re: Can forced re-directs on the net be avoided? Saturday, May 17, 2008 at 9:37 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ari (1280 messages posted) They are sending you to the non-US versions of the sites because your IP address reveals that you're outside the US. One solution would be to browse through a proxy that *is* in the US, so that you appear to these sites to be in the US. Perhaps you could persuade a friend in the US to run Ipig server software on their server in the US, and then you would run Ipig client on your machine, and all your web traffic would be relayed through your friend's IP address. www.iopus.com -- and it's free. (You could even use Iopus' own public ipig server.) Ipig is just one option - there are lots of US-based anonymizers and proxy servers you could try.
