Possible Work Around

[dakinghund]

I am currently in the United States but I have an overseas drivers license and bank account. For an experiment I thought I would open an account and act like I was overseas. I choose the tighest site you all know the one and I was unable to open a real money account because of the IP address. How do I hide my IP address? Or better yet why can't I show them a wrong IP address so they really think im overseas? Im sure this is perfectly legal as a privacy issue. I think your IP address is private information? Am i correct? Somebody let me know and I will let everyone know how this works out. Maybe all you need is a foreign drivers license or some other identification such as that. Also you legal experts see anything troubling about this aproach?

Well, if you set your computer to send out packets with the wrong IP address, you'd never hear a response. I think what you're looking for is a proxy server. Trying searching for previous threads on the subject. People have mentioned using them before.

Actually, you need a VPN and not a proxy server. Party will send a UDP packet on a non-web port, which wouldn't get sent through a proxy. If you have ID and a foreign bank, all you need is a foreign VPN (and *possibly* a utility bill if they're really being tight, I've heard of sites asking for photo ID containing name, address, and date of birth + a utility bill before unlocking a new account but there were other issues that prompted that action).

Feel free to PM me if you have further questions in this area.
