Hi guys,
I've been searching every where for help with this.. hopefully some can point me in the right direction..
I've intalled xampp and am hosting my own domain...
The problem I have is I don't know how to mask or hide the IP address of the host when someone navigates through the site.. you can easly see in the information bar or copy the link location like this.. http://97.460.57.264/joomla15/index.php/contact-us.html
why isn't apache server returning the domain name like this http://mysite.com/contact-us.html enstead??
I was told that setting up a virtual host with the SeverName maker declaring http://mysite.com would fix it.. but, that has done it.. am I missing something??
thank you in advance
** IP and web site name changed for privacy

That's not the job from Apache.
--> Your browser is just showing you, what it can find in the HTML output. And the HTML was made from you (or a PHP/Perl script).

I don't know your script, and how this script is creating the URIs for the links at the moment...

If you are in the HTML source view (in your bowser), how does the links looks like?

In the source page, all the links have this tag:
<a href="/joomla15/index.php?page=shop.browse&category=&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1">
So, when you hover each link the browers returns http://IPaddress/joomla15/index.php...etc...
<a href="/joomla15/index.php?page=shop.browse&category=&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1">
So, when you hover each link the browers returns http://IPaddress/joomla15/index.php...etc...

How did you load the page in your browser?

No. I want know the URI, you are using in your browser, to load the page.

Got URI with pm.
OK. XAMPP can't help you with this issue. Your domain is hosted on another server, and this server is doing a redirect to the IP from your XAMPP server.

Right, I just have that subdomain A record pointing to the XAMPP server.. there's no way of masking or configuring differently to return the sub-domain enstead of the IP?

I guess you can Joomla configure to create URI's with the sub-subdomain.
But:
Just test yourself: Change the ip in the address bar to your sub domain name and press enter and see what happens.
there's no way of masking
If you can use a "frame redirect" instead of a normal redirect, the address bar would not change. But frames are not user and seo friendly. And in the source code or status bar you can still see your ip.

VPN is the best choice. I use this VPN to hide my IP address https://www.waselpro.com/en/there are many other servers. all servers are encrypted, this one worked great for me.
