"Can Fake IP Addresses Really Keep You Anonymous Online?"
Hey everyone, been thinking about this lately—how much do fake ip addresses *actually* hide you? Like, sure, they mask your real location, but is it enough to stay anonymous?
I’ve heard mixed things. Some say VPNs and proxies (which give you fake ip addresses) are solid, but others claim websites or ISPs can still sniff out the real you. Plus, if you log into accounts or leave cookies around, doesn’t that kinda defeat the purpose?
Also, how often do these fake ip addresses leak? Seen a few stories where tools just... fail mid-session. Scary stuff.
What’s your take? Are they reliable, or just a false sense of security?
(Ps—anyone know if big sites like Netflix or banks flag fake ip addresses? Heard rumors.)
