Re: some threads that have appeared here about identifying someone by IP address.

Just for fun, you can click this link and see your IP address.

If you're on a dial-up connection with a large ISP, try disconnecting and reconnecting (then re-clicking the link or hitting "reload," of course) several times. You'll probably get a different number each time you do.

Well, blast it, the link doesn't work anymore. (I just tried it.) Anyone have another link?

Gary North had a link to it on his site, but I unbookmarked it. :)

There's a great new product to hide your IP address. Read about it here.

There are many places that will read your IP number for you. Try keepitsecret.com, anonymizer.com, idzap.com, etc etc etc.

Interesting. It identified my address as AOL proxy. It got my computer wrong, but identified by browser correctly. Otherwise it had little information on me, but a lot on AOL.
