Is my IP visible to intruders? |
||||
|
IP addresses are assigned to computers by your ISP for browsing the internet, or by administrators when configuring a LAN. This IP is unique to each computer. When browsing web sites, your IP address, along with other personal information, is vulnerable to webmasters, hackers or any person with software capable of retrieving this information. In order to avoid compromising your personal information and making your computer vulnerable to outside attacks, you can use an anonymous proxy server, such as those listed at www.findproxy.org. To verify if your IP address is visible, you can access www.findproxy.org and check if your IP address appears on the site. After doping so, access any site through one of the proxies listed on the site and return to www.findproxy.org in order to check if your IP is still visible.This way, you will be able to verify if the server you have chosen really hides your IP address and if you are thus surfing the web anonymously, with no security risk to your PC and your personal information.
