How do you hide your ip address?

  • Answer:

    You can't "hide" your IP address from outside attackers. A proxy will allow you to surf anonymously -- the sites you visit won't know your real IP address -- but there's no way to mask your IP from the Internet in general. If you're getting "hacked" you are either not using a firewall or are engaging in risky Internet practices. No proxy can protect you from your own stupidity unfortunately.

You should look into using an anonymous proxy server. It will mask your IP address so that all the companies tracking your movements around the Internet will only have access to the IP generated by the server. Do not use a free proxy, whether web or software based. These proxies will only do more damage than good. You will have to use a paid proxy service to get the advanced security features you need, which in your case would be an encrypted connection.

You can use something called a 'proxy' to mask your IP address. The explanation for what a proxy is can be found here: ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxy_server ). A good web-based proxy is: ( http://anonymouse.org/anonwww.html ). Your computer will transmit the IP address to any website it visit, so you visit a site using another site (a 'proxy') as an intermediary, and the end destination web page sees that site. Additionally, if you don't want to use a free, advertising supported web page as a proxy, companies such as Anonymizer ( http://www.anonymizer.com/ ) provide paid software you can use that will automatically do the same thing, generally at a higher speed. Good luck and stay safe.
