Hi I am trying to access a site that will not let me access it but every 90 minutes (security purposes i guess), and I once downloaded a program for my PC; HideMyIP. This program let you change or just hide your IP address. All of this was done in a browser similar to a Firefox or Safari. Is there any program like this for Mac? I do not have VIrtual PC or a Intel based computer so I cannot get Windows. Thanks

I'm not aware of anything like that. Something like that must proxy your requests. I hope you trusted the developer because they likely had access to all your web surfing (that wasn't encrypted).
Tor will proxy your web use, hiding your IP. However, I'm not sure that it randomizes your IP.
I feel like I need to ask: what site is this? It just sounds suspicious that you would need to change your IP regularly.

It sounds like something a spammer would do.

You had to call a spade a spade. I was just going to say garden tool. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
