How to Hide My IP With PC Tools Firewall
A firewall is designed to protect your computer from outside traffic. It is an essential security component of any computer connected to the Internet. The PC Tools Firewall is a free security program with two available modes. The basic "Normal User" is the default mode. It provides simple settings for incoming and outgoing network traffic and will protect your computer from most threats. The "Expert User" mode is designed for users that want more control over the firewall settings. This mode allows you to make your computer "invisible" to other computers on the network and Internet.
