Is there a proxy I should be using through Firefox or something I should be doing in addition to using adblock to better hide my IP address?

I thought that if you had adblocker (and a list of all the trackers on there) and Firefox that you were automatically NOT tracked and that it included your IP.. Am i mistaken?

Our list will keep you from being tracked by any trackers that are on it (listed).  Are there other trackers out there - yeah I'm sure there are.  We update the list as we find new ones.  Also some create their own private trackers which is easy to do.  If your ultra worried use a proxy.  Also make sure you keep your filter list current and updated or you can add it to your subscriptions on adblock (that is what I do).

When you say some create their own private trackers and its easy to do, how easy is it? Can you do this?

 Well when I say tracker really its via access logs they have on a site they host.  If you host a site you can generally get access logs to it.  So if you hosted like a image you could put it on your profile and then get the access logs to it.  The image could be anything.  Again to do this you have to host your own site.

So the everyday normal person wouldn't be doing this though, it seems like a lot of work.

No, the average person does not do this. In fact, Id say only a very, very small percentage of people do. Liek smartmom said, if you are really worried, you should use a proxy, but if you are just the 'average' amount of worried, using Firefox with AdBlock Plus should suffice.

Thanks, I do keep up to date on the tracker list. A couple of other things smartmom, i have 2 questions posted in the MixMap Tracker Question posting and nobody has answered them for me, any chance that you could? I'd be forever grateful. Thanks. Smiling

you can get a 30 day free trial of ninja surf. i like that one. i'm usually from sweden, which is awesome, just because.

it'll give you a random isp and some random foreign country. it does slow you down though, just like any proxy. sometimes, myspace will come up in whatever language because it detects you are from another country, but you can just change it back.

I like SmartHide for hiding my IP Address. And it's free. Seems to work with myspace. When I visit my own profile my tracker shows me the fake IP Address. Paypal won't even let me go to the log on screen unless I turn SmartHide off.

Does it work with myspace? Are there any that are free that hide IP?

Well for stalking it should but I couldn't log in through it. Ok, never mind.  I tried to hit my own profile and it timed out.

The only thing is this won't work with some websites. Your internet experience will be a bit slower as well.
