Hi, I am very new to coding, and have purchased training videos on VB6, but I've not completed them as yet. I live in the United Arab Emirates, and everything runs under one proxy :wtf:. This being a muslim country, they block all sorts of content, including some sites that have tools that I need. I have some sample code to create an internet browser, and was wondering if I could code into it to hide my IP while browsing? Any help would be appreciated, and I look forward to becoming a pro and helping n00bs like myself on this site. Jannie the n00b.

You just wasted your money. VB6 has long since been dead. VB.NET 2008 Express Edition is free and can be found here[^].

There is no such thing. If you could hide the IP, how then would the server figure out where to send the page your downloading? There is no way to completely prevent someone from finding you. And nothing you can do to make it harder to find you by writing code into your browser.

Oh I know, I have Vstudio 2008 installed and trying to watch the vids and use VB8 to code. Not easy, but getting there.
Soooooo, you're trying to use VB.NET 2008 code in VB6?? Yeah, good luck with that. You're going to need it.

No I think you misunderstood. I am watching the VB 6 videos, but I have 2008 installed. So i am trying the code they show me in vb6 on the vb8 installation. Very different I know. Most of it does work though(vb6 theory in VB8)

No, not really. The point is if you're using the VB6 IDE, compiler, and/or technqiues, you're really wasting your time. VB6 is not an OOP-compliant language. You're really teaching yourself a lot of bad habits by using it and making your job harder learning the true OOP techniques of VB.NET.
