Version: Hide My IP 1.9
"Faster than other IP hiders, great support. Overall: awesome!"
Pros: I have tried numberous IP hiding tools (anonymizer, ghostsurf, netconceal) and I base my review on comparing Hide My IP 1.9 against these products. One feature I really like about hide my ip is it lets the user choose to use either it's own private IPs (which are quite fast) or open network IPs (slower, since they come from all kinds of counteries). NONE of the other tools I tried had that feature. I can even set Hide My IP to change my IP every minute if I want!
I also like the high level of security that comes with this product and the ability to hide my "user agent" (info about your computer sent our via your web browser when you surf).
I called their support number once before I ordered and once after, both times I got a LIVE PERSON who promptly answered my questions.
Overall, this is an awesome tool for many uses. Well done!
Cons: I was having trouble getting this tool to run on startup, but I found out later my firewall was blocking it. It DOES NOT work with P2P programs, unless you do some manual configurations. This is the only part that is kind of disapointing for me.
