Anyone know any free alternatives to COMPLETELY mask/change my IP address? So far mega-proxy.com is the only site I've found that will change my IP when viewing www.whatismyip.com. Normal proxies show my real IP and then the proxy IP underneath it. Any ideas? |
Yes. If you haven't already, download, install, and begin using Mozilla Firefox as your web browser. www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ Then download and install the SwitchProxy extension for Mozilla Firefox. SwitchProxy SwitchProxy lets you manage and switch between multiple proxy configurations quickly and easily. You can also use it as an anonymizer to protect your computer from prying eyes. It will also allow you to import lists of proxies, either anonymous or otherwise, from either a text file or a URL. Do a Google search for "anonymous proxy list" and take those results and configure Mozilla Firefox w/ SwitchProxy to either import one of those lists automatically from a URL or cut and paste into a textfile and import it manually. Using a configuration similar to this and whatismyip.com I've seen my IP listed as originating from all sorts of far off and exotic places. |
