Assume the site itself does not need security, so all original blogs posted by the site author would reveal the IP as usual. But the objective would be to disguise all guest blogger and blog comments. Enabling ordinary anonymous comments (by not registering) still does not conceal the IP of those commenters, right? Do they have to have Firefox and Tor at their end to conceal the IP of their comments? If so, this seems like overkill. Isn't there a more simple way to receive and post comments, and then block access to their associated IP from others that visit the site who try to identify them? (Assume the ISP would get the IP records, but no one else could.) Thanks. How can security be provided only for visitors to a blog site?
