"I am looking for a software to protect my IP address from Detection"

here's an interesting exchange from a security newsgroup...

>>>Are there freewares/sharewares available for download that could prevent disclosing my IP address?

>>>trying to hide your ip address is silly and impossible

>>>It's easy to hide your IP address by going through proxies.

>>>the proxy knows your ip then. you cannot hide your ip because then packets that should go to your machine would not know where you are. apart from that not all protocols are proxyable (is that a word?)

>>>depends who you are hiding from. if you're hiding from the end server, then you've accomplished your goals by using a proxy. if you're hiding from everyone, true, it's impossible to hide from _everyone_ without completely remaining offline.
