Blocking IP?

xtthew! · 03-17-2008, 10:35 PM

Hello There!

I've been wondering if it would be possible to block my IP from being accessed. Why? Because I use the social networking site Bebo quite often and I would like to be able to have my "Who Viewed My Page" program running, allowing me to see who viewed my page. But to do so, I have to allow people to see that I've viewed their pages. I'm assuming that the locations of the people it shows are generated by the IP that they provide. So would I be able to block my IP address from being accessed so they can't detect that i've looked at their page.

Hi xtthew, Welcome to TSF

I'm not very sure you can block it from being displayed, but you can certainly change it so it appears to be different. Proxy servers come into play. I'm not sure however if I can tell you exactly what to do or how to do it because I'm not sure if what you're asking is violating any forum rules.
