How does one achieve this? Nust the settings be configured in a certain way?

In the 2009 version:
Under Advanced Settings >>> IP Address >>> check Encrypt My Connection
Click Apply, then click OK

Question about encryption.
I noticed that most of the web sites do not work when encryption is on, and work fine with encryption off. How can a site know if my data are encrypted since my web traffic gets decrypted when leaves the HideMyIP server?

Yahoo and other International sites don't like an encrypted signal.
If the site does not work when you have encryption on, that means your signal from the server is encrypted.

Yes, but as I understand the encryption is used to hide the traffic from the ISP only. Is this correct?
If yes, then shouldn't the server decrypt the traffic and sent it to the last node (where the web browser is looking) as if nothing weird (like a proxy) has interfered with the traffic data?
And what is the value of any proxy if the final receiver of the data can say that it passed through a proxy?
As a final thought, where have the privacy and the freedom of speech gone in our days and what is more to come?

A website, if programmed for it, can detect when a signal comes from a proxy server.
And a proxy server can do different things, not just deliver faux IP addresses.
Not "only", no. The signal is totally encrypted.
Real "privacy" on the Internet is non-existent. And as for "freedom of speech", well, let's hope America doesn't take the socialist path many think it is now on.
