Your IP Address is 127.0.0.1 and we are haxing your computer now. Not even pressing Alt+F4 will save you now, noob.

With your IP, someone can HACK YOUR SHIT, KILL YOUR PARENTS, KILL YOUR FIRSTBORN SON, SLAUGHTER EVERYONE IN YOUR AREA, AND KILL YOUR GOD AND YOUR DOG.

Proxies are the standard way of hiding your IP address from oppressive governmental regimes.
