If you are a privacy freak like me and want to hide you  to mask or hide  your actual IP address while browsing webpages online to avoid anyone tracking you or trying to spam you based on your online information, then  you need to use annonymous proxies or redirect all your traffic to VPN so that your online identity is hidden.

IP Hider is such a easy tool to hide your Real IP address while surfing online, providing online privacy and anonymous web surfing. It provides proxy servers in US, UK, CA, DE, NL, FR, NL, IE and DE & users can select  IPs in all these countries just selecting a different sever.

It is a very simple to setup and use. If you dont want to download any setup or installer, you can just configure your browser to use these proxy servers. If you are a windows user, you can download the installer. In brief, to use AllAnonymity proxy service, choose one of the following setup options. Important! do NOT use both options at a time!

1. Manually configure your browsers to use AllAnonymity servers. Detailed instructions can be found easily on the help area (for ALL users).

OR

2. Download IP Hider to automatically configure your browsers to use AllAnonymity proxies (only for Windows users)

After you are done with installation of the IPHider, you can just select the Server from any of the countries listed and click on “Enable Anonymity” and you are done. All your internet traffic will now get routed through the server you just selected. If you minimize the window, then it will stay in task-bar area and your Internet connection will be through the proxy server that you just choose unless you decide to revert back to default by opening it again and stopping it.

There is a smart mode too which basically lets you choose servers using the Map and nothing different.

SPEED AND PERFORMANCE

Now the most important part, the speed and how good it is to hide your IP. I tested with a trial account and what I did to check the speed? I just opened Hulu and Watched few videos and wow, they all played great without any buffering on my 2 mbps speed. No lag or delays were experienced and hence for me it worked great.

As I said before, the best part with this tool is

  1. it’s too easy to setup or configure.
  2. You can even set it up without installing anything on your system, by just using your browser.
  3. If IPHider client is installed, it does everything in just a click and you need not worry about configuring anything else.
  4. Speed is good.

Cons:

I am still to find any.

It works with Windows XP, Windows2000, Windows2003, Windows Vista. On any other OS (MAC, Linux, iPad, iPhone etc), you can use it by manually configuring the browsers.
