There are very few ways if any to hide your ip address from a server since the ip address is used to send the data back to you.

Imagine trying to send data to a server but a server doesn't know where to send the data after? Lets just place it in the *nix /dev/null

You -> Server -> Huh? No Return Address. /dev/null

However that being said you can use a proxy to hide your identify to a certain extent, being the proxy server knows your ip address but uses the proxys ip address to return the requested data. For a world trip it would look like this:

You -> Proxy -> Server -> Proxy -> You

However adding proxies can seriously slow down your internet capabilities since quite a few proxies are on slow connections.

Don't bother trying with Renegade, without serious TCP/IP knowledge you won't be able to redirect the direct connection made with the game server through hidden connections. Sad netstat -b doesn't work for instance.


Let all your wishes be granted except one, so you will still have something to strieve for.
