[Elyse]

You know when you want to watch a tv episode or a program online, but the website doesn't let you because you're not in Canada, the UK, or the US (or wherever)?

Steps from the video summarized below (Directions are for Firefox users):

1. Go to http://www.hidemyass.com/proxy-list/

2. Sort by country. For example, if it says you can't watch a program because your not in Canada, pick Canada from the country list.

3. Pick a proxy. You want one that's updated frequently and preferably has a high speed and connection time.

4. Copy your chosen proxy to your clipboard. (Ctrl-C for Windows. Apple/Cmd-C for Mac)

5. Go to your Firefox's preferences.

6. For Windows: Click on Advanced. For Mac, click on Advanced, look under Network, then go to Settings.

7. For Windows and Mac: Paste the I.P address in the appropriate proxy-type box. Type in the proxy's port into the port box.

8. Hit Ok/Apply if there. If not, just close the settings window.

That's it! When you're finished, make sure to check the box in that window that says: "Use System Proxy Settings" to use your own IP address again.
