A website logging your IP address does not sound like a real security issue, but if any webmaster can log your IP, you can be sure that hackers can do the same. If you value your privacy, you should use a VPN client to mask your real IP address and make your traffic look like it is originating from other countries. HideIPVPN can reroute your traffic through VPN servers, from various countries. Besides protecting your identity, this is also a good way to bypass any region-related restrictions.

HideIPVPN is not free, but you can request a free trial. You can test the software for three hours, without encountering any restricted functions. The program can be used on various Windows and Mac OS X versions, as well as Android and iOS mobile platforms, game consoles, routers and smart TVs. Its hardware requirements are modest and it can be installed in a few moments.

Besides installing HideIPVPN, you must create an online account and use your credentials to log into the desktop application. Creating an online account does not involve anything more than typing your name and email address on the developer's website. You can also register for a smart DNS account, which provides an enhanced functionality.

The user interface consists of several sections, but the first one is the section where you will spend most of your time. You can choose between different VPN protocols and countries. Additionally, the software allows you to select different servers, for each country and protocol. If you are satisfied with your selections, you may click a Connect button, to redirect your traffic. When you connect to a website, it will look like you are from another country, due to your new IP. Besides protecting your privacy, this is also a good way to bypass region related restrictions on certain websites. The best part is that HideIPVPN does not have a significant impact on your Internet connection's speed.

HideIPVPN can shut down applications automatically, if your VPN connection drops. For example, if you set it to close your browser, you can make sure that your real IP won't be acquired if your VPN connection is interrupted. The software can also restart it when the connection is reestablished.

Pros

You can connect to various VPN servers, from different countries, to hide your real IP address. The application provides a good number of servers and it supports different VPN protocols. Additionally, it can automatically close your applications if the VPN connection is interrupted.

Cons

The trial version is available only for three hours. While using HideIPVPN, you will be able to visit any website on the Internet, without giving away your identity.
