getting around external link block?

[Steven]

A message board I read does not keep an archive of it's old posts, but
you used to be able to bookmark the pages and look at them as long as
the main board was open in another window, even after they were not
shown on the board anymore.

Now the board has blocked external linking. Any paged looked at from a
bookmark or by manually entering the URL (even recent posts that are
still listed on the board) cannot be accessed.

I was told there was a way to bypass external link blocks with spoofer
programs, but can't find any further information.

thank you

turning off referer logging in your browser so no referer is sent
usually works or change the referer your browser sends. if you use a
browser that doesn't allow that the proxomitron proxy can do lots of
fun and giggly things including mirroring the current URI as the
referer thus bypassing scripts that check to see if the referer is
their domain. http://www.proxomitron.info/

Thanks Brucie. I tried turning off Referer Logging in Opera and that
made even current posts not work. I'll try the proxomitron proxy.

I downloaded the Proxomitron. How do I mirror the current URL, I don't
see anything about that in the program? Thanks.

I see the program was already set to that. But I'm not even sure I
have the Proxomitron working properly becasue it's also set to block
pop ups, and I'm still getting those.

are your sure your browsers are using the proxy? open the log window
and browse somewhere. if you don't see the GETs and server responses
your browser is not using the proxy. if a popup is blocked it will
show it in the log window in purple as:

<start>[GET/response number] kill popup windows

for example this is what my HTTP GET/response headers are when first
visiting http://anglefire.com/

I have IE 6 set to use the proxy and the Proxomitron log window shows
no activity.

I just set up Opera to use the proxy and the Proxomitron log window is
now showing GETs and server responses. Unfortunately, I'm still not
able to get those old message board pages.

then you haven't set it up properly.

proxy server.... >advanced>type>http:>localhost>port>8080

That's how I have it setup. I am using AOL and I read on on some old
usenet posts people couldn't use Proxomitron with IE and AOL, but it
worked with other browsers. I tried Opera, and Proxomitron is working
with it (just not in getting those old message board posts)
