IP Address

Cottoncandy1939 · 08-29-2005, 07:43 PM

Does anyone know where I can find a free software program that will hide my IP address? There is this one website I like to view but don't want anyone to know that I'm viewing it.

Any info would be appreciated.

well, i doubt anyone will help with this, since it borderlines on unethical.

we commonly get this same question in many many forms, and generally, it goes unanswered.

i might suggest, you might try asking google's search.

i hear it is happy to help you find anything

As the mod said, you shouldn't do unethical shiznick

. But if you want (some) IP protection against sites collecting your IP try:

The Cloak

READ their disclaimer...

You could also use a proxy.

There is nothing unethical about wanting to be anonymous.

I'd recommend you check out Tor, or you could just use a proxy.

Very true. I wasn't saying there was.. just you <i>can</i> do unethical stuff if you so wanted to. And these services shouldn't be abused.

You're Ch4r from HL, aren't you?

Tor is very hot ****, but a proxy would probally do fine.

Yeah, Tor looks great, but it doesn't hide your IP address from the computers you talk to. It just helps to protect your data while it's on the way to its destination.
