Are there any web based E-mail accounts that will hide my IP address?
Are there any web based E-mail accounts that will hide my IP address?
If I wanted to be anonymous, the only way that is a sure thing is to use a computer at a cyber cafe with cash,
or to go to the public library.
If you use your computer, you're tagged. If you use someone else's computer on your internet connection, they got you again. If you use your computer on a hot spot, its still your IP.
You have to go to a public computer center or get someone else's computer at an internet connection other that your own. These are the only ways I can think of preserving your privacy.
Many cyber cafes now have security cameras. Some in Europe (especially Italy) require identification (e.g. passport copy) before you can use their machines -- all allegedly in the name of 'fighting terrorism.'
Good idea, if the library's computers are not too locked-down.
You also don't know how extensive the logging/filtering is on library computers.
Hotspots are usually bad news, unless you're running a VPN. Just look at the success of FireSheep.
If I were in his shoes, I'd use Tor. Goto torproject.org for details.

I pay 46 bucks a year for a VPN from StrongVPN. Easy to setup, fast speeds, and total anonymous private everything. Also switches IP, and allows for additional switches if needed. Best bet and not to bad on the wallet.
