Anonymity on the Internet - what is it and why is it needed?
When surfing the Internet, a person leaves a huge amount of various information about himself. At first glance, an ordinary user who does not have a program for hiding the IP address on the computer may think that there is nothing wrong with this, but no one can know with certainty who is in the hands of this information and how it can be used.:

There are a huge number of software solutions that allow you to travel anonymously on the Internet, without leaving unnecessary traces, both paid and free. Many users believe that the inclusion of the incognito mode in the browser is a panacea in this matter, but this statement is erroneous. If you do not use a specialized program to hide the IP address, it is impossible to reliably state that your data did not fall into the wrong hands. In order to protect yourself and be calm for anonymity and security on the network, the following programs are usually used: Free Hide IP – , IP . ( ), . , -, .

Free Hide IP
Installing a program is no different from installing other programs. Download, run the installation file, follow the instructions on the screen and wait for the completion. It should be noted that during installation the program also offers sponsor toolbars, so we uncheck the box to prevent cluttering the computer with unnecessary applications. After starting the program, we will see a miniature window that displays our real IP address and a new one, supposedly located in the United States. The “Launch on Startup” parameter adds the program to startup, therefore, every time you turn on the computer, Free Hide IP will automatically start, replacing your IP address with another one. It is also possible to automatically change your address every few minutes by setting the value of the “Change IP every X minutes” parameter. After the settings are made,all sites on the Internet will be sure that you are in the USA, none of the attackers will be able to determine your real location, and many web services that are not available in other countries will be opened.Safeip
SafeIP is the only program to hide your real IP, translated by the developers into Russian, which means it is the easiest to learn for an ordinary Russian-speaking user. The program copes with its main task with a bang - it hides your IP address from sites, games, email and other applications. Compatible with all modern browsers and operating systems. The main program window contains only a few buttons: “Connect”, after which you connect to the anonymous proxy server, and the “Change IP” button, which gives you a new fake address. The program has a lot of useful settings, such as ad blocking, protection from tracking temporary cookies, autorun at system startup, and automatic IP change after a specified time interval.Hotspot shield

There are many other ways to hide your IP address without using specialized programs. These methods require additional knowledge and time for the user to manually configure the IP address. If we describe the process briefly, we need to find a list of free proxy servers, copy the IP and port number from there, and then enter these parameters in the settings of your browser or other application that uses an Internet connection. The disadvantage of the manual method is that most of the proxies that can be found in the public domain have a low connection speed and also do not guarantee you complete security and anonymity. Therefore, I recommend that you use specialized software to hide the real IP address and not worry about your own security!
