Hello,

I was wondering if any certified techie guy or girl can help me out. :)

When I surf websites on the internet, I want to remain anonymous so websites I visit don't get hold of my IP. Otherwise, they'd start tracing my PC/laptop through my IP and then start sending me spam via their Windows 2000 IP Messaging feature.
Likewise, I want to remain, when I'm logging into my cPanel of my own website (supplied by a webhost) and also when I'm
uploading and downloading files to/from my website account (ftp server) via my ftp client.
I'll be experimenting with a lot of cgi and php scripts which may prove to be malicious at the end. I don't want such scripts tracing my IP from my web-server, ftp-server and then find their ways to my pc/laptop hdd. They might install spywares on my hdd or start sending spam from my pc/laptop. I hear a lot of web-scripts exist out there that when you install them on your hdd then they secretly start sending spam using your resources in the back-ground and get you in trouble with your ISP.

Also, when I log-in to my Paypal account, I want to remain anonymous from both Paypal and the recipients. Remain anonymous from the recipients so they don't get my IP and some-how hack into my pc/laptop and steal my Paypal password. And, remain anonymous from Paypal because if Paypal logs my IP and some-how hackers gain access to Paypal's servers and steal all their account holders personal details along with IPs then that would be very dangerous for us indeed. It won't be long before they hack into our HDDs too.

So, now you know my requirements.
Now, which type of anonymous proxy do you suggest I use ? Ftp Proxy ? Http Proxy ? Cgi Proxy ? Socks Proxy ? Any other ?
is there a type that has "multi" so it can become both the Http-Proxy (anonymous) and the FTP-Proxy (anonymous) ?
Also, do you suggest I install my own anonymous proxy software on my pc/laptop or use another web service on the internet ?
If you suggest the former then which softwares do you recommend and why them in particular but if you suggest the latter then which services (what are their web addresses ?) do you recommend and also why them in particular ?

Oh by the way, I have a Router and checking CMD-> IP Config it's showing an internal IP while whatismyip.com is showing my external.
Am I more safer than those who's CMD-> IP Config show their external IP ?
I mean, if a malicious website gets hold of my IP when I visit it then it would only get hold of my Router's IP and not my PCs/Laptop's IP on my Lan, right ? And, if they send/inject anything this way then the worst they can do is reach my Router and not my PCs and laptops on our Lan, right ?

Anything else I should know ?

Thanks :)

Regards

I'm an admin from an infamous forum and i'm just wondering if there's a way to truly block a computer from accessing a forum other than their ip's. I'm tired everytime people come to my forum to troll. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. :) ]]> General Questions Mata Hari http://forum.whatismyip.com/showthread.php?t=624
