If your provider ban a particular site denying you to reach it, can you reach the site if you use a proxy server? ( using the same provider ).

Thanks.

yes.. the proxy would just have to be outside the network with the restrictions (offshore, canada, etc)..

i use an identical technique at the office so that all internet traffic off my laptop goes over an encrypted socket to another server, where traffic is proxied out (web, msn, email, etc).

Very good news. Here is the problem ...


Effective February 24th Midnight all Italian Internet Service Providers will be subject to significant fines and arrest if they will fail to comply with article 1, chapters 535, 536, 537 and 538 of the new Financial Law of 2006. The new rule obliges all ISPs to block Italian internet users to access all the domains listed by the Italian Legislator (read list here).

This is not the first time a European Country obliges ISPs to block access to online gaming sites. The Netherlands ruled something similar 3 years ago. While it is impossible to determine whether the new law will be applied to the letter, this drastic measure represents the fiercest attack ever brought to online gaming.

Insiders and observes tend to believe that the Italian Government is ready to begin selling licenses to authorized operators. Industry operators also believe that the new rule sets the grounds for the Italian government to raise funds through issuance of online gaming licenses.

Some operators confide having had their "geeks" work on solutions and workarounds to enable their Italian customers to continue to access their gaming portals.

I asked a couple of techs here, one told me that is possibile, another was not sure. Also they both told me that a proxy lower your connection speed. Thanks for your answer sir.

it is very much possible and as long as your proxy is on a fast enough connection with low latency, you should notice practically no slowdown..

since proxying your normal internet usage is unecessary, you can switch proxying on and off based on what host you're going to.. there is already a plugin for firefox to do so.

if you are going to login to your offshore account chances are you will need a proxy that support SSL (that is, so that you can access https://www.yourbook.com and be able to login etc) , if you are just going to view the lines etc a normal http proxy will do fine
