Hi all,
I'm looking for a "water-tight" method of hiding an IP address in place of another one. The connection is purely for http access but we want to appear at different locations (of the same country).
So far we have (succesfully) used a few VPN services to achieve this but as the number of UK servers is apparently limited (and are apparently concentrated in Maidenhead) we are now looking at alternative ways to do this.
Proxies were suggested to us and our first attempt using FoxyProxy in Firefox somehow lead to our real location being detected. We cannot be 100% sure if this was due to our error (although a couple of the "what is my ip address" -type websites reported the desired proxy location not our real one?) Hence why we proceeded believing that our real location was hidden. We are reluctant to try browser configuration of proxies again without some good advice
So what we're looking for is a recommendation of either a good VPN service which offers UK servers in multple locations (no specific encryption required as no sensitive information is being transferred, shared rather than dedicated is fine) or a robust method of proxy connection that does not reveal our real location - is a proxy connection possible at a more ground level rather than just within the browser?
Thanks in advance for all replies!
