How do I hide my IP address?

Hi
I know that there's software for PCs to hide IP addresses but does anyone know if there is anything for Macs?

Well, he's right about Yahoo!, though I would swear I didn't see my IP address in the full headers when I checked the other day. However, at the this moment, he's wrong about Gmail. I just sent an email to myself to two different accounts, and in neither one did my home IP address show up.
I'm starting to think that my initial feelings are correct and that there is no way of withholding an email IP address if you have a Mac computer (unless your broadband provider happens to permit SSL)
SSL has nothing to do with whether or not the IP address shows up in email headers. I connect to my .Mac account with SSL and my home IP address shows up in the headers.
Since this is only a problem for Mac users (PC users having plenty of software to do this) perhaps the Apple Mac people might consider putting out a software update for Mac email?
I'm with etresoft here, this isn't really a "problem" to me. I can see certain specific circumstances where it might be a good thing for a specific person to have the IP address hidden, but for the vast majority (99.99%) of people, it's just a complete non-issue.

  • How to hide the to address

    I am sending a email to a list of addresses seperated by comma. The to address (all email addresses) is shown to all persons. How do I hide the to address from showing ?

    Insert the addresses you want to hide in the BCC field instead of TO field.

  • How do I hide the address bar when fullscreening "popup" windows?

    Sky TV's video player has a bad fullscreen implementation - you can make the player go true fullscreen but it reverts when it loses focus, so I can't multitask on my two monitors.
    The best workaround I've found is to use their "pop-out" player, which opens a new "popup"-style window (locked address bar, no search bar etc.) and I can then fullscreen the window itself (rather than the player). This allows me to hide
    - the window outline
    - the window title bar
    - the Windows start menu
    and it stays fullscreened when it loses focus.
    However, this does not hide the window address bar. On a normal Firefox fullscreened window this slides out of view after a short time; on the locked "popup" style window it does not.
    On the offchance that treating "popup" windows differently is a deliberate Firefox security policy... can I disable it?

    You only need to select the pop-up window after having opened the Browser Console or open the console before opening the pop-up to make that window the MostRecentWindow.

  • How can I hide the bookmarks sidebar once I've selected a site to got to? At the moment it remains, taking up a huge proportion of the screen and requires another click to get rid of.

    how to auto hide bookmarks side bar

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • How can I remove my email address from the lock screen?

    How do I remove my email address from the lock screen? My dad bought me a new laptop after mine was stolen from my house on New Year's Eve. I'm a little tighter on my security now and when I turn on my laptop the lock screen shows me my name and my email
    address. If my laptop gets stolen again, I don't want my email address to be displayed for someone to use or sell as I'm extremely picky about what I'm giving out my email for. If there isn't a way to hide my email address, I'm going to demand a "downgrade"
    from this Windows 8 s**t and back to the more user-friendly and less confusing Windows 7. (And for the record, I hate Windows 8. With a passion.)

  • How do I Hide a Row in a Table in a Pages document?

    How do I hide a row or column? There is a command to "unhide" but not to hide. Because I cannot hide anything, the unhide command is greyed out - what did Apple do with the Hide Rows command for Tables in Pages? Hide it? lol!
    It does not show up in a search of Help - in fact, there isn't even a mention of "unhide" despite there being a command for it!
    Why do I want to hide a row? Because if I have an 8 row table in a Pages Template and I only need six of them, deleting the other two breaks all the formulae and inserts #Ref! errors across each formula, rather than automatically altering cell references as other spreadsheets do. In Numbers hiding the cells makes them disappear and does not break the formulae, but this behaviour seems to be missing from Pages.
    Or is it me that has missed somethng?

    I thought that the descriptions given in the Help are clear.
    The ADDRESS function constructs a cell address string from separate row, column, and table identifiers.
    ADDRESS(row, column, [type], [style], [table])
    row: The row number of the address.
    column: The column number of the address.
    I dropped the comments about type, style and table as I don't use them here.
    =IF(ISBLANK(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),1))),"",INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),2))*INDIRECT(A DDRESS(ROW(),3)))
    INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),1))
    returns the contents of the cell whose row is the same than the one containing the formula \[the row number is given by ROW()] and whose column is the 1st one)
    INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),2))
    returns the contents of the cell whose row is the same than the one containing the formula \[the row number is given by ROW()] and whose column is the 2nd one)
    INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),3))
    returns the contents of the cell whose row is the same than the one containing the formula \[the row number is given by ROW()] and whose column is the 3rd one)
    In short, when the formula is applied in row 9 it behaves like:
    =IF(ISBLANK(A9),"",B9*C9)
    The long syntax is required to be able to enter it only once in the header cell as described in the Help and in the PDF User Guide in a chapter entitled "Applying a Formula Once to Cells in a Column or Row".
    As we want to use such a formula, it would be odd to destroy its ability using a different formula in a standard bottom row.
    More, in a footer row, we may use shorter formulas than in other rows.
    In a standard row 10 we would have to write =SUM(D2:D9)
    in a footer row we enter only =SUM(D) which add the contents of every standard cells of the column D.
    This feature is also described in the named resources.

  • How do I hide the recipients' names when I send an email to lots of people?

    I'm going to send a message to a lot of people I know, and I think some of them would rather not have their email addresses showing. How do I hide them?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • ** HIDE MY IP ADDRESS **

    Hello!
    From what I understand, the reason why I can't post the same ad multiple times on craigslist is because it reads my IP address. I know I can post the same ad using multiple email addresses, but if the IP reading is correct how can I hide my IP so I can post many of the same ads?
    I only ask because we are running a local charity event and I would like to post the event in many different cities around my area.
    If you know how I can do this, please let me know.
    Thank you for your time!
    Mike

    You would need to use some kind of Proxy service so that it is the Proxy service's IP address that is seen.
    The Internet needs IP addresses, just like the Post Office needs addresses, otherwise messages would never be delivered. A Proxy server would be similar to a PO Box.
    There are valid reasons for using Proxy servers.

  • How can I hide my e-mail???

    How can I hide my e-mail???

    Hi, Smittycoco, and welcome to the Community,
    Your Skype account's registered e-mail address is not displayed anywhere.  You are the only one who can see it.  You may, however, remove e-mail addresses from your Profile settings -- even though e-mail addresses added there are again only viewable by you (private) and used only as a way for your friends, family, and colleagues to locate you on Skype.
    If there is something I am mistaking or missing, please do post back with a screen shot where you are seeing your e-mail address displayed.  Please, redact or 'white out' any personal information before uploading your screen shot.
    Regards,
    Elaine

  • How do i hide former recipients when i forward an email

    if my friend emails me a message that has prior recipients how to i hide those names and addresses if i want to forward his message to someone else?

    I just hit "forward", then once in the message box, I delete all the previous messages, which included the former recipients.  I just send the new current message to the one person I want to see it.  Just make sure you don't hit "reply to all". .  Good luck.

  • How do I hide email addressees

    How do I hide email addressees when I send an email to multiple recipients?

    Hide the email addresses of your recipients so they don’t see each other’s addresses.
    Enter your recipients’ email addresses in the Bcc field (leave the To field blank).
    For a group address, choose Mail > Preferences, click Composing, then deselect “When sending to a group, show all member addresses.” Recipients see “Undisclosed-recipients” in the To field.

  • How can I use one gmail address on two different macbooks in 'mail'?

    I'm using one business gmail address. Me and my girlfriend both have a macbook. Now the gmail address is linked to my macbook. But she wants to use it as well. Unfortunately the 'mail' system won't allow her to sync with the gmail address. And I get messages from gmail saying that someone tried to log in to my account. Which is something I certainly want, but can't change. Does anyone now how I can use 1 gmail address on two different mac's? Thanks

    You may be able to change the suspicious account activity message alerts
    in your Gmail settings, and check that side of it, since I can use several
    means of accessing my Gmail and Google Accounts; and in the past had
    shared an account (not google) with another party half a world away when
    her email server went down for a month.
    The Mail software should not know the difference, unless the setup in there
    is not correct; if this is so, then more than what she says would be wrong.
    The Google mail Support help site pages should cover this adequately.
