How safe is YOUR internet connection?

Take a look at this website, it will tell you 2 simple things.
1) Your IP Address
2) Your Domain Name

www.whatismyipaddress.com

# 2 should not be visible if your using a firewall!

:( DJ, the info for each came up when I checked it out! I'm using Zone Alarm with a broadband connection. Is there something I need to do to correct this breach in security? It seemed like ZA was a quality product... What's the deal?

Thanks.

Actually, thats fine. I use Zone Alarm also, and even with the setting on high, your IP will show up. Its not really a breach or anything, because Zone Alarm protects your computer darn good!

It just shows that your IP is exposed, or if you want to know what it is. So no need to worry. ;)

I think AtGaurd is no longer in production..?
I would go for ZoneAlarm FREE, or Kerio Personal Firewall FREE.
