    Is there a way I can set up a proxy/hide my IP with Mac OS X?

    I am going off to college and I am a very avid torrenter.

    I usually torrent software, and then if I like it I will purchase it... I just don't want to get caught and slapped with a gigantic fine.

    We do not allow discussions of bypassing security measures so thread closed. FYI, some things fall under academic dishonesty which is immediate expulsion.

    If you want to use torrents(for legal stuff), buy your own connection.
