How do I stop sites from realising I am in Spain?
 

I have just moved to Spain and Google, AFF etc. think I am in Spain and give me spanish content - other than using a proxy how can I get around this?

Thanks

Move Back to the USA :thumbsup

UK........ and no chance - its great here

Just hard to check my stats when they are all in spanish :Oh crap

use a proxy is the only way. Very cool on the Spain thing where abouts? I was in Madrid and Barcelona last week and had a blast!!!

Tenerife - its great fun..... weather good all year as well

Hey how are the woman there?

yeah .. geoip :) well on sites as google you can just type google.com or .co.uk and they will open the English version

Strange, don't seem to have that problem here...

Usually I can always choose what language etc. I prefer.

If everything else fails - set up a VPN on one of your servers, or use a VPN Service, they usually are not that expensive.

Not my area of expertise - sorry :)

Joker I will hit you up tomorow if thats ok - I darnt turn on ICQ ATM - I will never get off it.

how are the apartment prices in Tenerife?

you bought something or rent?

how much for rent, what size?

there is a link on google search page:

Google.com in English


click on it and it will set an English cookie for you.

use webproxy http://proxy.org or use http://www.google.com/ncr for me it switches to english version ... but not sure how it works ;)

Now thats weird :eek7

Any hot twinks there?

u kno what I meant :)

Not into twinks - but yes - the place is alive with them......

Polish - Im renting a 3 bed for 400 euros a month - cheap compared to London - not to shabby either.

Bears?

...

Men only - no 'fags'

3 bed you mean 3 bedrroms and 1 living room or just 3 rooms, or somethign else? its sometimes hard to understand because in different countries it's called differently

btw how many square meters? 400 euro per month sounds really cheap for such an apartment though, especially in a place which is warm most of the year and isn't in a bad neighborhood :winkwink:

but i assume you need an extra 100 euros for bills?

got any pics perhaps? i could move there as well, although not too close to you :winkwink:

Straight men?

He is gay, wrong question to ask.

From what you are saying a proxy system may be the only option

You have option to choose for language, but http-tunnel is the best solution for what You need, just pay 5 bucks per month and You have done.

it's still counted as a proxy thing, but at least You don't need to set any proxy.

chears.

Terrible. Canary Islands are a nice place, but I couldn't stand the latino-looking woman and their stupid music they play everywhere you move. Makes you puke wherever you go :throwup

Would love to fuck one :)

polish_aristocrat ... In your apartment are the fire sprinklers on the floor? :1orglaugh

Just proxy ...

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Firefox will have a tendancy to serve shit in spanish, while IE tends to stick to english.

As posters have pointed out though, VPN or proxy are your best bets, with VPN being the better of the two.

I'm paying 750 for a studio apartment in paris.. 25m2 I believe.
And it's raining :D

do you have pictures of your place? 3 bedroom for 400 euro?
how do you like living there so far? where did you come from, UK?

400 euros for 3 bedrooms? WOW, that sounds great

WE WANT PHOTOS OF YOUR APARTMENT AND THE VIEW ON THE SEA (I wish) :)

:1orglaugh

Easiest way is to pay a tech $10 to setup tinyproxy on one of your US based servers and setup a restricted US proxy allowing access to your spanish IP. Dealing with public proxies really aren't worth the trouble obviously.

My girlfriends best friend moved to Tenerife last month. Her and her boyfriend work in a bar called the Dubliner. Her dad owns several appartments out there that he rents out. She loves it and isn't coming home anytime soon!

I will post pics when I finally unpack....... :winkwink::winkwink:

I actually do have sea veiws, but they are distant from the back balcony - nice sitting out there with the laptop.

The weather I would guess is like north Florida without the humidity and hurricanes.

Ross.... I havnt seen 'The Dubliner' up here - is she on the south of the island?

tinyproxy is great, and easy to setup, but a VPN has many more advantages over this....

you move a lot ;)

How are the manginas?

lol - I know - I think I will stay here though - I cant deal with the UK - u should get your ass over here - its sooooo cheap - duty free island.....

If you drink and smoke you cant lose here - what I save in cigs pays my rent and more.

I could live here with 3 AFF sales a WEEK!!!

Everything else is icing on the cake.

Tight :) .....

Google has a little "go to google.com" link in the bottom right area

Whatever I do I still get Spanish ads..... its often the ads that give the best results.

VPN on my US server is the way to go I think.......

Any recomendations for setting this up - its new to me?

Naw, the UK was my big move and I actually like it here. I don't speak Spanish and don't want to be one of those people that never learn when they move to Spain. Heck, it has taken me thing long to learn British English :)

I am suprised how ez it is - 6 weeks and I am 'advanced resturant spanish' - 6 months and I will be 'moy beuno' - lol - even if I cant spell in either language.... :winkwink:

Playa De Las Americas it is she moved to... not sure where that is, I've been before but it was 14 years ago when I was young and with my parents.

Welcome to "The Rock" :thumbsup
You in the South? Not in PLA for 400 p/m surely?
I've been in Tenerife 8 years and would never return to the UK.

I get pissed off with the geo sites that don't have an English option, usually just shut them down and look elsewhere. They don't seem to realise the amount of English speaking people that live in non English speaking countries.

Thats south - about an hour away......

I am planning on hitting the clubs down there next week :upsidedow

Yes, The Dubliner's in PDLA. A lively bar with an excellent live band that has people dancing on the tables all night. Don't go before about 1am.
