Anyway to get around a website that seems to be blocking requests from my area?

[aphex]

RyanAir.com is offering free flights to many places around europe (as long as your originate in Europe). Convienently their booking system hasnt been working since the day the sale started, the page comes up unavailable. I asked a friend to check the site for me back in the states and it works fine from there, so apparently they're just blocking ip addys from my area... Ive tried using anonymizer.com and notfred's version and both times i can connect fine, but i need javascript to actually order the tickets and neither supports that...

Any ideas?

you could let somebody in the US book the tickets for you...

Yah, im assuming that might be my only option...

I can't think of anything else if the anonymizers don't work.. I was gonna suggest that...

Try hitting it throught www.anonymizer.com

Maybe find a free proxy service... going through the proxy, it should allow javascript and stuff to work, and as long as the proxy is based in the US (or any other places that ryanair.com allows to order from), it should work for you.

I've got your answer!

Check out StayInvisible.com which lists tons of proxies, both secure and non-secure (non-secure are faster, but obviously not as secure, heh) that you can throw in your web browser settings to appear to be coming from a different IP address.

The list there is huge and is updated daily. I have used some and had no noticeable hit on browsing speeds at all.

Check it out, I think this is what you need.

I'm thinking it'll do the trick, definitely. The site is also useful for....other things, heh.
