If you happen to have a server somewhere, you can set up a chain of two porxy servers to use with your Pandora when on 3G.
It works like this:
Install privoxy and ziproxy and configure them like this:
Ziproxy:
Privoxy:
Write your login and password to /etc/ziproxy/http.password (yes, plaintext sucks, I know) and you're done with servers.
Of all Pandora browsers I tried only Luakit works with this proxy combo properly: Chromium I don't know how to make behave, Firefox would crash way too often and Midori would not prompt for password.
In Luakit, you type
roxy
a
proxyname address
ort
And you can turn it on and off with
roxy command when needed.
For Debаin Lenny this would not work, because ziproxy 2.something is pretty strange - it would not chain and it is configured to run as root by default. In Squeeze it works fine.
