Getting an IP address in the states ?

[CAROLYN MATTHEWS]

Hey Jason, I am wondering if you can help – there was an article in either the IL mag or on line about how to use/get an IP address that shows you are in the US but are really somewhere else in the world. can you help me find that article or clue me in on how??
thanks

Hi Carolyn,

I can help – I wrote that article. 🙂

That particular service is called HideMyAss.com

But there are many VPN services out there that are pretty good – a Google search will yield many – just check out reviews too to make sure you get a good one.

Basically the VPN will show your computer as being in the U.S. no matter where you are in the world. This allows you to view some content that is restricted outside the U.S. due to copyright. As I stated in the article, some people use it to show they’re in the U.S. for telecommuting jobs that require them to be in the U.S.
