Default Buying things with a US ip address.

So first off I know this has been covered indirectly, but I am not sure how to apply this for my issue with enough confidence, mainly because it involves passwords and credit card numbers.

So basically, a website where I want to buy a video game from blocks Australian IP addresses. So I figure I can get a proxy to go around this.

But the point being I will need to enter my password details and then credit card number, are proxy services safe to do this? And as I'm willing to pay for a fast, secure service - does anyone recommend any?

The game I want to purchase is a digital download version, does anyone know if they generally email the product key? or do I actually have to download the game client. (I already have the game installed thanks to a pre-order early access bonus).



So : Proxy servers or the like to change my IP address to the US.. Safe, and can you recommend a service? (happy to pay).
