Use a TOR connection. With that, you have a SSL/TLS encoded connection from your PC to a local TOR router. And it "bounces around" in the TOR network until it exits for a TOR end point to then go to the actual site you want. The site doesn't know where you came from initially because it only sees the TOR exit point's IP address. All packets are encrypted from your PC to the TOR exit point router. They may (http) then be in "clear text" or encrypted (https) during the last hop. Which will likely be closer to your destination and therefore harder to intercept than if it were "clear text" all the way.
