IP spoofing or something like that
 
If there's a website which I would like people to get to, but don't want people to know the IP for, is there a way? (it seems impossible)

So what is IP spoofing then?

If I'm connecting TO a website and I want to hide my identity.....how?


Thanks.

This seems to be a common request for people who want to keep their anomnimoity on the internet. One of the more popular sites for this is

Code:

http://www.anonymizer.com
As for ip spoofing, this is the act of forging packets with fake source address information to hide where the packets come from. There are plenty of resources on the internet about this, google is your friend. Also you can google for sites like anonymizer, I'm sure there are plenty more.

The TCP handshake requires a return address. So there isn't something you can do to browse as a different IP unless you are going through a third party proxy or a thor network. For a third party proxy, you need to trust them. For the THOR network, you are exposed on the first and last server, and you don't know who that could be. The first one will have your IP, and the first and last one will have access to unencrypted traffic unless you use https/tls to browse.
