Access thepiratebay.org from The Netherlands
Long story short: Visit The Pirate Bay through Me in IT Consultancy instead of typing it in the URL directly and you'll be able to download torrents again, because from The Netherlands, using Ziggo or XS4All, it's going to be difficult to access thepiratebay.org.
Short story long: With Apache, mod_proxy and mod_proxy_html you can make other website available through a Location on another website. If the web server is in a different region, chances are you'll be able to visit "blocked" websites.
To technically make this work, I used these ingredients:
- CentOS - I used 5, but 6 should work too.
- Apache - Just install it with "yum install httpd".
- mod_proxy_html - I created an SRC RPM for mod_proxy_html.
- configuration files - See below.
The configuration looks like this:
<VirtualHost *.80>
