"I wished I had read reviews before downloading"
Version: IP Hider 4.9
Pros
no benefits what so ever.
Cons
a few see my summary below.
Summary
just a few addresses to hide your ip the first give away its a scam, hard to use, contains a trojan horse so dont restart your pc as they request when you want to remove program from your pc and messed up my connection settings. fortunately i was able to solve the problem after 30 mins thanks to my browser opera which is brilliant and far better than the useless google chrome. i gave ip hider 1 star as i cannot give it zero.

"works a charm"
Version: IP Hider 4.9
Pros
hides ip as described with a choice of various countries, even seems to work in chrome - though i think chrome is sleazy as it still knows your browser and can recognize you through your browsing history
Cons
small choice of ip's on the list - cannot get autochange or time set autochange - though it is great compared to others that i have tried
Summary
from my experience - a great program and useful for throwing of spying corporations and authoritarian governments who try to own, control and herd you around like sheep through having a personal profile on everyone, they chat rubbish about hiding their crimes through "official secrets acts" - while delving into the minds of their "subjects" - hey i thought they were public servants and we were meant to know what THEY get up to??? invite everyone to use it - simply in order to save their future generations from becoming slaves to crooked people with vested intrests,
peace,

"It can help, it can mess up your entire web connection."
Version: IP Hider 4.9
Pros
It can help you access blocked websites, and watch content visible only in certain countries. It guarantees to work not just in browsers, other internet apps and apps that rarely use the Internet, too! Good product!
Cons
Well, you can hide your real IP but you can also get rid of your internet while doing this. If you don't know what are you doing, you can mess up your entire Internet connection system. Be careful!
Summary
Well, first impressions, it is a useful product overall, it can help you access blocked website and view content viewable only in certain countries and regions. It guarantees to work not just in browsers, other internet apps and apps that rarely use the Internet, too! But you can also get rid of your internet while doing this. If you don't know what are you doing, you can mess up your entire Internet connection system, because by selecting a certain provider, you will lose connectivity, and after uninstalling this software the internet will not work, you will have to do a System Restore point! Well, be careful. It is simple to use, you just select an available country in the list and in some cases you will be ready to go, in others you will run into problems. My experience was option 2, or errors. When my Internet didn't work anymore, I rapidly restored to before my recent updates, and I was fine. You may be lucky, I hope the best for you!

"Extremely poor & unreliable"
Version: IP Hider 4.9
Pros
There is nothing good to be said
Cons
Very slow. US IPs down for long periods of time. Customer service does not understand English.
Summary
Extremely poor and unreliable. Their US IPs are always down for very long periods of time (days or up to a week). Customer service speaks limited English and are unable to explain problems. Lots of other better & more reliable proxies. Avoid this one.
