Comment(by asn):

 Oh there is codez here. Nice!

 Some comments on the code:
 - You can just connect to 'https://www.google.com' instead of
 'https://www.google.com/ip' and
 `urlparse.urljoin("https://www.google.com/reg/";, reg)`.

 - Exception handling in `get_external_ip()` is kind of crude. Also, its
 callers are not prepared for it returning None.

 - Can we use flashproxy's normal `parse_addr_spec()`?

 BTW, while this script will work great for now, an adversary might be able
 to block it by detecting the SSL handshake of urllib2, in the same way as
 they currently do for Tor. Maybe the next step is to build a Firefox addon
 that does the registration through https://google.com?
