This is not to cause damage. I am not spamming or anything.
I have run into an issue posting on Kijiji.
Apparently ebay (owner of kijiji) has decided to charge people to post a car ad. I've had one ad posted before, and deleted it. I went to repost it with new pictures and info, and it says I need to pay.
I know they have my ip logged, and this is how they are coming up with this info. I attempted to post using another email address, same issue.
So Does anyone know how I could change my ip. Tor etc does not work, I assume since looking up my ip while using it, there was a little message that appeared saying I am using a suspected ip proxy, etc. Kijiji I assume will find the same thing.
Anyone have any suggestions, I am using Ubuntu, and Firefox as my browser.

Have you tried getting a shell account on another box?
I don't know how well it would work or exactly what you could do, but some of the things I do, I prefer using a shell account on a different box to keep my IP hidden, nothing illegal, I just prefer it for privacy's sake.

I doubt that it's your IP address not changing that their business model depends on.

Shael: I don't have access to a shell account, never even done that before.
MutantMandias: What do you think it is then? I'm pretty sure it's my IP. I am however not an authority on this subject?
Any ideas?
I am thinking tonight I will go mobile with my laptop, and try this off someone's wireless signal.
We shall see, I have a strong feeling it will work.

Alright, never mind. I believe I have found my answer. Or the start of it.
Cable usually does not assign a new address unless the MAC address changes. So I will attempt this (posting my ad) on my notebook (since I have not used it yet for this purpose). Then I shall find a work around for this issue.

buy access to a private proxy that wont steal your credit info. (and wont be banned because its not an open proxy used for spam)

That's an idea...but you can get a shell account through some services for free for "educational" purposes. You use a telnet client and connect to it. It's all text based, but for just posting on a forum, it should work great.

That's a pretty big list, there are other lists out there of free ones. I have one on a friend's linux box that I trust that I use.

I have a few shell accounts so I can compile natively on a different platform (solaris, freebsd, netbsd)
But trying to use the web with SSH or telnet in a console is horrible and difficult says I, hence proxy.
(the shell account can be fun, ssh to a box in russia, then ssh back your box so everything has extra latency, so you can pretend your doing cloud computing)
semi-related, someone should bug me to set-up a solaris box to give out shell accounts on. Just for the hell of it and to let people use unix to understand how annoying shellscripts and pipelines are as the bread and butter data handling tools.

Oh, I understand...it's just where I work, the IT guys are such idiots that they can't figure out what a shell account IP looks like and what SSH traffic looks like, so it works for when I need to hide what I'm doing.
Where I work, anything they can get on you they will use against you, even if it's not against company policy. They will find a way to make you look guilty if what you're looking at is something they don't like or something you can use against the company.

me too, technically, but I am the IT guy who does the deep packet inspection, so I don't worry.
