You can set up a server in AWS that has something like Squid running...then all you do is point your browser's proxy settings to that server.


If AWS is too expensive then you can do something like digitalocean's $5/mo plan

I will suggest two things:
  1. Your 'associate' will be attempting to circumvent governmental restrictions, and if they're caught, they WILL BE PUNISHED
  2. You read the LQ Rules, and pay particular attention to the part about posts regarding hacking/cracking (which is essentially what you're asking)
Bear in mind that I, personally, do NOT agree with any form of censorship. However, if your 'associate' is in a foreign country, they need to obey the laws whether they like them or not.

I agree, some of those places take a dim view on breaking their laws. Teaching anyone how to do that would be risking more than a slap on the wrist.
