How Does Hide My IP Work?

When your computer connects to the Internet, it is assigned an IP address by your Internet Service Provider.  This IP address is used to keep track of your communications with all websites or any program that connects to the Internet.  This is known as a Direct Internet Connection.

When you install and run Hide My IP on your computer, it will modify your Internet Connection Settings, telling your computer to make connections through a Fake IP Relay provided by Hide My IP.

Hide My IP is compatible with the Internet Explorer, FireFox, Netscape, and Opera browsers.  All websites visited or E-mails sent using these browsers will show you are connecting from one of our fake IP addresses.

With our High-Speed Premium Service add-on to Hide My IP, you can also hide your IP in many other applications such as Outlook Express, MSN Messenger, AIM, WinAmp, Putty, Trillian, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Mail, and much more.  You can request more applications here.
