Ip Hiding

[nirbhayn]

Hi
Iam using this chat clinet where my ip gets scanned. and it goes welcome (nickname) (Ip Address) in the main window.
is there anyway to hide my ip. I have firewal such as zonealarm installed.
help me.

er......no.

only way would be to use a chat program that only works through a trusted server (no direct connection) or use an anomouzing proxy server, eg you connection is routed and hidden through someone else.

The problem is that the chat system has to know an IP address for you. That's how it sends stuff to you.

I saw in a recent book that some of the anonymizers are actually run by the US Government. :O So the CIA, FBI, and NSA will know all abiout the users anyway. So look out for your SIS Security Certificate saying you're a terrorist because you use an anonymizer. B-)
