first attempt at network proxy

This is how you could get around the mlb.tv thing.

What you do is reroute your internet traffic through another server somewhere else, and mlb.tv thinks your in another place.

Here is a quick example. These images are both from my laptop in the last 20 minutes while using windows 7 snipping tool(very nice).


Above is my internet without using a network proxy. It got my zip code exactly right.

Below is after routing my network traffic through a net proxy. As you can see, they think I am in texas. Is it magic? Did my laptop travel through space and time going to texas and back?

the short answer, yes

  1. To get this with fast internet, you'll have to pay, which kinda sucks. Also, mlb.tv blacks out all weekend games starting after 1:10 on saturday and 7:05 on sunday.

    pretty lame

  2. Well, they do post games for watching after they have been shown. You can watch any game after it is over even if it was blacked out.
