And no Dan, I'm not afraid someone is trying to attack me. LOL.
I want this because I am a bit rebellious. Yahoo is tracking people's footprints on the internet, by their IP addy. I just want to throw a wrench in it, without having to opt out. ;o) Plus I figure if yahoo can do it, others could too. ;o)
Your public IP will still be seen; it's simply moved to your router instead of being on your computer. It has to be - otherwise packets could never get back to you!
If you really really really want to obfuscate your public IP, then route yourself thru several open-proxy servers. That way the IP the destination (eg: Yahoo) sees has nothing to do with you. Of course, you pay a serious performance penalty for doing this, but...
