Easy-Hide-IP hides your unique Internet address from online tracking so you can surf in total privacy. When it's active, your Internet traffic is routed through a series of servers, making it impossible to track by advertisers, hackers, and snoops.
Your IP address is a unique set of numbers that identifies your computer online. Think of it as a home address for your computer. Using a free web proxy or a VPN service allows you to hide your IP address by giving you one of theirs. This means your IP cannot be identified and tracked. There are many free. Journalists are especially likely to hide their IP addresses when they're reporting in dangerous areas or on sensitive subjects. Uses a series of computers distributed.
Pros
Tabbed interface: Tabs access Servers, Connections, and the Privacy Log for super-efficient operations. Buttons let us randomize and change connections at regular intervals. We could include apps and exclude Internet domains from traffic redirection, too.
Choose your geolocation: Easy-Hide-IP groups servers by host country, including many with multiple server options -- each identified by a national flag and displaying its signal strength. We just had to choose one and press Connect to appear in that country instead of our home country.
Privacy: The end-user license agreement makes clear that Easy-Hide-IP is intended solely to protect your privacy and should never be used to hide your identity for illegal or unethical activity.
Cons
Network settings: Allowing a program to change your network configuration on demand could cause issues in some systems. But Easy-Hide-IP has a Repair Installation button in the program settings to quickly restore your network settings.
Bottom Line
Disguising your IP is one of the most effective ways to protect your personal information. Easy-Hide-IP is one of the most effective tools of its type we've tried.
