As I said, mate, works ok to get me on any sites 'blocked' by the UK Governmentstapo, it's a very user friendly proxy too, ideal for someone getting used to proxys... TOR (The Onion Router) is an amazing proxy too, if needs be...
No worries mate, here's a little trick you can do...in your usual browser, go on http://www.whereisip.net/ it probably finds your location pretty accurately, doesn't it? Now copy the link, go on hide my ass, paste the link into the browser...where's your location now? I usually get Amsterdam or Chicago, or somewhere in France, an excellent little tool to avoid the control freaks of the internet, isn't it?
Welly, if you use the advanced options on HMA, you can choose your location. They have servers in the Netherlands and Chicago, then I think Maidenhead, and presumably a french one too. If you want to pretend you're in a certain country, you can use the settings there to choose.
