Re: Can I hide my IP (w/o using a proxy)?
said by pvsurfer  :I realize I could hide my IP by using a proxy service, but is there no 'direct' way to hide my IP? Hiding your IP address on the Internet is much like giving a fake address when you place a pizza delivery order. Sure, you'll trick the other side, but you won't ever get a pizza.
In short, the only way to USE the Internet is to give people your IP address. Otherwise, just like the pizza delivery guy, they'll send the stuff you want (web, mail, etc) somewhere else and you'll never get it.

Especially when it relies on header information the user can manipulate. Right now it thinks I'm using Internet Explorer 7 on Windows 3.1.  |

What about ordering 65,536 pizzas and having them sent to different addresses, only one of which is yours? |
