Make me appear as if I was located elsewhere

Hi there!

Some web pages require you to be located in a specific country, to view specific content.. In this case i'm talking about www.heroestheseries.com, where you can watch every episode of Heroes - IF you are from USA..
The problem is, that I'm in Denmark.. So I was wondering if there is a way that I can "cheat" my way to the page, so i appear to be at a computer in USA, and thereby watch the content?

Thanks..

Proxy? :D

Sorry, i'm not really into this stuff.. :o I don't really know how proxy works, nor what it's used for :P
If there is a way, can someone please direct me to or write a step-by-step guide? :)
Thanks..

EDIT: I just read a bit about it, and I saw this: "A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server"
So I figured that I could try to find a public proxy server located in the US.. i found www.emailthru.com and entered the URL to the video I wished to watch, but it still said that I need to be in the US :/

Proxies can be discussed at CF. We eliminated the rule against discussing them awhile ago. Go ahead and post your reply. :)

Why ban proxy talk if I can ask?

Get a lot of "hey I wanna DOS CF...whats the best proxies to use" threads come up often? :P
 
Proxy is simply a server that you can communicate through; if you're using a proxy, all traffic is relayed through it i.e. when you visit a site, they won't get your IP but rather the IP of the proxy you're using. Just find a proxy that's based in the US and badabim badabum - you're a good rolemodel US citizen to them!

As far as actually setting your browser up to use a proxy... what browser are you using? With IE it's located somewhere in Internet Option. In Firefox, go to Tools/Edit (I think it's in Tools in the Windows version) ->settings/preferences (forgot which one it's called in windows) -> Advanced ->Network ->Settings and then just select manual proxy settings (the settings are usually given at the website of whatever proxy you're using).
