Bah! It's not available in the UK. I'll have to wait until I get home to try this out by fooling it into thinking im somewhere else!

IP masking. If you surf the web through a US based masking site, it's usually enough to fool the sort of security they use on this sort of site. Not always, though.

It uses frames to display websites which it navigates to on your behalf (and show you extra banner ads at the same time). You should find em if you google. I don't need it often enough to have one handy.

As an AOL user, you must have noticed that you're somtimes routed theough a US server which means that watching stuff on the BBC website becomes a pain in the @rse... Basically the same thing...

You can also get software that does the same sort of thing, but I've never fancied installing what's basically spyware on my pc.

I stopped using aol about 18mths ago, so I musta missed that one. It's amazing though. Like someone in the boardroom sat down and wondered what they could do to make AOL even crapper. I know... lets sell to the worst high street mobile phone supplier in the country. That'll be ace!
