How to fake ip at localhost without LoopBack.
- by sexer
How can i fake an ip on my own PC? for example if there were an ip address lets say 201.91.81.71, that Host is somewhere outside of my red and is hosting a webserver. How can set a website on my own PC, and when i go to browser and try to explore 201.91.81.71 it actually explore the website at my own PC?
pd: I need it with IP addresses not domain names, since I need to implement it on a non-web service.
First guess was installing a LoopBack with 201.191.81.71 as ip, but since some times the subnet works and some other it doesn't isn't a stable solution.
Second guess was adding a route to route table :
route add 201.91.81.71 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 is the ip address of my NIC.
If i could add this route it would work but windows doesn't let me do so.
route add 201.91.81.71 mask 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1
it doesn't let me set as gateway 127.0.0.1 if 201.91.81.71 isn't set in a NIC, so thats why i set sometimes loopback and this route add is auto, but it needs a subnet mask which doesn't match the ip and cannot set 255.255.255.255, im in real throubles here. can i get some help? thx.
