Yes, use Freecap, redirect your traffic to a proxy that you wrote yourself. Alternatively, you can use my proxy linked in this thread, though you then have to trust me (or understand the source code that is included there).
If you're really unsure either way, just have patience and try to play as if you'd never heard about it. It will be resolved automatically for you when the next patch goes live. If it irks you too much, try some of the solutions in this thread.

Oh I remember that time. It was fun, I did provide access for two entire raidgroups of friends on Dun Morogh and Senjin via openVPN proxies over one of my servers. It was a detour which about doubled the physical distance for almost all of them, since I am in Switzerland and most players were German. However it bypassed the congested links in the backbone and reduced their raid-latency from 5000-ish with multiple disconnects down to ~300 and allowed them to raid.
