What are the potential risks or consequences of trying to manipulate IP addresses using Curl?

Attempting to manipulate IP addresses using Curl can lead to potential risks such as being blocked by the server, violating terms of service agreements, or even legal consequences. It is important to use IP addresses ethically and responsibly to avoid any negative repercussions.

<?php
// Set a specific IP address for Curl requests
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('X-Forwarded-For: 123.456.789.012'));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>
