My Browser thinks I'm French
As I work for a French/Belgium company all our traffic is routed through servers in France. So when I go to some sites they think I'm French, and its getting annoying. Anyone know a trick to tell my browser I'm not in France.

Re: My Browser thinks I'm French
Nope, its one of the problems with DNS direction based on IP Geolocation.
However, google has an option to turn it off for them so your browser will only get the UK or US version but I can't remember what the URL is. Dan |

Re: My Browser thinks I'm French
On google tool box u can tell it to use english UK or that "other" english, how ever you will still get ur add's and such like in the server location. If you want to you can ghost youself, and then you can be in any location.
This is good for getting UK TV when over sea's |
