    Thumbs up FAKE my IP?

    Using the WebBrowser control, when I navigate to a webpage, can I change my IP to a fake one?

    Thanks

    What a devious idea. Would that prevent all those cussed pop-behind adds from showing up? I would think it might be doable, but through an API call. Be careful to reset your IP after sending.

    I would think it would stop anything being returned. IP spoofing is normally assoicated with nefarious applications and 'evil doers'. What are you trying to achieve?

    I don't know about low-level (beyond application layer) IP spoofing, but what you might want is a proxy server.

    Didn't see that. Hopefully he's either found his solution by now or given up.

    I use an anonymizer, something like this:
    http://www.opencity.us/

    Just type the web-site you want to visit, then click "GO"

    Re: FAKE my IP?

    Actually i found the solution. The Problem has been sorted out. Nothing like fancy code or web servers (proxy servers) and stuff.

    Just a few lines of code and i can change the proxy IP address as much as i want. And btw, it is not illegal. Read here for more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymi...ial_situations

    Thanks anyway
