granted, that's a little over simplified, but it works.. (and doesnt log your IP )

who wants to explain what this is useful for to me? Nice, elfprince.
getting people's IPs?
I had to do some research on right to privacy for social studies.......people were seriously disturbed....especially after I did a whois on a school IP then showed them that it brought us too the website of the schools ISP.....
and yes, that it is just a redirect. It logs your IP, browser, OS, and your query, then redirects you to Google.

thats not really a privacy issue. Knowing an ISP will just identify your rough location (city/state), and not much else. Someone could proceed to attack your IP, but unless you have opened/forwarded ports in your firewall (or are running in DMZ mode) you won't get touched.

it was mostly to show how much information someone can collect about you in half a second.
and I show up directly between my house and my school on the usermap....the 2 places I visit Cemetech.

Kllrnohj: you can tell exact location of your ISP from your IP. See the Usermap.
I'm not on the usermap

ROFL! no, i certainly am not (st. louis, MO - but it was close )
Btw, ISP location lookups are only ~95% accurate at most, meaning you will only get City/State accurately, not my exact address/location (i've gone to other sites, and they get city/state right, but are off in the "exact" location that is shown on a geo map)

I double-posted but couldn't find the delete button...
Cool. I don't want anyone I don't know personally to know where I live, so I'll just leave this alone.
Obviously it's not working properly, so my location is safe. If it was working properly, I'm surprised to find Kerm in the Arctic Circle.
