I have tried hide my IP and it is dangerous because it tells you a new ip is in use but when I visited what is my ip.My real ip was quickly sussed out by the website.
I don’t know if the fact that I am on braodband makes any difference
i bough the key long time ago and i never get response and money back, they are a scam company
Sorry to say, but this Hide My IP 2009 only works occasionally for videos on US sites; it’s very unstable (at least in trial version on my Intel Celeron (1.86 Ghz) notebook with mobile internet connection!)
Furthermore, when finally getting an ‘UK’ adress, it was lokated in Turkey, according to this website ‘how-to-hide-IP.info’-service!
When I hide my IP my browser’s loading is too slow. Is it normal?
@Anonymous – My web readers (i.e. IE…) opened Eureka video on Syfy AFTER I had closed Hide My IP 2009 generated US IP,while it didn’t work when hiding IP was ON !! (Sanctuary video works without hiding IP on Syfy and CBS videos only works sometimes)
@aimee – Yes, specially in trial mode; I won’t even get any streaming live programs to work in UK ITV Player.
Conserning UK proxy adresses, I got this one: 87.117.216.163 pointing to Turkey, according to this site and ForMyIP.com that follows with Hide My IP 2009, even though the program itself says UK!
@ano –
hmmm, so maybe I should try to get the premium one then..
