For hiding my IP from the place I'm
connecting to, there are plenty of
places I could tunnel through.. but..
What's the use case for hiding your IP
from the place you are connecting to? I
suppose you could be trying to use
multiple accounts for something that
only allows one account per household?
(On a side note, that def isn't
'privacy'). I would think the
authorities would be whoyou'd hide
your IP from. It's not like random
people could get your real personal
information by having your IP, but
authorities certainly can. Also as long
as authorities have access too all
upstream providers (and they do), they
can tell who all connections are
to/from regardless of using a VPN or
even TOR (most of the time, outside of
the Onion network).

Those public VPNs thatcharge money
are a total waste of money. Get
yourself a super cheap VPS and tunnel
through that. Also, there are TONS of
free proxies and whatnot out there,
too.
