Manage updates with the Download AppCNET Editors' review
Your IP address gives advertisers, your ISP and even the police tons of information about you. If you want to hide your surfing behavior, Easy-Hide-IP can issue you a new IP address whenever you want a change. It helps you stay anonymous on the Web, but isn't a totally comprehensive solution like a VPN or more powerful proxy.
Despite touting easy setup, the download takes longer than most because of registration. You have to give up your email address and then wait for a product key before you can start using the program. Then, if you want more than a three-day trial, it costs $29.95. Thankfully, once you make it through the time taking setup process, Easy-Hide-IP delivers dozens of different IP addresses to choose from. There are several different countries to choose, too. This makes it easy to circumvent region-locking on Web content. However, no matter what region you choose, your surfing will slow down to a crawl. The download doesn't stop all instances of third-party tracking either.
Though this program does exactly what it says, you could be disappointed. It hides your IP well enough, but a dedicated tracker could still hunt down your origin. For now, it's no better than Tor or websites that will give you a free proxy on demand to surf privately.

"Great product! Great tech support!"
Version: Easy-Hide-IP 5.0.0.3
Pros
This software works flawlessly. Nice additional features, and great tech support.
Cons
Absolutely none.
Summary
I develop software as a fun hobby. One of my recent applications require scraping local and international weather statistics from various websites. I assumed of course, that Easy-Hide would work as expected when using a stand-alone web browser, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that by simply listing my application in the Easy-Hide's setup page, that any program can be wrapped into Easy-Hide's cloaking features.

Version: Easy-Hide-IP 5.0.0.3
Pros
It is quick and easy to use. I do like it that nothing is trying to be sold to you. No adverts.

Sometimes takes a while to connect.Sometimes very quick. Sometimes I have to uninstall Easy-hide-ip because I can not enter pages even though I am connected to the internet. Maybe happens once every 2 days.
Summary
Overall I am quite happy with it. As I am a casual,at home,no work involved, this little problem is not a worry.Of course it could be my computer is the problem but I do not think so. Will certainly buy Easy-Hide-IP next year.

I have had some connection problems when I select the overseas address but it was fixed by switching my internet off and on
