 Here are the main features and advantages of ngPost:
 -   **full obfuscation of the Article Header** : the Subject will be a UUID (as the msg-id) and a random Poster will be used. **Be Careful**, using this, you won't be able to find your post on Usenet (or any Indexers) if you lose the NZB file. But using this method is **completely safe**, **no need to obfuscate your files or even tp use a password**.
