    Hi,

    Is there way to hide or protect my proxy? I don't know, lately there are many companies that has a legal rights go through our information (Viacom). I guess, I am not comfortable sharing my information with anyone that I don't know.

    thanks,

    There are loads of ways to do it, but it is used more for illegal purposes rather than legal purposes.. :D

    I know I am doing it for my privacy. Is it illegal to block/hide my proxy?

    Guys:

    I'm sorry but I have to close this thread. Information like this could be used to bypass security, which is something we can't be responsible for. Thanks for understanding.
