IP Addys

An Ip addy is your virtual address just like your home address. It tells where you are. Ips are given to both computers and websites. A dynamic ip changes each time you access the internet. A static ip  , usually cable, stays the same.

free Ping Trace Who Is?

Privacy Analysis Test

Sites can tell your ip addy, who your isp is what kind of browser you used, your screen resolution, what site you visited last, what OS your running all that good stuff. Now don't freak out most of us who pay attention to that just want to know who we are designing for ...screen resolution...browser ect. I wouldn't get too worried about it I think a lot of people tend to over panic about getting hacked if you practice good security techniques you will be just fine *looking around all paranoid now* a good firewall and some changes in settings should cover you. Just to show you here's my ip 24.70.85.1 you can use the free trace link above to trace it ....its me eh the trace will bring you close enough to know that but it dies when it hits my hardware firewall (physical) and doesnt actually reach my computer which shows what good privacy and security settings can do. Still just the thought of all this information being collected is unnerving. there's lots of good tests and privacy software out there so you should be able to hit a level where you feel confident and safe with minimal effort.
