    Well, I really shouldn't be telling you this . . .

    You'll have to engage the special super secret IP cloaking bit. To do this you'll first need to make sure your ethernet cable has a 12 micron coating of unobtanium (not the standard 9.8, mind you). Next you'll have to bypass the fetzer valve in the third jefferies tube (it'll be obvious which one it is, it's labeled "GNDN"). After you do that you'll have reversed the polarity of the neutron flow and your IP address will be completely hidden (well, except for a small ion trail, but they'd have to have installed the stellar survey patch to ethereal to detect that).

      Can't you just use LWP::UserSecretAgent?

        That'd work in some cases, but then you might get caught if they're using Blofeld encryption (and they then could use the goldfinger utility to trace it back and you'd have to Expect your process to die).

        I'm pretty sure Net::Mossad could do the job though.

        You might also be tempted by Net::Cloak, however, beware that you're liable to be stung by Net::Dagger in that case.

        Just my 2 cents, -gjb-

        Ah, but then, Mr. Phelps, if there were a bug in the code, you'd be fired and your former employers would deny all knowledge of you and your actions. Then your perlmonks account would self-destruct in ten seconds.

      You must surely mean neutrino flow

        Depends. The neutrino flow in the Jeffries Tube, or the neutron flow in the Unobtanium?

        And I'm not sure how Schroedinger's Cat is going to take the change in the Schwartzian Transform.

    You can't do that - no more than you could with a browser.

    Actually, that's not completely true: you can hide your IP by connecting through a web proxy. But that just oves your problem one stap away: now the proxy knows your IP. If the website doesn't like what you're doing with ther content and decide to block you, they will simply block the proxy instead of you. That means that not only the administrators of the proxy, but the other users of the proxy will be mad at you.

    Hi freak,

    as you might have noticed, people started to behave 'strangely', and answers are not as useful as they were before. This might be related to "freak" and recent threads, where doubt is expressed about your motives.

    Personaly, people who misuse the knowledge of other people piss me off. And all evidence this far suggests you are one of these people. Would you care to explain what system you are trying to design actually will be used for, so hopefully we don't have to doubt your motives anymore?

    Shake your head and try to let your brain cell fall into its slot: if you could somehow hide your IP-address, how in the world could the response of the webserver you try to contact ever get back to you?

    The only way to do that is to go through a proxy that won't relay your information. Then the site will see the address of the proxy, not your own address.
