Ninjakreborn Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 When your doing something with PHP with an external system they can pick up the IP address. How can I change it with PHP with each request. I am using Yahoo's API and they kind of restrict based off IP. How can I change that with each running of the script?

ToonMariner Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 its called spoofing - if you google for 'spoof my ip address' I am certain you will get some info. note some ISPs don't like you doing this. You could look at cycling through a few proxies but if what you are trying to do is monitored by some web service and will be blocked on detection there a reason for it; along the lines of 'don't do that - we don't like it'...

trq Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Its also likely to be of little effect if your using an API. For instance, if you make a request that expects a response, the response will be sent to the ip address you spoof. Therefor, the API won't work. Not much you can do.

ToonMariner Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 You can get around that issue but it involves tricking other machines than just you and the service in question - and this is much skull-duggery and, I'm sure, illegal at some juncture.
