Re: Proxy servers

I am a frequent user of Hola, another free service. While it does allow me to bypass any web filtering that may be present (for example, while visiting the Dept of State Passport Office in Dallas, recently, I found that they blocked access to this very own web site, for some reason, and using Hola, I was able to bypass the DOS proxy server to surf the TexasCHL Forum without worry), my main use is to watch BBC Television programs as if I were in The U. K., or to listen to my old Alma Mater, AFRTS as if I were still stationed in Turkey, or Germany, or to listen to FEN (AFRTS's Far East Network) as if I were in Japan.

Hola, especially with an Ipad or IPhone, is quite simple to use, and works like a charm.

As for tracking, who knows? I'm sure there may be a discoverable trace if someone really wants to find out my listening habits badly enough, but I don't own enough tin foil to make a hat that size!
