Title: How can I hide my Real IP Address on I.E.
Post by: chingok on November 29, 2004, 08:07:08 am

I am a begginer of Coppermine and I don't know any PHP.  I had been setup my gallery with No-ip Service and the gallery work correctly.  I am using a router for my two desktops.  But I have a question about my Real IP Address,  when my friends use the mouse and point to the links of the gallery.  My Real IP Address will be showed at the lower left position of I.E.  I think it is not safety on the internet and I wanna to show my No-ip Domain only.  What can I do on it?   ??? ??? ???

Maybe by providing a little more info someone knows the answer.. like where is your cpg , at what url. What address did you enter in the config page of cpg etc..

If you are hosting the server how on earth do you expect people to not know your ip address ??

If you're worried about people discovering your ip address, you shouldn't be self-hosting.  Truth be told, you shouldn't be self-hosting anyway - unless you know how to completely secure your webserver, machine, and OS.

What he says ;)

Try finding a good webhosting service. Probably the only legal way to stop people from knowing your home IP address.
