Problems with yad2

[Meir Michanie]

Hi Steve,
Please forward my answer to the group.
The issue is that Yad2 blocks traffic from outside of Israel. I have
dealt with it.
The work around is to use an israeli proxy.
I use ssh dynamic port forwarding to a pc in israel and set the sock
proxy on the browser.
