easiest way to access web sites that IP block US?

[Self Made]

What's the easiest way to access web sites that IP block the US? I don't need to play poker on overseas sites, just visit some web sites. I need access to non-US poker sites periodically to maintain some information on them. E.g. a Firefox extension which could switch between regular and non-US proxy access at the push of a button would be good, if it exists. I should appear to be coming from a non-US ISP, perhaps an EU country is best.

There are alot of options, some maybe easier than the two I'll suggest, but they are what I'm most familiar with.

Tor would probably be a good option.

An easier but usually slower option would be Torpark, which is a lite version of Firefox with Tor built into it. Both options are

I would personally set up a VPN for any sensitive data from you. If it's just browsing with no passwords of any kind, go to proxy.org and select one from the list until you find one that works.

For best results you may want to check lists like this:

You will probably have to go all the way through the list to find anything fast. The problem with proxy.org is that you can't access all parts of all sites with 99.9999% of those proxies.

I used the instructions here to set up Firefox to use a European proxy server. Unfortunately, I can't access any web sites. I get the following message in my browser:
