Yes, I'm splitting an infinitive and no one can stop me. BWAHAHAHA

I was shocked to see that Pandora was blocked, so I had my mom set up an SSH Tunnel so that I can get an American IP address. For those of you who don't know, SSH is a kind of protocol that allows you to log in to another computer via an internet connection. Once logged in, you can do various sorts of things; for my purposes, I'm using it to get the same IP address as my mother's home network.

It's a very easy process--she's not very computer literate, so I guided her through the steps--and now not only can I use Pandora, but I can watch t.v. on NBC.com, Hulu, and various other America-only websites. Brits can use this to get the sacred BBC iPlayer.

There are step-by-step guides online:

I hope other people on this board find this useful.
