How to Hide an IP Address From a Website
Hiding your IP address from a web page may save you legal troubles or protect your security. Websites are able to track users' IP addresses, which could cause trouble if you are viewing content that is illegal in your country. Moreover, many users hide their IP addresses merely to shield their identities from websites. A proxy service hides your IP address from users and is easy to use.
