I just don't understand why a service like whatismyip.com shows the 'spoofed' IP address, but google still recognizes the original location.

Google doesn't only use your ip to determine your location.  It can also show your location based on your search history for example if you are logged in your google account. At least in bottom of google's mobile site it shows which way it's using to determine your location(ip, search history, etc.).

For many people a map can be drawn of the last x years, other trackers do exactly the same.
Worth a lot of money I'm sure.

This thread is starting to wear out.

Google uses search history, location data and your ISP as well as your IP to determine the best search domain to redirect to. My search provider is currently DuckDuckGo because fuck tracking and imposing search suggestions.

To bypass your university securty == Tor (currently do the same for work)
To be as close to invisible as you can == Tor+ vpn

There are some services that download torrents for you and transfers it back via a fast encrypted ftp connection

Ok, so right now I am using a combination of VPS and VPN quite effectively.
SSH over port 443 to VPS, using Proxycap to limit the SOCKS proxy only to a VPN client (bypassing the uni firewall) and using the VPN locally on my notebook.

/Edit:
Apparently the VPN now functions without the ssh proxy as well. I am not really sure why.
