Trace your IP.

On http://www.tracemyip.org/ you can check your IP and stuff. Are all the detals correct? If you do want to post a picture, censor anything you don't want people to see, people such as paedophiles and other perverted internet trash.#

It doesn't, the browser sends that as part of the user agent, or it's detectable through JavaScript.
