Question BEST WAY TO HIDE MY IP IN ORDER TO ACCESS US SITE

My girlfriend is trying to access www.abc.com but it says you can only watch the vids if your in the US (guessing it checks your IP and knows that your server is based in the UK)

Question is.. How can you get around this? Downloading a hide IP program doesn't seem to work

Any ideas?

Cheers

Anchor Free is a good solution also, I use it quite often:

you can also get a list of free proxy addresses from google
Just put them in the internet options / LAN part & hey presto
Most NTL/ Cable customers have to use proxy setups by default to access everything.
Depends on the ISP though.
