I don't use firefox any more but they have a chrome extension so I'd guess they have one for firefox too - I use a vpn called Windscribe, it gives you a decent amount of traffic for free (like 3gb a month or something, I've never got close to using it all), and has a browser extension that lets you switch it on/off and change the destination country your connection will appear to be from on the fly. It's been useful for UK site blocks among other things.
As of right now I can still access the TX site without vpn, I guess Virgin haven't activated the block yet.
Just checked and there is that extension for firefox too, don't know if I will add, but thanks for the tip, I will save the name in case I ever want to give it a try

Ok, I have one question. I see and read that some got there switch bricked by trying to update fw on sxos 2.9 ok.. but I also see that some brick there switch triying to update there emunand fw to 9.0 from sx 2.9. I don't see how that's possible. In my understanding, (limited understanding) emunand don't touch the sysnand. So should it not just be able to delete the emunand then, and create a new emunand from sysnand. I feel lucky, because this seems to be ok for me...
Ok the question, do emunand affect sysnand??
It's already explained a gazillion times... if it's the emunand that you are updating, yes, the console won't brick, its just the emunand that gets screwed, if your emunand got corrupted and you have a backup of it before updating, just replace the files in the mSD and will work back to the backup state... in case its the sysnand I have no idea if it breaks it or not since I won't read the whole thread, but maybe it will brick the sysnand if updating it offline using SX OS 2.9 with choidujour so it would probably need a backup to fix too and restore it...
But as explained before a million times, just
use SX OS 2.8 to update emunand to 9.0 with ChoiDujour, then turn the console off and replace the SX OS 2.8 with 2.9 (boot.dat) and should boot fine...
It's the SX OS 2.9 that isn't working good with choidujour...
And anyway it's also said TX will update I think the installer if I remember well and will support FW upgrade so ppl can also wait for it or wait for a better SX OS version (with more bug fixes) as I don't think there's much to win in updating emunand to 9.0 at the moment, last game I just tried was GRID Autosport and installed the update all downloaded from the internet and its working fine on the older FW and the game released only a few days ago...
ps: And as always
BEFORE UPDATING EMUNAND\SYSNAND, ALWAYS DO A BACKUP OF THE LATEST ONE YOU HAVE TO KEEP ALL THE LATEST DATA SAFE, this will prevent a lot of headaches in case something goes wrong, so its a good practice to keep making backups from time to time or each time you will do a major update, remember there was also modified\made software to brick the console software on purpose, so you never know when a brick will happen, you might download a warez game and get a brick or some other crap if it was modified to brick it (sadly, yes there are malicious ppl out there even in the console hacking community...)...
