One of the most frequently asked questions by the internet users is How To Hide
IP Address ?. Many times it becomes necessary to hide the real IP address for th
e sake of privacy.For this, I have tried many softwares, proxy servers and many
such tools that guaranteed to hide my IP address.But still none of them worked f
or me. I think most of you have the same experience.Are you fed up with these du
mmy softwares that fails to hide the real IP address? Then is there any working

YES, you can definitely hide your IP .
Now I ll come to the heart of the post, which contains the answer to your curious
question How to Hide the IP address ? The only solution to hide your IP address
is by using a Proxy Server.But Wait! The story doesn t end here.Even though proxy
servers are the only way to hide your IP address, there are several ways of conn
ecting your PC to the proxy server.Before setting up the connection with the pro
xy servers you must know some information about different types of proxy servers
and their uses.
1. Transparent Proxy Server
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server and also makes the
original IP address available through the http headers. These are generally use
d to speedup the web browsing since thay have a very good ability to cache websi
tes.But they do not conceal the IP of it s users. It is widely known as transparen
t proxy because it will expose your real IP address to the web.This type of prox
y server does not hide your IP address.
2. Anonymous Proxy Server
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but does not make
the original IP address available. This type of proxy server is detectable, but
provides reasonable anonymity for most users. This type of proxy server will hi
de your IP address.
3. Distorting Proxy Server
This type of proxy server identifies itself as a proxy server, but make an incor
rect original IP address available through the http headers. This type of proxy
server will hide your IP address.
4. High Anonymity Proxy Server ( Elite Proxy)
This type of proxy server does not identify itself as a proxy server and does no
t make available the original IP address. This type of proxy server will hide yo
ur IP address.So this is the best way to mask your IP.
Which Proxy Server is the best to Hide My IP ?
I know, you can answer this question better than me.Obviously High Anonymity Pro
xy or Elite Proxy is the best to hide your IP.But it s not easy to get a list of w
orking elite proxies.If you search the Google, you will definitely get tons of p
roxy list.You ll get a list of proxies in the following format
IP:Port Number
Eg: 221.90.45.67:8080 (221.90.45.67 is the IP of the proxy server and 8080 is th
e port number)
But most of them don t work.Here are some of the problems/risks associated with us
ing free proxies that are available on the internet.
Most of them do not work since the proxy servers frequently changes it s IP/Port n
umber.
Even if you find a working proxy server it may be too slow.
Your privacy is not guaranteed since all your traffic is routed through the prox
y server.
The administrators of the proxy servers may steal your valuable information such
as passwords,SSN (Social security number),Credit Card details etc.
So with all these being the risks then how to find a Working,fast,Highly Anonymo
us and secured Proxy servers?
Now I will give a list of softwares that will really hide your IP address.I have
tried many such softwares and have found only few of them working perfectly.Her
e is a list of working IP Hiding softwares that you can try.I have listed them i
n the order of their popularity

How to ensure that the IP is hidden ?
Before you hide your IP you can check your real IP by visiting the following sit
e.
WhatIsMyIPAddress.Com
Once you get your real IP, switch on your IP hiding software.Now once again visi
t the above site and check your IP address.If you see a new IP then this means t
hat your software is doing the right job.Also the above site(Whatismyipaddress.c
om) is capable of detecting many proxies.If you see the words such as Suspected p
roxy server or network sharing device or similar words then it means that the pro
xy you are using is not an Elite Proxy.
One Final Word before you leave! Even though Elite proxies are almost undetectab
le this doesn t mean that you can escape from online crimes by hiding your IP.Ther
e are many proxy detecting services available which detect almost any proxy.So i
f you involve in any cyber crimes then you will definitely be behind the bars.Us
ing proxy will not help you in this case.
One More thing, It is unsafe to use proxy during e-commerce transactions such as
Online banking,Online Credit Card payment etc.So please avoid proxies during th
ese circumstances.
