[QUOTE="canon, post: 161694, member: 8423"] They can also use the ip address of another computer. So all of a sudden, it looks like you're surfing child porn between bomb making sites while supporting al qaeda. There's identity theft. They can get your street address using IP Locator. Anyone running target net software can see surfers ip addresses. I'm not sure how it works or when exactly this info becomes available, but i've seen it's not possible to extract it from a post u make here unless the administrator releases it (or they hack the site). Any website you go to records the address, which is like a road map right to your life. Granted you only have to worry about the people looking for directions, but that's a scary thought if you wonder why they might want it. It's not always about keeping the skeletons in your closet hidden, it's also about acknowledging the need for responsible internet security. I just learned all this in 10 minutes of surfing, so if it's wrong feel free to correct it. Basically, when you use a hider, it routes your traffic thru another location. I just started a progam that as of a minute ago was running my traffic thru a proxy in thailand. It tests and routes thru various proxies worldwide. When I clicked on my google bookmark, it came up in thai languange lol. So (as I understand it) when someone sees my ip, they see the ip of the proxy and not my own. I've noticed a bit of a slowdown in download speed, but only slightly. It's running a 1.47 second ping right now. I'm on the trial version, it's easy to use, just down load it and run it. Runs in the background, nothing for me to do other than run it. The trial version isn't guaranteed because it runs thru a public proxy. The pay version is only $30 and runs thru a private proxy so it's guaranteed That's a small price to pay for a little bit more peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
