Nick H. Supervisor Posted July 21, 2016 Supervisor Share Posted July 21, 2016 You would use a VPN service. However I haven't used VPN seriously, so I'm in no position to be able to suggest a great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John. Subscriber¹ Posted July 21, 2016 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 21, 2016 As @Nick H. said, just use a VPN or proxy service.

xbamaris Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Lol... this sounds sketchy. Do your parents think you're going to college but instead your hiding out? xD Or are you lying to a girlfriend or something oldtimefighter 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+John Teacake MVC Posted July 21, 2016 MVC Share Posted July 21, 2016 Are you trying to get around Geo Restrictions or are you trying to spoof your location to say post on Facebook. If it is the latter and you have an Android device there is an app called FakeGPS that will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BinaryData Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I honestly feel this kind of behavior shouldn't be encouraged. I feel like he's lying to someone, and that bothers me. Lol. oldtimefighter 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted July 21, 2016 Veteran Share Posted July 21, 2016 Do you honestly think parents know how or where to look to gain a specific ip to be able to look at getting a location for said ip? I mean what service can a teen or parent subscribe to where it will reveal the public ip of a person on the Internet? This would be a business, service, forum, or something else they are trying to fool....not a parent or girlfriend, unless they are a moderator/administrator of the forum or service that this person is trying to fool.

+BudMan MVC Posted July 23, 2016 MVC Share Posted July 23, 2016 How about we just ask the OP what he want to hide his location from, most likely he wants to watch US netflix and he is not in the US. Then again its a 1 post wonder, prob come back and say oh I found this great vpn service you should check it out - here is the link... If he is legit and not some spammer and looking to mask his IP someone prob brought up how they are hiding their IP and now his tinfoil hat shrunk and its cutting off the blood too his brain and he needs to hide his IP too because the NSA is out to get him...

I agree it looks sketchy as people usually want to spoof a different country NOT a different state BUT... He could just be a Pokémon Go addict.

Agreed, but many of their IP's are getting flagged, forcing captcha pages to enter sites, which is rather annoying. This started happening about a month ago, so I hope they resolve it. +Anarkii 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BudMan MVC Posted July 23, 2016 MVC Share Posted July 23, 2016 "apt-get install openvpn-as" Yup that is how easy it is to get a vpn connection to anywhere you can bring up a vps. I have multiple low end vps in different parts of the US and couple in EU.. Not about hiding anything or geolocation.. More about being able to test traffic and other stuff from other locations. Normally I just ssh to them and do the testing I want to do, but if having a problem with say my normal isp path and want to test something that I don't have running on the low powered vps, I can just vpn to it and check the speed/connectivity that way since the path is different using different peers, etc. What advantage would you get from looking like your somewhere else be it IP or gps even for pokemon go? Could you "catch" other pokemon by faking out your phone gps?? If so I could see that as becoming huge. There are plenty of ways to run faked gps on your phone if its jailbroken, etc. BinaryData 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
