Reply to: Easiest Way to Spoof my IP Address?

For web browsing, you could use a web proxy like HideMyAss.

It won't protect you if you are doing anything really naughty, though, as it's an American company, IIRC.

Oh, you're one of those users. Sorry, didn't realise.

Ja, I need to get on with work not play with settings.

I use tunnelBlink, it's a fantastic VPN client.

In mac there's no such thing as having to change settings. It just works.

Tor can be slow and unreliable, though and has proven issues with the anonymity its meant to provide. And if you can't suss out an average off the shelf VPN then you're over your head with this stuff IMHO. Since when was changing Windows NIC settings a 'nightmare'?

You're answering a different question. I don't think Tor requires setting up an account or to have you fiddle around with you network settings like all windows users know, is a nightmare.

Don't you mean "simple way to hide my IP address" ?

I thought spoofing is to pretend you're on a given IP address that you want to impersonate. Not quite the same.

Yeah, he's looking for a VPN service or equivalent. As you say, spoofing an IP address is a whole different ballgame.

OP, this needs context to answer sensibly. Tor if you're trying to avoid being traced, VPN to get around geolocation or something simple liked unblock.us for Netflix and others.

Oh, and whatcha hackin into haxx0r?

Just want a simple way to spoof my IP address from my home PC. So that sites I use cannot log my correct IP address?

What is the easiest way?

Cheers

Expatshield?

Who uses this other than a UK citizen?

5,940,000,000 down, 60,000,000 to go

nope easiest way would be a vpn. Tor will merely make yourself interesting to others...

Tor is pretty good and you can specify your exit node so you can config the country you want to appear being in.

[eek]

That would be Tor Browser.
