Flickr is banned ....

[island_sands]

in the UAE!

Does anyone know a good way around it? sanso, i know you sponsored an anonymiser the other day but i cant find it. Apparently Yahoo Photos is closing down and they offer to transfer your photos to Flickr but i cant get access from here

flickr is owned by yahoo (You can use your yahoo! account for flickr stuff) and they're closing down yahoo-photos, because flickr ist more popular (and maybe better?)
Here's a list of proxies that You can use to connect to flickr. I've randomly tried a couple of them and they seem to work™ :t as most of them are based on the same small set of software they all offer about the same services and You can decide by the speed which You want to entrust Your connection to.

WARNING:Be aware that any information You send through a proxy will be accessible to - at least - the person that runs the proxy service!

• Don't do any online banking unless You want to donate everything you have on that account to someone You don't know.
• Don't send valuable passwords over untrusted proxies. (Yes, the whole internet has to be regarded as untrusted)

Here is a list of anonymizing proxies (Have You read the WARNING?): LINKS to proxies: links to free proxy lists and proxy checkers
