Its not me saying it. I did not write the article. Author is unknown but yes that is what he is saying since you cannot load the program on the dongle, it has to run on your PC and only blocks your PC. If someone really is trying to track your IP they will do it. Question is not if they can but if it is worth their while to do so.

There is always a raging debate on the safety of IKS and this post was not meant to start it up again. It is simply a post meant to explain exactly what IKS and ICS is since this question gets asked many times here and few people have a good understanding of how it works. I thought this was the best explanation I have seen so far. It is meant only as education for those that are interested in learning.

It is not meant as an endorsement nor a condemnation of IKS.
