I'm using Steganos Internet Anonym for web surfing, and upon registering on
sites that require payment info i see my IP # displayed on the bottom of the
page warning against fraud. I've disabled all ActiveX options in my IE
browser as I was told this could give up info. Is there something else I
should be dis/enabling? What's the most secure settings using proxies?

Thanks for any help

WinXP Sp2
IE 6.0
ZAP firewall

I guess this Steganos stuff is running on the same machine as the IE - so of
course the IP address is known to the web server, how else should it reply
to your query?

Maybe have a look at http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de

Steganos Internet Anonym is snake oil software. It does not implement
onion routing, and it does not implement something dependable.

Better use AN.ON or Tor if you want to be anonymous.

And don't use Internet Explorer for the web, until Microsoft has an
alternate browser, which does not support ActiveX and ActiveScripting any
more.

Try "TOR" and "PRIVOXY" together...

Privoxy captures all your outgoing packets, filters incoming, uses TOR to
send and receive your encrypted packets trough an anonymous random maze of
TOR servers... I use it on public WiFi connections for an additional layer
of network security.
