Location of PC according to the internet?

Question

Is there a proxy or another way i can use to make my computer appear as if i am connecting from the USA?. So if i go to a website it seems as if i am in the USA.

Answer 1

The question has nothing to do about retrieving his IP address, read the questions better.

Yes you can proxy off a US based proxy server to give that impression but if you're trying to fake your way into the download section of something protected by export laws don't bother they already check to see if you're doing that.

Not all proxies forward the source IP either.

Answer 2

Your machine IP reports the country you are in, the proxy will carry this info over so that your browser can see the correct country layout. Why would you want to anyway, unless you are doing something illegal.

Answer 3

Do you mean you want your IP address?

What is an IP Address

An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.
Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However, connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to avoid duplicates.
The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network. Four regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC, LACNIC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following three classes.
· Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks
· Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks
· Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks
The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.
