I know about proxies and do not care for them as they SLOW down a computer incredibly. Unless I have not seen the ones that dont affect performance.

I do wonder though is there any other way (I have 2 WINBLOWS XP boxes, and 2 Mandrake 9.0 boxes on a NAT router and Cable access, WinXP is the main box used) to mask, secure, be anonymous with my computer and IP addy beside a NAT Router (which I have), a good firewall (which I have), and an AV which I have. Without affecting Performance!!

I am not so worried about hackers as I am just pure Privacy (anonymous).

Thanks in advanced.
