So now I'm using this, does this mean that my employers could no longer track the fact that I am always on here?

Of course they can.

But they don't know about all the porn that I look at, right?

No, dear.

Phew!
There's some pretty nasty stuff there, that could be embarrassing.

They'll see that number in the logs instead of 'b3ta.com', most probably.

And then they'll be curious
go to the IP address and see it gets you to a blocked site. Then they'll nobble the user for breaching IT policy.

I don't think I've got any blocked sites.
It was my boss who introduced me to b3ta.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 24 Sep 2012, 12:00, Reply)

So what is that number anyway?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 Sep 2012, 12:02, Reply)

The external IP for B3ta.
Think of it as like a post code.

Post? Code?

The real address of every website is a number
the IP address, but to save you having to remember the numbers DNS enables you to give them names instead, then translates them into numbers the Internet can understand.

Don't get sucked in.
He's like a black hole of ignorance. Giving him answers will only make him more powerful.

Nah, gonna get him to google for ipv6, see if I can get his head to explode.

I think if you suggest that he googles "google" you can probably get him trapped in a recursive loop

I was going to ask about DNS...
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 24 Sep 2012, 12:20, Reply)

I generally ask people to think about how much they actually want to know.
Turns out it's usually not much.
