I haven't tried it, but it sounds like this will technically work.
HOWEVER, it won't help anything, least of all your privacy. You can't get very much info from someone's IP address to begin with. The only reason ANYBODY tracks IPs is for the sake of identifying people who simply wish to cause problems for this site.
If anything, this will cause more problems than it solves. They'd have to block EVERY website that people on here have, as well as Fairfax Underground itself (as Cary can see your IP address, too). Besides the risk of fucking up a system file, it can lull people into a false sense of security.
The only 100% effective way to hide yourself from the scary internet people is to turn off your computer, unplug it, drop it out a 10 story window, and don't bother replacing it.
