Quick workaround for the CrossFit Games stream geolocation blocking. For some reason, the Games site just loads some JS from an external provider, so we just inject our own non-US result there via a Python webserver.

cf-games.sh

#!/bin/sh

FOLDER=cfgames_locationfake

# Ensure we're able to use sudo
amiroot=$(sudo whoami)
if [ "$amiroot" != "root" ]; then
  echo "You must have sudo permission to run this script."
	exit 1
fi

# Point to ourselves
echo "*** Backing up & modifying hosts file"
sudo cp /etc/hosts /etc/hosts.backup
cp /etc/hosts ./hosts
echo "127.0.0.1	j.maxmind.com" >> ./hosts
sudo mv ./hosts /etc/hosts

# Create the geolocation faking script
echo "*** Creating geolocation fake script"
mkdir "$FOLDER"
cd "$FOLDER"
mkdir app
cd app
echo "function geoip_country_code() { return 'non-US'; }" >> country.js
echo "function geoip_country_name() { return 'non-United States'; }" >> country.js
cd ..

# Load up a webserver
echo "*** Loading server. Use ^C to exit"
sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

# Once the user has stopped the server, clean up
echo "*** Cleaning up"
cd ..
rm -rf "$FOLDER"
sudo rm /etc/hosts
sudo mv /etc/hosts.backup /etc/hosts

exit 0
