There is always a raging debate on the safety of IKS and this post was not meant to start it up again. It is simple 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 condemation of IKS.
Thanks for the quick answer, was wondering why people didn't simply use IP masking programs long ago for safety. Good explanation as to why it is not safe. Thanks for helping me make a decision on IKS. Not worth the risk.
