  Pros

  ? Easy to use ? It does change your IP ? Real IP is not revealed on an accidental loss of connection

  Cons

  ? Possibly a criminal enterprise and put the user in serious liability with the blacklisted IPs and probably hijacked servers ? Unclear business ethics ? Substantial speed loss etc etc etc

  Summary

  I publish a VPN review ? BestVPNReviews.com - and I ran and tested the 3-day trial of HideYourIPAddress software and checked the servers provided. In fact, this service could be a criminal enterprise and put the user in some liability with blacklisted IPs and probably unauthorized/hijacked server usage. In our test, we determined that they are likely using hijacked servers without the permission of the server owners (University of Tokyo, Rackspace, University of Taiwan, Anchor Free VPN, etc. ? Universities are the usual targets for proxy hijacking). Should the unaware user be caught on a network illegally using University servers or major hosting companies like Rackspace (who have clear TOS restrictions against the use of their servers for any proxy use), the user should be aware that he could be sued for criminal activity.
