Not necessarily ...I surf thru Norton Internet Security proxy, but my IP is still visible to me in the image above, If you look at the bottom right of your posts, just above the "quote" button, you will see it says "IP Logged". You are not allowed to post without them knowing your IP because you might post something inflamatory or illegal and they need to know where to send the Feds!

There are those that know how to "spoof" an IP address ...but that is basically i-net fraud so we won't discuss it.

take a look at Qualy's Browser Check and GRC.com's ShieldsUp! to find out what is being revealed by your browser and test your online security.
