Hidding external IP address?

EgoX · 12-08-2010, 02:36 AM

Hello,

Situation example: I have service runing on linux machine with external IP given by my ISP, but for privacy reasons i need to hide that IP (from RIPE, other WHOIS requests) by another IP before giving users to connect.

Only one port. No big bandwith, only as much as possible low latency. Any ideas what to do or what to order?

Thank you all in advance.

You can't hide it, man, unless you don't want anybody to be using your service.

That address is how they connect to you.

But isn`t it possible to hide that external IP by for example owned VPS external IP address? Somehow foward packets or so.

You could use a proxy and forward all your traffic through that.
