I have heard many things, useing a bounce which costs $$ or proxy which is free.. I am broke so Im leaning towards the free option.. Everytime i log into irc with mirc it seems everyone can see my real host and ip and everything which is not cool at all.. any of these people can try to hack my box
I see others on there with cool hosts like imabadass@whatever.com ,i want to be able to have a cool host name like them.. how is this done? i have googled and searched for hours, i think a answer from someone who knows what they are doing and can directly answer my question would be very beneficial.
any links or help info is much appriciated.. also if proxy is the best answer where should i set it up, on mirc settings or in windows settings or both??
thank you!

Security through obscurity is a bad idea, regardless. I think you should have your system set up so your not afraid to have to your ip displayed in the l33test of IRC chans. That is what you should strive for - set up a good IDS/IPS and work on your firewall rules so you are not afraid. That is your BEST OPTION.

I am leaning towards this I think, I have never set up a server before, I have always paid for a hosting company.Big-E wrote:Security through obscurity is a bad idea, regardless.

So my hostname will change to whatever domain name I have on irc? (i allready have like 5 domain names threw godaddy but hosted somewhere else)
that would be nice, I am also wanting to setup a server, I just got windows server 2008, and want to try and setup a server with VMware. that would be perfect then I can try to hack my own server.. with server 2008 can I add other home edition PC's on my home LAN and view the screens without them knowing? like screenagent or such?
What would be the most secure setting? Linux with VMware and windows server 08 running? ubuntu server? windows with vmware and linux server, freebsd with some kind of gui? (since im a noob?) I am best with windows and DOS. thanks
