlb.tv account, but since I am in the "Houston market" I can't watch the goddamn games on there either due to blackout restrictions. Now, I know there's a way of getting around that using proxy servers, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. What I'm asking from you fine ladies and gents is a simple set of instructions that a retard like myself could figure out. I'm at my wits end. :sad_panda:
Title: Re: proxy. Post by: Trippy on April 12, 2006, 06:49:53 AM Do a Google on "anonymous proxy" to find lists of proxies which are generally out of date so it may take a bit of poking around to find some good ones. Pick one that looks reasonable and configure the connection/network settings of your browser to use that proxy. If that one doesn't work try another. Or if you have a good friend that has his own Unixy server somewhere outside of Texas you could ask him to setup a Squid proxy for you to connect through.

No. All modern browsers have built-in support for proxies but you have to find a working proxy outside of Texas to connect to (or at least outside the Houston area, whatever that means).Title: Re: proxy.

If anyone does know of a good one to use let me know. :-D Title: Re: proxy. Post by: WayAbvPar on April 12, 2006, 11:29:34 AM It would save you time and heartache to just find a good team to root for :evil:

Post by: Kenrick on April 13, 2006, 06:12:59 PM Corrected sequence was actually: I don't care what it's called -- it's a 10,000x more enjoyable place to watch a baseball than the Astrodome ever was.

Stupid sports. :mob: |
