Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Changing your computer's IP address not only hides your location from marketers but also worse threats. Fast Hide IP makes it easy to mask your IP by routing your traffic through a network of secure servers that are impossible to trace. Fast Hide IP is not only easy to use but also lets you choose which country's address to use. To Internet snoops, it'll look like you're in that country instead of your own. You can also access Web content limited by geographical location, such as TV networks. The trial version is fully functional, but it's limited to 3 days and 5 IPs. That's plenty of time (and IPs) to tell if Fast Hide IP works for you. The full version accesses 100 IPs, with more added each day.
When you install Fast Hide IP, you can choose the trial or buy and register the product. We continued with the trial. Fast Hide IP keeps things simple: A dialog-sized interface listed five IPs, each with a free Signal Strength bar and a Connect button. A drop-down menu accesses many more IPs in the full version, letting users keep the main list uncluttered. We could set Fast Hide IP to open with Windows, an option to consider if you have a static IP and always-on connection. Under Settings, we could configure Fast Hide IP for all the popular Web browsers and a few extras such as Picasa and bbc iplayer desktop.exe. BBC's popular iPlayer requires a UK IP address; unfortunately, the free trial doesn't offer one. You can add any browser or program that you need to, though. Redirect Options included encryption and the option to redirect TCP, DNS, and UDP. The online Help feature is mostly FAQs, but the developer provides free technical support, so if you have any questions, you can email them.
Each IP showed a Signal Strength well above 90 percent. We chose one and pressed Connect, and then opened our browser. IP routing inevitably slows down your connection speed, though Fast Hide IP didn't slow us down enough to give up its advantages. Clicking Disconnect immediately ended our session.
Editors' note: This is a review of the full version of Fast Hide IP 2.2. The trial version is limited to 3 days.
Publisher's Description
From Fast Hide Ip:
Fast Hide IP not only hides the real personal information, but also protects user's basic Internet using rights. User's real IP address is changed to an anonymous IP address through the encrypted network of dedicated Internet servers. User's original IP address is covered by the server. Fast-Hide-IP, a global advanced IP changer, offers high anonymous and secure service to the public users. Fast Hide IP also provides various countries and regions' IP addresses for users, such as USA, UK, France, Canada, and HK. The user can make the choice of the hidden IP by him or herself. When the user browses the American website in American IP address, the local address accelerates the surfing speed.
What's new in this version: Version 2.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

"Beware Virus,Trojan,Worm,Herpes or AIDS"
Version: Fast Hide IP 2.2
Pros
None at all except maybe god telling me i am a ******* complete fool.
Cons
this piece of crap renamed a file i had saved "Chase one off payment" thus it said it couldn't save it because the file i was downloading (fast hide ip) was already in target folder but it wasn't and renamed a file i had elsewhere.
So it is obviously some sort of sniffer program trying to hunt my last payment, good luck to them stealing my last 20 pennies.
Avoid like a aids ridden she male that has dodo smeared on her/his face and teeth.Summary
I am a total retard downloading silly things like that just because i assume its safe as 5,000 plus have done so...

"Nothing but problems"
Version: Fast Hide IP 2.2
Pros
None that I can think of.
Cons
Slows internet connection down. Caused problems after uninstall.(At least for me)
Summary
I tried this for 3 days and it slowed my internet way down. I uninstalled and I have had problems ever since. I can't open Internet Explorer or Firefox without my internet crashing. EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!! I have tried updates and reinstalls of both IE and Firefox and nothing helps. It started the minute I uninstalled Fast Hide. Think twice before you download.
