i hate lP based localized redirests like those for example on google, Mypoosoft and msn websites. They keep taking me to the localized saudi arabia page in arabic language where i always want the international version.  Problem gets worst them im using anoymizers, VSAT or VPN to bypass censorship.. bcuz then the redirects go to the country where my intermediate proxy is based in...any way to circumvent this...disabling automatic redirects in IE does not help most of the time..

I get the same problem here in Korea. There used to be some places on the Microsoft site where I'd get "trapped". Really pissed me off.

I do a lot of traveling around europe and i'm ashamed to admit that i only know a tiny little bit of Spanish, Yet when i pop open a browser i always end up with localized results even visiting .co.uk domains, really annoys me.
Handyman man?

use a US proxy address.. if u are in a "oppressive regime" country who wont let you bypass that national proxy, then use a utility like Hide IP platinum from
