computers in internet are identified thru ip addresses which are unique to each system
. These are similar to our real world postal address or like our cellphone number.
we donot wish to give either our cell no or our address to an intruder.
In the same manner hiding ur ip address in the net has got utmost importance.
why iam i saying all this is bcoz usually if any hacker gets some working ip address he portscans the computers looking for any open ports("they are like doors of our house in te real world we dont want our doors kept open in the night am i right") on our system .if he finds any open port he will try to hack by sending some trojans disguised as updates to antivirus. so if we hide our ip address then no one ever gets our ip thus v are secure to do this v hav to browse the net thru a proxy server .they are like masks protecting our anonymity they give away their ip instead of ours thus protecting us .This is also one of the common methods used by hackers to secure their identity from being caught by fbi or interpol .....................
