I have evaluated the new version of IP Privacy from Privacy-Pro.com and here are my conclusions.
Privacy-Pro has recently launched IP Privacy version 3.7. As mentioned in the press release, “the new version gives users the possibility to run without any problems the application and hide their IP address even they are using Windows Vista. More than that, if until now IP Privacy had to be manually configured to work with Firefox, starting with this version the application will automatically configure ALL browsers. In this way our users only have to select a proxy and enable the online anonymity.”
I have installed the new version of IP Privacy and the important changes are not related to the user interface but to the product performance. I’ll point out only the features that are different from previous version that I have already evaluated here: Browse With US IP Address Using IP Privacy.
Auto browser configuration
The most important change/feature is that with the new version you don’t have any problems with browser configuration. All browsers are automatically configured to use the selected premium proxy. I have tested it using Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera and Safari. This is quite impressive as most hide ip tools (including Ultrasurf or Gpass) do know how to configure Internet Explorer but fail to automatically configure Firefox or Opera.
Anonymizes instant messengers
Also it seems that all applications that use port 80 are using the IP Privacy proxies once the product is started. This means that IP Privacy also anonymizes most of instant messengers (Yahoo Messengers, MSN, etc.)
More and faster premium proxies
Another plus is that the new IP Privacy has added to the list several fast proxies from US and Netherlands. I have tried to watch some Hulu videos and it worked quite decently.
To sum up, the new IP Privacy is, for sure, an evolution of the previous version as it automatically configures ALL browsers and lists several fast and reliable proxies. You should give it a try.
