I've been researching for a while now on setting up a proxy server in Canada that would make my IP address appear to come from Canada (for poker playing purposes), but there doesn't seem to be a real clear way to set this up. I've also read that you have to trust the owner of the proxy 100% because they could compromise some of the sensitive data you would be sending through the proxy.

My questions are as follows:

1. Would it be possible to physically set up my own proxy in Canada, specifically Vancouver?

2. Could I pay a tech guru to do this for me?

3. How much would something like this cost initially and monthly to maintain?

4. Is the proxy 100% foolproof and would it be able to avoid detection from poker sites that don't take US players?

Thanks for the help.
