How Do I Change (Hide) My IP Address With Software?

Comment from ShadowWarrior111 –Experts Exchange

If you want to be really really anonymous in the internet, you can try SocksChain (

http://www.ufasoft.com/socks/

 This program allows you to tunnel your IP through many layer of socks server. This will makes tracking of your real IP address very very difficult. The disadvantage of this program is it will really slow down your connection as it need to go through many different socks server.

Freedom - Internet Privacy & Security Software | Your Online Protection


http://www.freedom.net/




Companies like Zero-Knowledge Systems Inc. (www.zeroknowledge.com) promise to restore the anonymity that many people expect when they surf the Web. The ZKS system, called Freedom, lets users establish alternate identities, or "nyms" (short for pseudonyms), and then routes all Internet traffic associated with a given nym through its own "Freedom network," ensuring that no personally identifying information leaks out to merchants or advertisers.
Freedom, in fact, is set up so that even ZKS doesn't know the identity behind any given nym. Paying users receive a serial number allowing them to activate five nyms. The only link between a nym and an actual user is that serial number, and ZKS says it never cross-indexes that information.
The Freedom software is relatively easy to download and set up, although it doesn't work well behind some corporate firewalls. It is also so far only available for Windows 95 and 98 users; ZKS says versions for the Macintosh and Linux systems are in the works.
WHEN RUNNING, Freedom pops up a small window that shows which nym is active and what sort of Internet traffic you are sending or receiving over the Freedom network. It redirects all data through its own network, so Web sites never see your Internet address, only that of Freedom. This slows down response times, but not significantly. Similarly, the software segregates cookies so that they are associated only with particular nyms, not with your online identity, and it can block cookies set by online advertisers and others.
Freedom even assigns you a freedom.net e-mail address for each nym. E-mail sent using a nym gets encrypted with a secure code, making it far harder for anyone to intercept messages. The encryption process, however, greatly slows down the sending of e-mail. Freedom also scans your messages and warns you if they contain any personally identifiable information. At one point, it flagged a test message I sent from a nym because it contained my actual e-mail address.
Using the service isn't cheap: A five-pack of nyms costs $50, and each is only good for one year. (But you can trade in an unactivated nym to extend the life of an existing one.) ZKS says it's working on a new payment system in the new version of Freedom it plans to unveil in the fall.
In general, Freedom performed well when I tested it, but it still has some quirks. It is possible, for instance, for a merchant to link a nym with your actual name and other data if you fill out a form on a Web site. For that reason, ZKS suggests that users create one "real-name" nym to stand in for their actual identity.
Freedom also doesn't block the forwarding of key words to sites reached via search engines, and it still allows some marginally important information about your PC -- the operating system and browser you are using -- to leak out to Web sites. And it can be confusing to juggle several nyms and keep your various identities straight.
There are other ways to protect yourself against online privacy threats, but few are as comprehensive and user-friendly as Freedom.

How about this ????

{Anonymous Web surfing} Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of
Web surfers? I try to steer as far away from conspiracy theories
as possible, but it is common knowledge that companies often
employ the use of cookies to see just what our surfing habits
happen to be. Some of these "intrusions" are harmless, but some
violate our privacy outright. By wearing the Cloak, you're under
an alternative. Now you can surf the Net anonymously; hide your
identity from the sites you visit, protect yourself from local
snooping, delete cookies, and selectively bypass encountered Java
and JavaScript code. We can finally hide from Big Brother; Big
Sister is much nastier, ya know.




avivaldi asked this follow-up question on 12/3/2000:
No follow-up here, just an observation: apparently Freedom is the only service which allows you to connect directly from your browser with an encrypted connection. The others, anonymizer, idzap, safeweb, etc., all rely on web-based browsing or Java applets which do not allow you to access links outside their window, unless you disable Java or another security feature from your start-up tray or in your browser. I'm going to try and rephrase my question one more time, hoping another service somewhere is available. Thank you.

Anonymizer Privacy Button

Anonymizer.com has been around for a while offering a proxy
service that lets users surf the Web while remaining anonymous.
Surfing through the Anonymizer proxy prevents a visited Web site
to identify your IP addresses, and blocks Java, JavaScript,
ActiveX, and cookies. In the past you had to go to the Anonymizer
site and type the URL for the site you wanted to visit to use
this free service. But no longer. The new Anonymizer Privacy
Button utility installs as an add-in for Internet Explorer and
appears as an icon on the IE toolbar. You can surf the Web but
when you want to visit a site you can invoke privacy by just
clicking on the Anonymizer button on the IE toolbar. When you
type in a URL or click on a Favorite you'll notice that your
surfing through the Anonymizer proxy server by the options
display that appears at the top of your browser display space.

The Anonymizer Privacy Button is a free download but like so many
free things on the Web there is a catch. The free version causes
a somewhat annoying "Upgrade Now" message to flash in the IE
status bar when the privacy feature is turned on. There are also
a number of types of pages (noted as "restricted") that can't be
displayed when using the free privacy option. Secure HTTPS pages
for example. The idea is to get you to go for the paid
subscription version, which costs $49.96 for a full year (or
$14.99 for three months).

On the other hand, a paid Anonymizer subscription gets you these
additional privacy features: no restricted pages, safe cookies
(you can accept all cookies as they are marked as session only
and expire automatically), URL encryption to prevent tracking
your surfing by employers or even your ISP, block all standard
sizes of banner ads, and the ability to send anonymous email

You can uninstall Anonymizer through Control Panel's Add/Remove
software option.

PRIVOXY-Privacy Enhancing Proxy

Computer Edge  August 22, 2002 DIGITAL DAVE


 Dear Digital Dave,

You might point your users to Privoxy (www.privoxy.com). The site states that it is “a Web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy; filtering Web page content; managing cookies; controlling access; and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk.”

This eliminates a ton of ads/pop-ups, and runs on umpteen different flavors of UNIX (I run on Linux), Windows and Mac. I can’t imagine running without it! Also, it is available for free under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Jason

Dear Jason,

That’s an interesting concept. The name stands for Privacy Enhancing Proxy, which puts another step between you and the Web content you seek. Privoxy can be set to block most of the unwanted Web content that sneaks into your computer.

The FAQ on the Web site is the largest I’ve ever seen. If you are interested in using Privoxy, I would spend some time reading the FAQ and the user’s manual.

JAP- Best Free Anonymous Surfing Service
http://www.techsupportalert.com/best_free_utilities.htm

Best Free Anonymous Surfing Service
There are lots of reasons folks have for wanting to surf anonymously, ranging from simple paranoia to possibly being murdered by a malevolent foreign government. Whatever the reasons, commercial services that offer anonymity are doing real well. However one of the best services, JAP, is totally free and it's level of secrecy is better than many commercial systems. However expect your surfing to slow down as you'll be relayed through a chain of servers. You'll also need to change your browser settings to work through a proxy.

email address encoder.
 

Another Free Anti-Spammer Tool

LangaList Plus 9-22-2003

Hi Fred. I notice in your latest Plus issue that someone was asking for a reliable e-mail scrambler. [See items 11-13 in http://www.langalist.com/Plus/newsletters/2003/2003-09-18plus.asp ]
May I recommend an excellent site that deals with many of these issues. Go to the link on the left for online tools and you will find an excellent scrambler there. I used to use javascript for my pages but now use this. Glad to actually be able to contribute something to this excellent list. ---Diggerdog
Thanks! It's an indication of how fed up people are with spam that so many anti-harvesting tools are cropping up. We're all looking for ways to keep our addresses out of the spammer databases!

 email address encoder.

 
ASCII to Unicode Conversion ScriptThis tool will convert your email address, to Unicode encoding to help hide this information from people that you do not want to see this information, (like spam searching programs (spambots)). Mailto links will function normally, but looking at the source of your page shows that the email address is apparently gibberish.To use this script, just copy your email address to the top box and click "Hide Address". In the bottom box will appear a long string of text. That text is your email address in its encoded form. Just paste that text into the html where you would normally put your email address. That's it!!!! NOTE: You can use this to encode any information on your page, it is not limited only to email address's, that is just the handiest use. NOTE2: Encoding email addresses or using Javascript to hide them, work at present to hide your address.However, there is no guarantee that future spiders will not be able to get the address regardless. Having said that, some protection is better then none at all, and thus far, to the best of my knowledge there are no real spider bots running around that can decode this presently. NOTE3: This program does NOT log any data at all, so any email entered in here, is not stored or registered anywhere. At HTMLfixIT.com we loath spammers and even if we did log your data (which we don't) we would never give it to anyone for any reason. (also see the privacy statement at the bottom of every page of the htmlfixit.com main site.)
Type the text you want to encode in the next box (for example your email address me@mydomain.com) and then click on the "Hide Address" button
