As @Nick H. said, just use a VPN or proxy service. 

 

PC Advisor has a review of the best VPN services here: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/test-centre/internet/best-vpn-services-2016-uk-best-vpn-reviews-vpns-explained-3641578/

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.

You never really know. I mean, a friend of mine has gps tracking for his kids. I'm just saying, it feels sketchy.

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...

There is an NSA/GCHQ Program that allows them to be ANY IP address in the world ANYWHERE....Maybe the OP could use that :shiftyninja:

Private Internet Access.
I use it myself for over a month now and its perfect. Fast speeds, multiple locations all over the globe, doesn't save any logs, that's what you want.

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. LOL

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. 

"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.

Not everyone is as savvy as you are, BudMan. If they were, this world would be better off.. :)

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
