Publisher's description of Hide The IP

From AVSoftware:

This is a Hide IP software which is used to change your real Internet address while browsing the World Wide Web. The software will deliver you fresh anonymous proxy server every time you activate the program. The main benefit of this software is that you can't be traced when browsing Websites. Also if a Website is restricted for users from specified country the program can bypass that protection. By hiding your IP you will prevent receiving Spam from marketers, which know your interests by tracking your IP when browsing Websites. You can use Web-based e-mail to send anonymous e-mail. Post on bulletin boards without displaying your real IP address.

Version 2.1.1 adds Firefox support and can change IP in Firefox dynamically. It is Windows Vista compatible.

Editor's review of Hide The IP

4 star editors rating This IP masker is one of the easiest to use of its kind, even though one selection feature comes up empty in the trial. Hide The IP's compactly designed interface has artsy toolbar buttons to search for and switch among available proxies. In no time, the program finds a useable proxy and delivers a little popup identifying the new fake IP from the system tray.

We like that you can add your own proxy list for the program to check and use. Its feature to select the originating country for your fake IP didn't list any locations in the trial version, so we had to settle for what ever it threw out. The interface shows your real IP and the new one you'll be surfing with. One click can jump you to another anonymous proxy.

As a bonus, Hide The IP has its own basic browser with minimal navigation buttons, though it is a tad slower than usual and the Stop Hiding button on the browser's toolbar doesn't work. The trial gives a tight three days, but with all of the slow, unreliable IP maskers out there, any level user will welcome this program's effectiveness.
