Your IP address will appear as the server's IP address, hiding your real IP. Use a Proxy Server: A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet. It forwards your ...
Unix-like operating systems commonly implement IP address blocking using a TCP wrapper, configured by host access control files /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow.. Both companies and schools offering remote user access use Linux programs such as DenyHosts or Fail2ban for protection from unauthorized access while allowing permitted remote access.

The Internet has two main name spaces, IP addresses and the Domain Name System. HIP separates the end-point identifier and locator roles of IP addresses. It introduces a Host Identity (HI) name space, based on a public key security infrastructure. The Host Identity Protocol provides secure methods for IP multihoming and mobile computing.
Tor is an anonymous communication system that allows users to hide their IP addresses. [10] It also has layers of encryption that protect information sent between users from eavesdropping attempts trying to observe the network traffic. [10] However, Tor exit nodes are used to eavesdrop at the end of the network traffic. [10]
A HAIPE is an IP encryption device, looking up the destination IP address of a packet in its internal Security Association Database (SAD) and picking the encrypted tunnel based on the appropriate entry. For new communications, HAIPEs use the internal Security Policy Database (SPD) to set up new tunnels with the appropriate algorithms and settings.
Network cloaking obscures devices through the cloaking system. It differs from a firewall, which allows specific types of traffic in. The system does not respond to scans, and the devices behind it cannot be discovered or analyzed, preventing known or zero-day vulnerability exploitation. The internal devices cannot be accessed unless connected ...
Transparency in firewall technology can be defined at the networking (IP or Internet layer) or at the application layer. Transparency at the IP layer means the client targets the real IP address of the server. If a connection is non-transparent, then the client targets an intermediate host (address), which could be a proxy or a caching server.
