US hide IP for Party

[O Twist]

Are there any good Hide IP programs out there that would allow a US player to play Party or non-US sites? Thanks

[Freakin]

can't do it with just programs. you need a server out of country

bump - just spotted this:

anyone have any thoughts/experiences with this?

From the website:

"Will I be able to access gambling websites from inside the US?
Yes. Many gambling websites block access to US customers. Simply select United Kingdom or Canada in the Select Desired Location box to bypass country access controls of any website blocking US viewers."

That sure sounds interesting.

And how would you withdraw your winnings?

it looks like this will probably tunnel your traffic to an IP in the UK or Canada and should work fine. I notice, however, that it says "Gambling websites" and "website blocking" and not "gambling software" and "software blocking". I dont know that this service is anything other than a fancy proxy.

Also, I will again reiterate that it is the stupidest thing in the world to use a shared-IP proxy/VPN service for this kind of thing

Freakin,
Yes I have doubts myself and was hoping a more knowledgeable tech guy like yourself would chime in. On one page of their site they talk about programs that work when you sign up for their premium service:

How would you sign up with a valid address?

I live in Europe but may be travelling in the U.S. for a couple of months soon. Is there a way of tunneling back into my own router using some kind of VPN? (lol just used a few terms I don't really know what they mean - help)

Windows XP VPN Server

Windows XP has built in functionality to set up a VPN server on your home computer. You'll need to forward port 1723 (and maybe port 500 & 50,51). Speed is bottlenecked by your home connection's upstream. This should let you effective SNAT your home computer's IP address.
