How do I hide my ip from Google?

I don't want Google to realize where I coming from.

Hi,

Everytime I visit any of the Google sites (sj, www2, .ca, etc.), Google always detects that I'm coming from Canada and serves me Canadian ads and different serps then what my US clients see. I want to hide my ip from Google so that it can't do this. I want to see the real US results.
I at one time knew a web site that helped to do this, but I have since lost the URL.
Why does Google show different results even when I view it at the US Google? Annoying!

Annoying indeed! I can't even use anonymizer without getting the same different results. They don't just do it by IP but browser language settings as well.

Try using www.google.us for US Ads, but you can use it to check new index.

Thanks anonymizer.com was the one I was thinking about.
