About Hide My IP
Hide My IP is a VPN (Virtual Private Network) tool that enables you to encrypt the internet traffic, surf the internet anonymously, prevent hackers from acquiring your IP address, access blocked websites, and stay safe online by changing your IP.
Reasons For Using Hide My IP
- Tremendous encryption: Hide My IP uses OpenVPN with 256-bit encryption—the safest VPN protocol. This signifies that your Internet traffic as well as activities are encrypted completely. And not even your internet service provider or the government can determine the websites you visit or surf, while Hide My IP is running.
- Access to blocked websites: Hide My IP allows you to access all blocked websites whenever needed. This especially comes in handy for people who travel quite often to other countries and require using the internet periodically. Since internet availability differs from a country to another country, websites, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are often blocked. Moreover, sites including Pandora, BBC iPlayer, and Netflix are not accessible in many countries. With Hide My IP, you get to change your IP address for over 75 locations all across the world, thereby having full access to all blocked websites.
- Boost in internet connection: Often, using a proxy VPN—Hide My IP helps in boosting the stability and speed of your internet connection by a great deal. There are issues of slow network or unstable internet connection encountered when your internet service provider is dealing with routing issues on a network; the issue is generally prevalent in developing countries. Hide My IP fixes this issue by augmenting your internet traffic routing, providing an alternate path to access a website, and causing the website to load quickly and reliably.
- Great compatibility: Hide My IP is available for free on Windows, Android devices, and Mac. Although the version for Android is fully free, yet it restricts the IP locations to be selected by you unless you purchase a full license. You can manually configure Hide My IP accounts on devices including iPad, iPhone, and routers supporting OpenVPN configuration.
- Easy-to-use user interface: Hide My IP provides a list of several locations; out of those, you need to select your desired location to connect automatically. This will change your IP address for all Web browsers and all apps (in case of Android version) on your internet connection.
