Whilst being Mr. Asshat, I got to explore the functionality of the TOR plugin for FireFox.  This is software that routes your browsing through other servers, masking your IP address.  It is kinda slow, but is an interesting plugin and worth looking at for those interested in privacy issues.

I also used MyWebsiteCloak as well, which was faster. I hadn't even delved into the deeper darker world of more complex IP masking and changing, but am inspired to do so now!  I would encourage anyone interested in privacy issues to look at some of this stuff.

EFF has lots of related goodies including on privacy matters.

TOR ends up very slow in my experience, I think folks continue to work on it and improve it. I use the Cloak site sometimes. Awhile ago a lot of my research on particular themes meant I'd be best be somewhat stealthy.
