| tico506 | hello, I am trying to use my US streaming accounts on several sites while visiting Costa Rica... Geo Restrictions are blocking me. | 05:56 |
|---|---|---|
| micahg | tico506: that's normal and due to the sites in question | 05:57 |
| tico506 | I have been reading for a while and it looks like proxy services or even plugins on firefox might fix it | 05:57 |
| tico506 | yet I fear both safety and the integrity of such practices... | 05:57 |
| tico506 | any technical, moral and safety advice? | 05:58 |
| micahg | well, they generally have licensing agreements which prevent their streaming to other locales | 05:58 |
| tico506 | i know... I worked for Amazon video on demand for quite a while and I understand why that's valid | 05:59 |
| tico506 | I do happen to be an exception to that though as all of my stuff is def. US based | 06:00 |
| tico506 | I also understand that as support friends you might be restricted to not answering such requests... | 06:00 |
| tico506 | I was just reaching and hoping. | 06:00 |
| tico506 | if that be the case, can I look anywhere else? | 06:01 |
| tico506 | if not, can I get help on doing it? | 06:01 |
| micahg | well, there's askubuntu.com for support questions | 06:01 |
| tico506 | ok | 06:01 |
| tico506 | I much appreciate it | 06:01 |
| tico506 | one last one that I believe is not compromising: | 06:02 |
| micahg | tico506: BTW, in general, it's a bad idea to use a proxy you don't trust | 06:02 |
| tico506 | that's what I was going to ask | 06:02 |
| tico506 | is there a way to know? | 06:02 |
| tico506 | other than personal access to that proxy or knowing the admin? | 06:03 |
| tico506 | I mean, to know if it's trustable or not | 06:03 |
| tico506 | also, there are plugins that offer such feats... how do I judge them? | 06:03 |
| micahg | I can't really advise on that, maybe ask in #addons on irc.mozilla.org | 06:04 |
| tico506 | ok... @micahg, I do thank you so so much for your help. | 06:05 |
| micahg | tico506: good luck | 06:06 |
| toomai | hi all....sorry...is this the right channel to ask questions about thunderbird? | 10:03 |
| brokencodes | whats the problem, toomai? | 10:04 |
| toomai | brokencodes: in 6.0.2 the username and mailserver (server settings in account) are used for username to login into mailserver of ISP...but that is wrong. username whatever and mailserver vtx.mail.ch gives whatever@mail.vtx.ch as username to login, but I have another loginname fpr mailserver and I can not change it | 10:05 |
| toomai | brokencodes: the normal username is whatever@vtxmail.ch | 10:05 |
| brokencodes | Let me take a look | 10:05 |
| toomai | brokencodes: and for the love of what is holy and pure...I can NOT change it to that... | 10:05 |
| toomai | brokencodes: thanks | 10:06 |
| brokencodes | Toomai | 10:16 |
| toomai | yes | 10:16 |
| brokencodes | brb | 10:16 |
| toomai | thanks | 10:16 |
| brokencodes | verifying | 10:16 |
| brokencodes | Open Thunderbird | 10:17 |
| brokencodes | Select on home screen, Create new account | 10:17 |
| toomai | wait | 10:17 |
| toomai | sorry, | 10:17 |
| brokencodes | put in full email address | 10:17 |
| toomai | its on my fathers computer, I can not check in real time | 10:17 |
| brokencodes | lol | 10:18 |
| brokencodes | Ok | 10:18 |
| toomai | well, creating a new account I have not tried...it was an upgrade from 3.x to 6.0.2 | 10:18 |
| brokencodes | You have to enter the full email address first, before entering the server info | 10:18 |
| brokencodes | I did it 3 times, here | 10:18 |
| toomai | well, I check all over the place to make sure that is met... | 10:18 |
| toomai | checked* | 10:18 |
| brokencodes | my email being something@timmes.com, and the server being pop.secureserver.com | 10:18 |
| toomai | so its a bug then...*sighs*...because we simply upgraded without chaning anything (and it worked before9 | 10:19 |
| brokencodes | yep | 10:19 |
| brokencodes | glad me could help | 10:19 |
| toomai | thank you for your time | 10:19 |
