NPF proxy

Hi

Does anyone know if the proxy in Norton Personal Firewall will provide privacy while online and hide your ip? Thanks.

Hi quantify

To show something other than your true public/WAN IP when on the Internet you would need to use an anonymous proxy service. (log into their service/servers and surf thus showing a different IP)

Edit:
A couple of posts you can look at:

The proxy in NIS/NPF will filter things like cookies, referers, ads, active content and personal information.
