Default I play in WA state, but want it to look like...

How do I make it look like I'm playing outside Washington state?

i think your only hope is a proxy service or an anonymizer service. Im not sure either of those will work with poker software though. Anonymizer.com has some software that might help but like I said I dont know if the poker software will work with it. Their netsheild product might fit the bill. I used their anonymous surfing before when it was just a browser plugin all traffic went via a proxy they owned if netsheild does the same it might work. You should check with them.

i haven't used this personally, but i'm told it is a viable solution for poker.

all of your internet traffic will be routed through a secure connection, your internet provider will only see the encrypted traffic, while you see what seems to be a regular internet connection.

(i realize it is not a free solution, but it is a very user friendly solution)

Will this work if they force ISP's to block our access to gambling sites?

Yes, this should probably still work as well.

However, Washington State is not allocating any more resources (which means none) to find online gamblers. This is more or less just a piece of legislation to stir up people and act like something is going on.

Historically, ISP's are loathe to enforce these types of laws - think Clinton and the Clipper chip BS.

Personally I think you would want to hide your IP, that could be done by surfing through a special site or installing special software. Not sure it is legal though..

there is pretty much no way they'll be enforcing this, officers of the law have far better things to do. that said, it's better to be safe than sorry.
