I have finally downloaded Anonymizer Surfing to see how this well known software is able to change my IP address. The installation process went smoothly and Anonymizer home screen was shown. Positive first impression: nice, clean, friendly user interface.
The first step to start hiding your IP address is to request a trial. You have to choose a username, password, and fill in your email address. Not very happy about it …
Then, go to Anonymous Surfing tab and choose “On”. That’s it! Very simple.
Pros
- Very nice and friendly user interface
- Simple to use (even though there seem to be several bugs – see Cons)
- The proxy or proxies used are high anonymous proxies
- Fast proxies
- Powerful features: Anti-Phising, Anti-Pharming, Wi-Fi Security, Malicious Web Site Filtering and Surfing Security SSL Encription.
- The price is acceptable – $29.95 / year
Cons
- You have to activate the trial by filling a form (incuding your email address)
- In order to activate the trial I had to restart the software
- After activating the trial, I could not turn it on. After pressing the “On” button the first time, nothing happend. I had to restart Anonymizer again. Then it start working.
- You can not choose the proxy (IP address) or the country of the proxy
- It seems to use only one proxy (?)
- The help is … not very helpful
To sum up, Anonymizer Surfing is a good software for hiding your IP address. Even though it does not offer as many options of choosing the location of your fake IP (like IP Hider or Invisible Browsing), it’s a useful software that hides your IP.

Stay away from Anonymizer!!! Unless of course you do not ever want to upgrade your Internet Explorer or FireFox from what are already obsolete versions of both. I bought Anonymizer and within a matter of weeks it stopp0ed working on FireFox because it does not work with FireFox 3.x. The Anonymizer people have still not figured out how to get it to work. The same is now true with IE8. This is one of the true rip-offs of the software world.
Pros and Cons of Anonymizer Surfing… Stay away from Anonymizer!!! Unless of course you do not ever want to upgrade your Internet Explorer or FireFox from what are already obsolete versions of both.
