changing your ip address/watching RTE abroad

Although they only work if the poxy player works

RTE player is broken like usual, so you'll only be disappointed if you change your IP.

This stream is rte

nor have I. Looks like it'll be foreign streams again haha

Haven't got any proxys to work

Are there a list of other Irish proxy numbers in case that one above doesnt work come gametime.   Hate watching our matches on Vipbox and them other waste of time feeds. Plus we should be allowed to watch them in the north of the country

Yeah there's a list

You need to replace the IP and ports

In example above IP was 176.x.x.x and port was 80

So if you choose46.137.62.172 insert that and then in port remove 80 and use 3128

what about if you want to watch something on the BBC website, is it the same procedure?

soccerc Just need to find one that works now. Thanks a million.

Set up a proxy. 

I've included a known proxy server IP in the instructions below. It should work but Irish proxies are not always reliable.

Internet Explorer

1) Click "Tools" --> "Internet Options" --> "Connections" tab --> "LAN settings".

2) Tick the box that says "Use a proxy server for your LAN".

3) In the "address" box, type 176.34.211.30 in the "IP Address" column of the Proxy server list (including full stops, but not the colon.

4) In the "port" box, type 80
5) Click "OK" --> "OK".

6) Either close and reopen your browser, or simply open a new browser window.

7) Go to the site you want to use (RTE or whatever). If the proxy server is up and running, the site will load normally and you can navigate to the stream as you usually would. If not you will get an error message from your browser. If this happens, go back to step 1 and try another string of numbers from the list of proxy servers.

To return your connection settings to normal, simply untick the box you ticked in step 2, click "OK" --> "OK" and restart your browser.

Google Chrome

1) Click on the spanner icon immediately to the right of the address bar.

2) Click on "Options" --> "Under the Hood" --> "Change proxy settings..." --> "LAN Settings".

Now go to step 2 of the Internet Explorer instructions above and follow them.

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------

Firefox

1) Click on the "Firefox" tab on the top left of the browser window.

2) Click "Options" --> "Options" --> "Advanced" tab --> "Network" tab --> "Settings".

3) Select "Manual proxy configuration" from the menu.

4) In the "HTTP proxy" box, type 176.34.211.30 in the "IP Address" column of the Proxy server list
4) In the "port" box, 80.

5) Tick the box that says "Use this proxy server for all protocols".

6) Click "OK" --> "OK".

7) Either close and reopen your browser, or simply open a new browser window.

8. Go to the site you want to use (RTE or whatever). If the proxy server is up and running, the site will load normally and you can navigate to the stream as you usually would. If not you will get an error message from your browser. If this happens, go back to step 1 and try another string of numbers from the list of proxy servers.

To change your connection settings back to normal, repeat steps 1 and 2, and then click "No proxy". Click "OK" --> "OK" and restart your browser.

Safari

1) Click on the cog icon to the right of the address bar.
