Hiding Your Ip Address

By: IC Home | Computers-and-Technology | Software


Are you concerned about your privacy? Need internet security? Tired of unwanted e-mails and advertisements? The one and only solution for all the above questions is hiding your IP address. Are you aware of the fact that while you are online anyone can hack your computer and all your personal details by simply following your IP address? It is a mind boggling issue and unfortunately true. All your confidential data which till now you thought for being completely secure is not so.

IP address is simply a boon to the hackers on the internet. Many companies are using these techniques to get hold of the various accessible users and their personal details according to which they send unwanted mails and advertisements. If you are a business person and deal with confidential data then owning IP software is a must for you.

There are many reasons to why a person needs to hide his IP address. People want to surf anonymously due to many reasons like hide themselves from the government, employers or nagging neighbors. People of Iran generally hide their identities because of the fear of getting executed in the streets. Americans surf anonymously to hide their personal information from their employers. In fact everyone needs their privacy being maintained and hence avoiding irritating websites and noisy advertisements. People use a proxy server to hide their IP addresses.

The proxy server works in a very simple way. Whenever you connect to the internet, your IP address reaches the website. Here the proxy server acts as a mediator between you and your website. You communicate with the proxy server and in return the proxy server converses with the website.

The internet or the website concerned does not identify you but your IP address. The proxy server knows who you are. The difference lies in trust. You can trust the proxy server but not the website. You need to choose the best out of the available proxy servers. Some are offered for free and some charge you money. Many of the free proxy services come for a limited advantage and then after a few months start to charge you with monthly subscription.
