    Hey all, my uncle is coming over to Ireland in a couple of weeks and I'm trying to get BBC iPlayer to work for him.

    I've heard there is a way in which you can manipulate your IP address with Firefox?

    If this is possible could someone please help me out here

    P.S sorry if this is in the wrong section but i couldn't find anything more appropriate

    I have tried it once and didn't get it working. Don't change the settings on your firefox browser download firefox portable and use that instead
    Do if it doesn't work you haven't messed it up

    I have it working, get ToR from torproject.org. edit config file to ensure UK exit nodes. I had some trouble installing Flash to the portable Firefox, uninstalled my other FF as I mostly use Opera for normal browsing, had to download a couple of extra files and manually put them in some folder within portable FF to get it to work.

    I have an earlier thread in this forum about this, here , or PM me if you have trouble, I may not notice a reply to this thread.
