The EOS ICO is fast approaching.
About 2 days left until the Token Distribution. If you are in the U.S. you will see this..
There is no law or special reason for the blocking of U.S. IP addresses, but they companies choose to do it as a precaution. You can still participate in the sale as there is no way to determine source IP address from a blockchain transaction. In this post I will tell you exactly how to do it using Amazon AWS.
Log into https://aws.amazon.com
Go to EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute)
Select a non-US area in the top right of the page
Click "Launch Instance" and select the Ubuntu image
Click "Review and Launch" (everything should pretty much be configured)
Select "Create new keypair" then download the newly created key
In terminal
chmod 0400 ~/Downloads/keyname.pem(replace keyname with the actual filename)Get the EC2 instance's IP
Setup the proxy
ssh -i ~/Downloads/keyname.pem ubuntu@instanceIP -D 9999Open network settings in Chrome (or on mac open Network preferences)
Click advanced and change the SOCKS proxy and click Apply
Now you are browsing from Canada and you can visit https://eos.io and view the token information
