Nope. You're more challenging to trace, but it can be done. There is no such thing as being 100% anonymous on the Internet. Using various technologies, like a VPN, make it harder to find the source, but it can still be done. VPN leaves a crumb trail.
Bottom line, it's impossible to 100% anonymous on the Internet.
