IP disguise

[keith_mahoney]

Hi I am an American military member stationed in Europe. I have a netflix subscription to rent movies with. My membership also comes with 20 hrs of streaming video watch time. I cannot take advantage of this becouse I do not have a U.S. ip address. Is there any kind of rerouting site I can go through to log onto netflix and watch these movies?

i knew a mahoney when i was in.

anyway, if you're on base, they usually come up as having an U.S. ip. i know that's not the ideal place to stream videos, but it could work depending on how strict they set up site blocking.

also, if you're around the embassy, they definately have an U.S. ip.

A proxy, if you get yourself something that can run proxy's, find a list from the web, connect to the proxy and your basically running through their connection which goes to yours, basically disguising your IP address.

Yeah I would think so myself, but our servers are up at Ramstein and they definately have a German ip. Unless I go in and change the settings all the websites come up in Deutch.
At my house they are French.

Thank you "proxy" is the word I was trying to remember. For some reason I kept thinking portal.

Thank you
I downloaded this program http://www.anonymizer.com/
I have the free trial version right now. It allows me to log onto websites with a U.S. ip so I can watch my netflix streaming movies. The only draw back is it makes my connection really slow so the video quality isn't the best. But hey considering the turn around for DVD's from Netflix is 2 weeks I am not going to complain about a little loss of quality.

I will keep searching for a free alternative also.
