What is IP Masking? How to use Fake IP
address?
For Example, Let us assume your ip
address is 173.23.22.212 and your
location is xxxx.
Using IP masking, you can make your
IP address is 202.102.12.123(fake IP
Address) and your location becomes
yyyy.
Using Proxy IP Address , you can hide
your IP. Read this article : What is Proxy
IP Address?
This can be achieved by the following
methods:
Set Proxy IP Address in your Browser
Use IP hiding Tools
Web proxy(Eg: Flyproxy)
So won't i be traced now? The Answer
is yes and No. It is depending on your
anonymity level of your Proxy IP
address.
Different Types of Anonymity Levels:
Transparent Proxy
This type of proxy server identifies itself
as a proxy server and also makes the
original IP address available through
the http headers. These are generally
used for their ability to cache websites
and do not effectively provide any
anonymity to those who use them.
However, the use of a transparent
proxy will get you around simple IP
bans. They are transparent in the
terms that your IP address is exposed,
not transparent in the terms that you
do not know that you are using it (your
system is not specifically configured to
use it.)
Anonymous Proxy
This type of proxy server indentifies
itself as a proxy server, but does not
make the original IP address available.
This type of proxy server is detectable,
but provides reasonable anonymity for
most users.
Distorting Proxy
This type of proxy server identifies itself
as a proxy server, but make an
incorrect original IP address available
through the http headers.
High Anonymity Proxy
This type of proxy server does not
identify itself as a proxy server and
does not make available the original IP
address.
