People who don't broadcast their IP address?

What did he mean by that? Is there a way to set up a particular Bitcoin client so that it does not broadcast my IP address or to make it more private in other ways?

Sure. Install Tor and add tor=1 to your bitcoin.conf.

But is that what Tom van der Woerdt meant? – Inqier X – 2013-05-25T16:38:10.963

Tor is the easiest and most effective way of protecting your IP address. – Nick ODell – 2013-05-25T16:43:24.833

It's not very effective. It's slow as hell. – Inqier X – 2013-05-25T17:01:33.163

@InqierX You mean efficient? You can use a VPN, it will probably be faster. – ChocoDeveloper – 2013-05-28T01:58:46.690
