How would one go about anonymizing one own's IP Address in Ruby via a proxy?
I am using an Amazon API gem but want to make sure the IP it is coming from is anonymous or from another IP that is not my real IP.
I have looked into this here:
https://github.com/ankane/ip_anonymizer
...but not sure if this will do what I want it to do.
Any feedback or suggestions? Thanks!

By IP (Internet Protocol, either IPv4 or IPv6) do you actually mean IP address? If you use an IP address that is not your IP address, that will break a lot of things. Most networking is request/response, with the response sent to the IP address on the request packet. If the IP address on the request packet is not yours, how would you expect to receive a response?

Good point. I meant using a proxy or 'fake' IP address to communicate with Amazon with. I edited my post. Thank you for the clarification.

I would not consider that as anonymizing your address. It will still be a specific address back. You cannot just make up an address not related to your site, but you can use a proxy or NAT that give you a different address. That will work for a lot of things, but it requires maintaining a state, which really breaks the IP premise of end-to-end, where only the source and destination maintain the state. There are protocols and applications that get broken by that.
