I am ever so curious

[Jackboy]

What is an encrypted connection or summin on the router?

Also, when I enter chat stuff (the things that track you by your IP etc) I come up as French?

I live in UK but my IP location is france.

Lolbeans ?

depends on many things, mainly your ISP

IP is your ISPs problem.

Encryption means that no one can see what your going on WEP is crap, WPA-PSK is better.

Encryption as in WEP, WPA etc is wireless "passwords" if you wish they need to know the code to get access to your network wirelessly, but can still access it if your wired without the code

As for the IP it could be IP scrambler or proxy?
