Anybody ever used this. Maybe it could be useful and easy way using a proxy to get around certain video sites blocking users access e.g. BBC i player etc. any opinions or feedback on it? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2464

You'd have to find a working proxy first.

You might want to check out Tor. It works well with Foxy Proxy. Of course it can be pretty slow, so it probably wouldn't be the best choice for watching videos.

There are plenty of proxy services out there though, which, as long as you are not really worried about anonymity, will work pretty well.
