Did you know your IP address is exposed every time you visit a website? Your IP address is your online identity and could be used by hackers to break into your computer, steal personal information, or commit other crimes against you. Hide My IP allows you to surf anonymously, change your IP address, prevent identity theft, and guard against hacker intrusions, all with the click of a button.
How Does Hide My IP Work?
When your computer connects to the Internet normally, it is assigned an IP address by your Internet Service Provider. This IP address is used to keep track of your communications with all websites or any program that connects to the Internet. This is known as a Direct Internet Connection.
When you install and run Hide My IP on your computer, it will modify your Internet Connection Settings, telling your computer to make connections through a Fake IP Relay provided by Hide My IP.
Hide My IP is compatible with may web browsers such as Internet Explorer, FireFox, Netscape, Opera browsers. All websites visited or E-mails sent using these browsers will show you are connecting from one of our fake IP addresses.
With our High-Speed Premium Service add-on to Hide My IP, you can also hide your IP in many other applications such as Outlook Express, MSN Messenger, AIM, WinAmp, Putty, Trillian, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Mail, and much more. You can view a list of all programs supported by our Premium Service.
