Proxies and Blocked Internet Radio!

[Michael Alexander]

Here's a challenge for the Computer nutters out there....

I have been battling....

About a year ago, I used to listen to the Scottish Radio Station CLYDE 2 on the internet. I used Radio sure to listen to it. My father used to enjoy listening to it also....

Anyhow, They have now blocked the streaming audio to everyone outside of the British Isles....

I know that there is a way to still listen to it, but without using Linux or a proxy services that you have to pay for....

Can anyone out there figure out and test how I can continue listening to CLYDE2 free....

com'on it; s a challenge.....

If you solve it, I will give you a Karma point every day for 15 days.....

 Buy Linux or a proxy service and then all will be well

You will have to explain this in more detail for me....

Fire fox...preferences ... advanced....network.... settings... manual....http proxy.... enter the numbers... ok...
Then surf to Clyde 2.... slow to load but plays ok after that...

Set back to no proxy for your normal surfing...

Way too Go Stennie, this makes a mockery of the legal system trying to restrict the service to mainland UK only.....

I will wait till Ally Bally is on on Sunday..then send them an email from Namibia, quoting their last song and wait to see how they deal with that one...

I knew there had to be a way, I just could'nt find the free proxy , they all gave 3 days trial and then wanted to charge you.....

Great Stuff Stennie...

Got one or time outs after I stopped it and started it again... just refreshed till it worked.
Not sure if the proxy changes after a time... might have to use others till it works.
Some proxys were very very slow or would not let me in..

I have been listening to the stream on CLyde2 now for 23 minutes, it has'nt dropped once...

I have three Firefox windows open, and have reset the setting back to NO Proxy and not touched the window that is streaming Clyde and i am surfing my normal sites with the usual speed and Clyde is playing merrily away in the background......

Tempted to pour my first dop of the day...... or should I hold out till 2morrow.... see the neighbours are braaing, could always gatecrash.....

[Mike Stenson (RIP)]

Hope it keeps going.....
