spoofing or hiding IP address via my router?

[trellaine201]

I want to hide or spoof my IP address through my router......is this possible? or do I need a special router?

I have a component connected via ethernet to my router....and want anything communicated with this component to be spoofed or not known where it is

Thanks

When you hide or spoof your IP address, you are changing your sending IP address ... so they don't know YOUR real sending ip address ... If they don't know your real sending IP address; they can't communicate back to your device.

In addition, even if you are only looking at one way communication so you spoof the IP address, your provider knows your real address and know the IP addresses in your headers ... you could be in violation of their TOS.

If you want to hide your IP from the destination AND get data back, you need a proxy server, which can't be done on your router. you need an independent service.

I will be more to the point hehe and perhaps then you can tell me whether it can be done. I subscribe to directv. I want to be able to use their VOD/PPV and other things. This is all done via my internet connecting to their server. I rather them not know where its coming from

Is this possible?

You don't need hardware for this, the hardware just simplifies it for people who are computer illiterate.

As another poster has mentioned, you cannot modify your IP address. Even people who have illegal internet still have to obtain someone else's functioning IP address to operate (often by spoofing MAC addresses). You need a proxy/VPN service to connect to so your IP address is masked by that service. When you are stealing/sharing a TV subscription for your FTA receiver from an American company, you probably want to ensure that VPN is accessed outside the USA so they do not get subpoenaed for their subscriber information. You then configure your router to connect to the VPN and you will have your proxy in operation. You will evidently need to pay for a consistent service that is reliable and prices range from $5-10/month. The plus side is you can also download torrents/other illegal content online and will have that data parsed through that VPN. If anyone wants to sue you, they will need to resolve who you are from that VPN subscriber and that will be difficult if it is somewhere outside Canada/USA or some random place and then will need the additional hassle of after finding that out, to contacting your ISP to find out who that IP address is linked to.

I knew about cloakbox. I don't want to start adding stuff to my existing components in fear they don't work properly. And yes I am somewhat computer illiterate. I know the basics but setting up proxy vpn etc would be a huge chore I think

Oh well....I guess I will continue some research and see if I can figure something out.

Thanks

Hmmm your description is sounding like what Witopia offers? But yet they tell me I need cloakbox to get things working on my PS3/Xbox *shrug*

It is because you need to establish this within your router, not on the individual devices. PS3/Xbox 360/FTA usually don't have settings for VPN access. I think DD-WRT or Tomato allow you to do this so you can connect it through your router. If you router can't do it (and you don't want to install a custom firmware), just bridge your FTA to connect to your PC (add another ethernet card) and then connect to the VPN on your PC.

If this sounds like it might be hassle, I think you will be better off buying the cloakbox.

OP did not say he has FTA, he said he has a DirectTV subscription. Even with a VPN, I would not hook up a grey market satellite receiver to the Internet. Unless you have a friend in the US who can install a VPN server on their home Internet connection, DirectTV would find it extremely suspicious if they notice connections from your receiver using a commercial VPN ip address.

I will leave it for now. I am going to ask on some directv forums and see. Many cdns have directv sooo maybe I can find out.

Thanks

are we not talking about IKS here? Simply IKS is very risky even if you are located in Canada and are accessing DTV programming.

To my knowledge, IKS is not compatible with DirectTV. It does not matter anyways as IKS is getting shut down as we speak and operators are getting sued for millions of dollars. Even end users are getting sued as well for $10,000 a piece. $25,000 rewards are being given to anyone who submits information used to shut down IKS servers.
