Funny thing about Hide IP Platinum (which would be funny about using an anonymous proxy in any other way) is that the big boy sites (like Google) will attempt to present their content locally to the ip address.

I was thrown off by this because HideIP randomly was running again once (I may have restarted, i dunno - ha), which I didn't know, but my Internet Connection is wireless and far away - when I went to google (my home page cuz it loads mad quickly) - it was all boxes as if strange, unrecognisable (or unsupported) characters were being displayed. The little I know about networking (which is nothing) led me to guess I was getting corrupted packets ? (not my thing, i'm serious) and I was viewing garbage.

I noticed the HideIP icon spinning in my system tray, and went to My Ip... I noticed I was registering as Shanghai, China - so naturally I guessed I wouldn't have had this problem had I downloaded or installed the particular character set necessary.

Either way, this probably doesn't help in any way, but I thought it was an interesting note (and an example of my own stupidity .

(P.S. - I recommended this prog to a friend who was banned from a local bulletin board site, although I don't really need to hide my ip o:)

I had come across some type of IP hiding software like IP hider etc. Did some research on net but what I understood is that these programs spoof your IP address and give you some other address.

This address is of some other range and that too of some other country. It's more like a directing you to a false proxy.

But with these software most of the things like ads etc don't display. Moreover you get a different address every time you get in. Infact you have an option to select the address and range.


They are good if you want to protect your privacy by not disclosing your address but nothing much. Well you can find out many practical reasons to do that.

I personally feel it's not technically viable to get any address that you want. The basic concept of IP addresss scheme bares that locgic...

Mate - You'd be best trying to contact the support system of whatever you need to register another account with, because the chances are you will be breaching their Terms of Service and as soon as they find out they won't be too happy with you.

Did you ever try TOR (http://tor.eff.org)? Tor is a tool supported by Electronic Frontier Foundation (then i think this is further more than legal) that let anybody access internet through many internet nodes. It's a project similar to "Freenet" but it has become very popular, used by thousands.

Also there is an openBSD bootable LiveCD distro with all the tools needed to access internet anonymously, by changin IPs, MAC, HTTP headers, ... this is http://sourceforge.net/projects/anonym-os

How To Hide IP Address

I use my pc with a friend who has been blocked on a blog that I regularly use. And now I can't access it to leave messages. Does anyone have an idea about how I can get around that obstacle?

You CAN hide your IP address,from wwww.myip.com
How To Hide IP Address

Replying to ganeshn11I found that you can hide your IP address using Tor,Vidalia,and Privoxy.I did it successfully yesterday.But,something happened to my P,I installed the wrong item,and I lost it.So I had to reformat/clean install my PC.Now I can't get it to work.Foxtor a free add on from firefox,keeps telling me I'm 'unmasked' and asks if 'Tor is working?'so, I try to get Tor to run and it states 'had info but not enough to...'You have to have the right settings I guess,or it's just a hassle.HideIP,EasyIP,etc don't work for me.And are possible trojan attractors.If you can hide your IP successfully from myip.Com,then the hider really works.If not it's just junk.

How To Hide IP Address
How To Hide IP Address

There are a lot of methods of hiding your ip address: choose a proxy from a proxy list site (e.G. Samair.Ru) and then set up your browser connection settings to use that proxy, use web proxies (e.G. Hidemyass.Com, proxify.Eu, etc), setup TOR (for advanced users) or use hide ip software.

I use all these on a daily basis. What I recommend these days is a small product called IP Hider from www.Allanonymity.Com. The product is easy to use and proxies are quite good.

I hope it helps!
