Hide IP 4.02

Hide IP Editor's Review

Surf the Internet anonymously with the help provided by Hide IP. The program conceals your IP address by searching for and using proxy servers. When using this software you can securely surf the Web, without leaving traces of your identity. However, you should still note that certain proxy servers are transparent, revealing your true identity.

You can choose to change your proxy as often as you like, by selecting "Change Proxy" in the program menu. If you want to check if you really are anonymous, the program can do this for you. Well, in fact it opens a new Internet Explorer window, showing your new IP. The connection settings for Internet Explorer are changed automatically without a restart. Opera and Mozilla Firefox need to be restarted in order for the new settings to take effect.

Pluses: The program acts immediately when started. It scans for proxy servers and automatically changes the settings of your browsers. If you want to revert to your original IP, all you need to do is close the application. No system restart is required.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: A fast, easy to use, and reliable program.
