using a specific fake ip address?

seattlefan · 07-01-2008, 04:31 PM

Hello,

I am trying to test a feature on a web page that uses an IP lookup on its users. It will be used to target specific users from certain countries. For example, users from Honduras will get a popup, but users from Guatemala won't.

Can anyone help me determine the best way to use manually set my computer to appear that it's from Honduras to test this feature?

Thanks.

Simple method would be to use a proxy server based in the country you want to appear from.

I'm sorry but I can't really give more information regarding this, as this can be construed as attempting to bypass network security, which is a violation of TSF Rules. What I can tell you is: Google is your friend.

For now, I am going to close this thread. If you have any other questions which do not conflict with our rules, then please by all means ask away.
