I'm thinking of using IRC again, but I want to make my IP unvisible to other users. I would also like to mask my IP when I use other programs that people can see my IP.

I'm using a router, if that helps any.

unvisible isn't a word? well, now it is :Q

Well, can I mask it while using say Hotline or Gnutella, etc?

If you get off the internet, no one can see your IP :)

But seriously, it's damn near impossible unless you use a proxy server for everything, and all the software is compatible with it.

yeah, i want to mask everything, so i would need to use a proxy for that? because i don't want to remember my IP for here, than for this and that, where can I get a proxy?

Find and IRC server that supports cloaking.. Like Slashnet.. Using their server software and turning on cloaking ("/mode username +z"), my hostname shows up as cloaked.bellsouth.net. Only IRCops can see my real IP. Pretty nifty. There are some servers that put gibberish into the hostname automatically, so it would show up as 492dbds92.atl.bellsouth.net or something like that.

Who cares if everyone sees your IP? If you're weren't doing anything wrong you wouldn't need to mask it! BEHAVE! :p

I could care less about who knows my ip. (24.9.147.118)

Cheers!
