Hide Your IP Address - A Tutorial

Whoever you are, anonymity is your right!

With proxy server u can hide your IP on the net. Which means while u r posting on a forum, sending a email, chatting with someone and whatnot, your real IP will not be revealed. Follow the steps to do the same

1. Go to http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html and Copy any IP with high anonymity along with its port number.

2. Open Internet explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Connections Tab > Lan Settings > Check the box which says "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN......"

3. Paste the IP in the Address field and Port in the Port field

4. OK

5. Apply

6. OK

Now to verify if your proxy server is working or not Go to

http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ and check your IP, if you are unble to open any sites, then your proxy server is dead. In that case choose another proxy from http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html

Hope that was useful.

Note that using some proxy's slow down your internet speed.

Better idea.

http://tor.eff.org/

" Your traffic is safer when you use Tor, because communications are bounced around a distributed network of servers, called onion routers. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it's going. This makes it hard for recipients, observers, and even the onion routers themselves to figure out who and where you are. Tor's technology aims to provide Internet users with protection against "traffic analysis," a form of network surveillance that threatens personal anonymity and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security. "

Above using that, you can install Tor on a trusted system for it's outgoing connections, and shoot your connections through an SSH tunnel on that trusted system using something like Internet Secure Tunneling,

for more security especially if that trusted system is geographically distant from you, or ideally use multiple geographically distant systems with SSH tunneling forwarding your connection all over the place using netcat,

http://www.securityfocus.com/tools/137

and connecting to the first bounce point with an IP-Sec VPN.

For most all on this board IP Hider Pro will be fine.

Multiple proxy servers worldwide, and is a good starting point,

But the above info is good stuff.

Just do it right if your going to do it.

Is visiting secured sites (like shopping, checking bank accounts) safe with using a proxy?

If you are inquiring about a tool like Tor / Privoxy, or IP Hider, ...

Conservatively speaking, I would not use an anonymous proxy server to to my banking through. To err on the side of caution is always more wise than to err, and be left wishing you would have. ;)

If you are looking to stay anonymous, but still acces your bank reccords, and shop for the sake of just hiding your I.P., you can always use an online anonymizer site. Search google for Anonymizer.

Netcat is not ported for x86, it is a Unix / Linux tool and is difficult for the noob to understand.

I see no real reason for that many people here to be anonymous unless they are hiding activities that might be deemed unsavory by most. In which case, you should have let me in on it. :laugh:

It's a l33t h@x0r t00l. :laugh:

EDIT: If you are going deep, use WiFi, and several proxy tools.

Do your homework. It's much different than it used to be. But then again, with WiFi, ... you could sit in the bushes all day without a proxy, and still be pretty cool.

Just depends on what your reason for staying cloaked is.

Netcat does work on x86 as well on PPC, and Sparc.

# Linux (test host: alphaev67-unknown-linux-gnu)

# FreeBSD (test host: i386-unknown-freebsd4.9)

# NetBSD (test host: i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.6.1)

# SunOS/Solaris (test host: sparc-sun-solaris2.9)

# MacOS X (test host: powerpc-apple-darwin6.8)

And there is a Windows port availible if you want.

But that would somewhat negate the purpose of

setting up complicated routing, and SSH for privacy.

can the above junk up my computer...if it cant i'll try it out

[Malbojia]

I like to piggy back my-self on a few proxies from, high transparent ones to some socks 5, but the speeds are always the issue, had to find good ones under 500ms.

Indeed a good tutorial and info added by others.

[MovieFanatic07]

just tried it and i see my same IP..maybe i did something wrong but the directions were pretty clear..

[JorgeIvan]

I want to know if there is a way i can hide my IP when im play a online game like ragnarok

[oddcrap]

Or you can always try PeerGuardian when you're donwloading.

What I meant was not x86, I meant windows. I wasn't aware that it was available for win32. Hrm, but you are right about using it on Windows. Not advised.

Anything you do can "junk up" your computer if you are goofy enough to not pay attention, but with that one ... I doubt it.
