I often receive junk email from strangers. I guess they saw my IP adress. I am troubled a lot. How can I hide my IP adress?
what is VPN? Where can I find it? I am not familiar with computer stuff. Hope you guys can explain to me. Thank you very much.
hotspotshield.com is a good site, it is a VPN. Easy to use and simple. I would also like to state that your email can't get spammed from someone finding out your IP address unless some how your using your ISP email and they let spam email accounts send you mail. Then you can just request a block. Other than that they have gained your email account. not IP.
this topic relates to how to fake identity of your machine in the network, if you don't want to others identify you in the nework, I think not only IP but also OS, Browser, UserAgenting etc are also need mask or fake. I have certain knowledge in this area, if you need support please let me know.
Unfortunately, it is not technically possible to always hide the public IP address of a home network. An IP address enables devices to locate and communicate with each other on the Internet. Completely hiding the IP address of a device would render it invisible but also unusable online. On the other hand, it is possible to hide public IP addreseses from most Internet servers in most situations. This method involves an Internet service called an anonymous proxy server.
You should install a spam filter in your email account. And I dont think its your IP they are using, its your email address.
