    just use an Anonymous-Proxy or even better, Anonymous-Proxy-Chain... free, easy to setup and prevents people from seing your IP address
    has drawbacks... (slower internet speeds and may loose packets)

    And there is no guarantee that they will not release your IP address to police/gov/authorities if they are required to with a court order. This website (proxy) will have your actual IP address (they need this to send the webpages onto you). You are paying money for no 'real' extra protection.
