Yella 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I want to download something but the service uses technology that lets it know if I am in the UK or the US (the places that are "allowed"). It says it does this by IP address. Is there any way to fool this at all to make it think I am in the UK or the US? (Of course I wouldn't dream of doing anything illegal).

jonmayes 0 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Check out Torpark (google it), believe that can do this in a totally legal way Link to post Share on other sites
69 5 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Is it illegal to fool your IP address? Surely only if you do something naughty. Yella very clearly said he wasn't going to be naughty Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Its not illegal....I don't think. Look up a website called Smarthide, sorry I don't have the link but that should allow you to change your IP address Link to post Share on other sites
BillTheBinMan 0 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Interesting, I wonder if that would work with the BBC iplayer that lets you watch all the programs from the last week or so. I'll have to try that. Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 FFS, the spoof emails are ALL (or at the very least 90%) from email addresses that are either non-existent or not the one from which they are sent. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 They don't actually get sent from the mail that looks like sending them right? I thought it was just made to look like it is coming from the big name domain name rather than the crappy no-life spam guys site it is actually coming from. Link to post Share on other sites

spacefrog 0 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 it`s not spoofing.it`s called proxying You can use a proxy server in the uk to relay the stream thus fooling the bbc into streaming the content. This is not illegal, all you need to do is find a public proxy server in the uk, you can google for a list.Set your browser to use the proxy servers IP address and you should be able to do it.
