richcornucopia Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 When you are using bittorrent clients yes people are able to see your ip. The tracker you are connected to also records all the ips that connect to it on a list. There isn't really a way to hide you ip as far as I know, what you can do is use some sort of proxy so your internet is re-routed through a different ip. This way your ip will show up as something different than your real ip. As for safety your best bet is to use private trackers that make you register, they are less likely to be RIAA of MPAA monitored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6arett Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 Or get a diffrent IP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 If you just get a different ip it will still be tracked and your ip is what identifies you online, so a new wouldnt do much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6arett Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 Ya but with a diffrent one wouldent your idenity change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 Your ip would change but that ip would be registered to your isp and then they can see that the ip is registered to you. So getting a different one won't really help for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6arett Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well if you really wanted to "hide" your ip address maybe you could setup your own DNS Server... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 There are places that let you use there VPN Service to tunnel for a small price. http://findnot.com/ or you can use an untrusted proxy ect. I myself use findnot quite often when i am doing certain things. Good Luck!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 I have used this in the past. You can just google search for anonymous proxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 Well if you really wanted to "hide" your ip address maybe you could setup your own DNS Server... A DNS server wouldn't hide your ip address. DNS servers just translate domain names that you type into your browser into ip addreses. As other's have posted, a proxy server is probably your best choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 Go here: Proxy 4 Free Enter the name and port into your LAN Settings. OK your way back to the desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted July 22, 2005 CID Share Posted July 22, 2005 But that won't hide it in bittorrent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 If you want to hide your IP address for everything you do online http://findnot.com is what you want it will absolutely keep you anonymous for everthing you do online file transfers, IRC, FTP logins web surfing ect ect, and it's secure much more secure than using a rouge proxy which could be a honeypot setup by the government or a hackerpot setup by hackers to get ip's to hack at a later date. for 7 bucks a month findnot is well worth it if hiding your true ip, and data from others is important to you.

richcornucopia Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 Does anyone know of any free ways to hide your ip in P2P prorgams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcornucopia Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 Well, I think I finally found something that suits my needs, its called I2P. I also found something called Tor, both are very interesting. http://www.i2p.net/ http://tor.eff.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 I've used TOR in the past, but the speed reduction was more than i could bare. The thing with those services is the speed reduction sure they are free, but slowwwww. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 I believe setting up a VPN network will also anonymize your IP. Another related link I found: www.anonymize.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 It really isn't neccesary to pay to be hidden, here is a site that wil tell you all you need to know to be anonymous. Also has a hourly updated list of (Elite) proxies. Elite means high anonymity they do not forward any of your information. Which most proxies do even though they say they are anonymous. I always and behind at least 1 (elite) proxy and if you try a few out you will find 1 that won't slow your surfing down noticeably http://www.freeproxy.ru/en/free_proxy/faq/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Matter Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 i would not put my faith in that at all unless they are absolutely giving you a garuntee, and i doubt they are they'd be foolish to do such as then they would be liable if anything happens to you.

lorne Posted July 23, 2005 CID Share Posted July 23, 2005 I test each proxy before i use it and the elite proxies listed on that site always do what they are supposed to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
