I am from Hong Kong and I would like to buy books from Readmoo. But there are some region restriction on the site and therefore I tried multiple methods.

VPN (Not working anymore)

Initially, FlyVPN free account works until recently. Therefore I need an alternative method.

Proxy

I found that this method is easier. You can choose one of the two options below:

  1. Firefox (Link) + FoxyProxy Addon (Link)
  2. Google Chrome (Link)+ SwitchyOmega Addon (Link)

I’ll provide the guided tutorial for the Firefox option. After the installation, open the Free Proxy Website (Link). It will look like the one below:

Screenshot of the Free Proxy Website and copy the first entry of IP address, Port and Protocol

Then go to FoxyProxy icon and select Options

FoxyProxy Options

Select Add

Add Proxy page in FoxyProxy

Enter Title (Optional), Proxy IP, Port, and select Proxy Type. Then select Save & Edit Pattern

Select Save & Edit Patterns afterward

As I only use this Proxy for Readmoo, I am going to create a whitelist for Readmoo only. Please enter the information in the following red box and then choose Save.

Add Readmoo into the whitelist (indicated in the red box)

Then, go back to the main page and select Use Enabled Proxies By Patterns and Order

Select Use Enabled Proxies By Patterns and Order

Lastly, open a new tab and surf Readmoo website. And don’t forget to turn off the proxy when you are done.

Turn off the Proxy Setting
Turn off the Proxy Setting

Thank you very much.
