It’s because Startpage utilizes Google results (privately) — Google still has the most comprehensive search results.

Their is a lot of disconnect.me services.

They provide :

Anti-trackers
Anti-Google-trackers
Anti-Facebook-trackers
Anti-Twitter-trackers
Proxy
Search engine

I believe (I don’t want to laught at you Ron) that Ron look at the proxy’s description and installed an anti-tracker. So his IP is clearly visible.

Personnaly I really like your website. A lot of data interesting. I’m doing like the same with some friends, but in french, stored here : http://sinformer.wikia.com/wiki/Comment_%C3%AAtre_anonyme_sur_internet

(Maybe one day I will translate)

And I just found a way to use bittorrent protocol using a free VPN : http://hide.me

It looks like to be the only one VPN that freely accepts to run bittorrent.

Thanks again, your job is really great. And I hope my advise for torrent will helps some.

Thanks for the feedback.

Where does Disconnect claim to hide your IP address? This is what they state in their FAQ:

How does Disconnect Search work? Disconnect Private Search protects your privacy in four ways:

1. Search queries are routed through Disconnect’s servers, which makes the queries look like they’re coming from Disconnect instead of your computer.

2. Search engines are prevented from passing keywords to the sites you visit from search results pages.

3. All queries are encrypted, which prevents your ISP and eavesdroppers in your network from seeing them.

4. Disconnect doesn’t log any keywords, personal information, or IP addresses.

FYI: Disconnect does NOT hide your IP as it states. I thought it looked great but then my IP is still clearly found when I use it. The app does not hide your IP either.

I love your site here. Great information!
