A true proxy will hide your IP address from the site you are browsing to. Your IP address will not be hidden from the proxy server though.
By definition, your computer makes a request to the proxy server, then the proxy server requests the information from the host site. Therefore the host site is only communicating with the proxy server, not your computer. So the host site will not see your IP address.
I use a proxy server daily which includes use for online orders and trying many online security check services. None have ever seen my PC's IP address.
Perhaps something like java could be used to run specific code on your computer's browser which may be able to ask your computer for it's IP address.
