Hide your IP from who?


If it's just a matter of hiding it from sites that you visit, try a proxy such as www.anonymizer.com .

I think the important question is, why you feel you need to hide your IP.

a website

do they have proxys that are free...?

A website need to know your IP so that it know where to send the information too. You can use proxie server to "spoof" your IP.

btw: You dont have a WAN. A WAN is a wide are network. it consists of 2 or more LAN's(Local Area networks). 3 computers are a small LAN. ;)

edit: Free Proxy servers.

I just want to add one thing since you're new. If you need to add a question or information before anyone has posted, just edit your last post. Double posting is frowned upon here.

oh.. sorry about that....
having a problem finding a proxy...

Pick one close to you and stick it in your browser options. If you have trouble, click help, its probably in there.

If all of a sudden, your internet is very slow, doesn't work at all, or sites are restricted, pick another proxy. The one I'm on has a McCafee virus checker on it, oddly enough.

Pretty cool stuff

Hey Hey,

Actually he's correct in saying he wants to hide his WAN IP. This would be the IP assigned through his cable modem to his router by his ISP. His LAN IPs are the (presumably) private IPs he would be using behind the router. The IP on the internet is a WAN IP because essentially all the internet is... is the biggest of WANs :)

Peace,

Like Soda_Popinsky said, try looking at http://stayinvisible.com. They have a nice collection. Sometimes it takes a little experimenting to find a good proxy that works. With some of them I am unable to check my e-mail and some seem to run slower. Anyway, stayinvisible.com has a great collection.

I don't think that really matters ,"picking one close to you",that's if your talking about the speed your going to get. I usuallly pick high A's from Switzerland,& like some people say and it's true it will sometimes increase ones speed. I guess it's all in finding the best one.

Ok depending on your os I have a few selections and advisorys for you.
First off I think that stealther is a good program that hides the ips of windows users. "super stealth mode" isnt available only for the purchased users. Other then that the other one is.
"anonymizer" but you also have to pay for that as well.
Or you can just find proxy's from www.stayinvisible.com and upload them into your current running browser.
That's why I do.
So porxy's are different.
socks v4 & v5 are different from another. And from a regular proxy.
Socks v4 and v5 are on different ports then regular proxys.
Most regular proxy's run on port 80 or 8080. Pending on the proxy.
