Finally me... As I read through this forum, I felt surrounded by weightless
gray matter. Which by the way is more brown than gray. Most users know that
the usage of web sites to check local IP is history. Its just that little
spyware thing they got going on. Do you agree with me, ME?

If a Web site does not know your IP address it can't send back the
information needed to display the site.

Frank,
With all due respect, I submit this final comment...

I block my IP address while online through proxying. I never have any
problems viewing web site contents or features. "You may have anti-virus
software and personal firewall prorgams. You might even have the latest
service packs and anti-spyware applications. But as long as your computer's
IP address isn't anonymized, you're still at risk. Every computer, by
default, broadcasts an IP address. And we're all aware that a sufficiently
determined and malicious individual could potentially track you down and
figure out exactly what you're doing, at any time!
Without an IP blocker, you're at the risk of overt attacks or snooping. At
best, that means your Internet access could be disrupted. At worst, someone
could steal your banking information or personal data." InvisibleIP.com

ok, so now let me ask a silly question. I have a router between my DSL
modem and the PC. The Router also uses NAT. From what I can figure out
is this: since I have this router, a hacker can not get my PC IP,
especially if I use a firewall on the PC.
Right or Wrong?
Just asking since my curiosity had been pinched.
