Quick Hide IP Editor's Review

Internet users sometimes need to change their IP address for many reasons including security, tech support, remote desktop connection, proxy detection, anonymity, gaming or other browsing purposes. This can be easily done using this tiny app: Quick Hide IP.

When started, Quick Hide IP will allow you to search for proxy servers around the world and change your IP with the IP of one of the servers from the list. Actually, your IP will appear as changed only when using Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari or Firefox.

The good news is that Quick Hide IP can be used regardless of the fact that you may have a static or dynamic IP. This means that you can even be behind a router and the application will successfully change your IP.

Notice to all Windows Vista or Windows 7 users: in case you wish the program to run correctly, you need to set it to run in compatibility mode with Windows XP or 2003.

Pluses: IPs can be set to change automatically at a selected time interval. The list of proxy servers can be exported or imported into the program.

Drawbacks / flaws: Not supported in Opera web browser.

In conclusion: Quick Hide IP is a useful IP changing tool for basic anonymous Internet activity. It does the job, and it does it pretty well.
