2 - In case it's usefulÂ… I can think of at least
three instances where I can communicate
successfully with a website, without that website knowing my IP address:
A trivial case: when I'm behind a network
component that performs Network Address Translation
A more general case: When I'm using TOR (The
Onion Router) and my traffic passes through one or more intermediary nodes
A more specific case: when I use
privacy-enhanced search tools like IXQuick or DuckDuckGo
I'll skip the ToR case to keep matters easy. The
two other cases would fit under "trusted" middle
in my opinion. That takes us from privacy
concerns to security concerns. Some of the
control (word used loosely) is moved from the
user to somebody else. We are indirectly trading privacy for something else.
