Hi u2btrfly

I read in this thread that you have ordered/purchased Ghost Surf, an application that, supposedly, hides your IP address.

Well, I have done a little reading on this and, from what I remember, it hides your IP address by routing your internet connection through their own proxy servers. Whether this is still the case, i.e. using their own servers or someone else’s, I can’t say but I hope that once you have evaluated this software you will be able to tell us.

By the way, I’ve got colleagues who have set up their own “home-made” hardware proxy server using an old Pentium PC running linux O/S and a freebie application called Smoothwall. However, to go to this length you need time and dedication, but once set up it is smooth sailing.

Just remember that there is no real way to hide your IP address on the internet, so don’t get taken in by claims of anonymous surfing.
