Proxy

How to view some websites which are not viewable in other countries.
Say for example you want to watch some videos in BBC website
you might come across this message

Non-UK users

Unfortunately you are unable to access this content. This is offered only to audiences in the UK.

Inorder to solve this ,
  • Install Firefox latest version http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/personal.html
  • Install add-on foxy proxy http://foxyproxy.mozdev.org/downloads.html
  • Once you install the add on foxyproxy to the Firefox,Search for Proxy list in Google,you will get many proxy sites with their ip address and port number.
  • If you see on the right side corner of your firefox screen,FoxyProxy disabled with red strike on it.Just click on it and give name and move to the next tab and copy paste the ip address and port number of the proxy list.Click ok ,you get a message ignore it and click OK
  • Now try to access the BBC site or anyother website which you want to gain access to it.
Note:Since you add the foxy proxy to the firefox browser ,the proxy will work only for this...If you are using IE or Chrome it will give your actual Ip address not the proxy Ip address
