What's good freeware nowadays to hide my static IP address?What I mostly want to do is hide my static IP address during: - Email (Google Gmail web) - Bittorrent (Linux Deluge) - NNTP news (40Tude Dialog)Googling, I found a confusing array of Linux freeware which purports to change your IP address and obfuscatethe data transmitted. Can you help make sense of which one or two freeware programs to install in order to hide the IP address and activity ofemail, torrent, and nntp usenet news posts such as this one?- Privoxy? ( Tor? ( BTGuard? ( VPN? ( TeamViewer 5, Wippien, LogMeIn Hamachi, OpenVPN Shield Exchange ?

Learn to use anonymous remailers and nym servers.

This Thunderbird message was posted with OmniMix, a local proxy server, which anonymizes your mail and usenet client's traffic by routing it through the Tor network, Mixmaster / Cypherpunk remailers and nym servers.

And there's QuickSilver, a standalone remailer application, which doesn't require an external mail client.

It should always be mentioned that Omnimix is closed source. It's an important consideration. By being honest and forthcoming, you give the prospective user the information to decide for his/her self whether it's an issue or not.
