<sect3 id="ip"><title>How can I hide my IP address?</title>
<para>
- You cannot hide your IP address with Junkbuster.
+ You cannot hide your IP address with Junkbuster or any other software, since
+the server needs to know your IP address to send the answer to you.
+</para>
+<para>
+Fortunately there are many publicly usable anonymous proxies out there, which
+solve the problem by providing a further level of indirection between you and
+the web server, shared by many people and thus letting your requests "drown"
+in white noise of unrelated requests as far as user tracking is concerned.
+</para>
+<para>
+Most of them will, however, log your IP address and make it available to the
+authorities in case you abuse that anonymity for criminal purposes. In fact
+you can't even rule out that some of them only exist to *collect* information
+on (those suspicious) people with a more than average preference for privacy.
