Unfettered Net Access

I am using the Firefox workaround to access blogspot. It does not work at the office (more complicated security settings, I think), but it works well for me at home and for other friends on their computers.

1. Download Firefox

2. Check the email I will send you.

3. The email will contain an attachment called "proxy.pac". Save the attachment to your C: drive.

4. Follow the instructions in the email to set your Firefox proxy settings.

5. Blogspot/Wikipedia/whatever to your heart's desire.

This will work on PC's and Mac's, though the friend's Mac that I set up did teach me that Mac's don't have C: drives. So, in that case, for #3 above, save it in your applications and when you get the part of the instructions in the email where it tells you to cut & paste something, use this instead: /Applications/proxy.pac. (I'll add this note to the email, too.)

Let me know if you need a hand with it.

ciao,
Serwat
