There is a time and a place like the lounge for instance, where responses can be lighthearted and inane, but that was a complete brain fart in the middle of a serious discussion that hopefully was actually leading somewhere for once without the usual flaming or (until now) inane posts.
In reply to that though, one of my first jobs in the computer industry was working E.C.N.Z. (Electricity Corporation of New Zealand) setting up S.C.A.D.A. in the power stations throughout the North Island of New Zealand. The PC's used to access the S.C.A.D.A. system locally by the operators onsite at the power stations were XENIX workstations. XENIX was an X86 UNIX platform. This was before Linux, the O/S did not have a G.U.I. and in fact each interface was designed individually for each power station.
When off-site I would telnet into the machines to update them as a matter of course as part of my job, so as I said before I did this for years, well just on 2 years to be precise since that was the length of my contract.

Encryption magic.
Encryption/VPN would allow me to hide my real internet IP address? In this case, other people would see my fake internet IP address, instead of the real one, right?

Yes, a VPN or Virtual Private Network is a point to point tunneling protocol, that in effect as it sounds creates an encrypted tunnel between the two I.P. addresses.
Re: Which VPN do you use?
Just think of a really long network cable that connects you to a router on another location. You can be part of their local network, and more importantly, gain access to the Internet via their gateway. People can't see what you're transferring, because it's going through the cable (encrypted).
I'm bad with analogies, but I think that sums it up pretty well.
Re: Which VPN do you use?
By using a secure and anonymous connection through Banana VPN's in the USA or UK, you will get full internet access in places that censor or block your connection and strong protection when using public Wifi - my friend told me that who stays in US.
Or You can use Happy -VPN which is also good .....

We'll just have to wait to see if the next post is the beginning of the spamfest or if we get treated to a nice spammy signature, what's your bet? :blink:
Re: Which VPN do you use?
Since virtually no one has recommended specific VPNs that they use, perhaps advertisements are better than nothing.
Re: Which VPN do you use?
I like getting cheap servers, I have one with edis.at right now. But for straight up VPN service, I guess this list is pretty good:

Re: Which VPN do you use?
But that list only deals with the issue of anonymity . A lot of us on the other hand are also concerned with issues like download speed, connection reliability, price... For example: "I tried AirVPN and no matter what server I choose I never get a download speed of more than 1 mbps although my connection is 16 mbps" http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=324627 (that thread has a poll but few responded)
