576447 2007-08-04 15:45:00 Well I don't necessarily want to be anonymous online but at least fool other websites into thinking I'm a different computer every time I choose.

Now I've tried using proxies but the problem I've found is that they're terrible when it comes to consistancy. What I mean by this is 90% of the ones I try to use are either amazingly slow or they just don't work at all. And I've found these proxies off lots off sites that are supposedly updated every day.

So are there any other ways to fool other sites into thinking I'm a different computer every time I choose, or maybe a program that masks my computer information and then displays something else to a website which it can then change when I want to appear as yet another different computer?

576450 2007-08-04 20:35:00 Proxies are the only real way, unless you're on dialup and get a different IP address every time you reconnect. somebody (208)

576453 2007-08-04 21:35:00 You could try the Tor (tor.eff.org/) plugin, or XeroBank (http:) browser but this wont solve your speed problem, these services tend to go at a snail's pace.

I'm not a regular user of proxies so I dont know many others.

Great for black hat activity weekends.

576455 2007-08-04 22:57:00 I checked out Tor but I'm a bit confused at what it actually does. I know it will change my IP address and encrypt my data but what about things such as the browser I'm using or my computer name and identifying information like that. Is all that information witheld or changed when I choose to appear as a different computer on Tor?

Basically anything that a game website can use to identify me needs to be witheld or changed when I choose.

576456 2007-08-05 12:11:00 use a dynamic IP address (in your router) that hasn't got a long lifetime.
Maybe set it to a few hours or something. as opposed to the 3 days or whatever the default setting is.
