This series explains how to choose a hide IP tool that is suitable for you. You can choose from free tools or paid ones (How to choose a hide IP tool (I) – Free or paid?) but if you decide to purchase one you should always try before you buy (How to choose a hide IP tool (II) – Try before buy!). Also you should decide if you want to browse anonymously using Internet Explorer or Firefox (How to choose a hide IP tool (III) – IE or Firefox?).
Another advice for you: when you are evaluating hide IP tools take a look on what others recommend and what others say about different hide ip tools.
Do not consider testimonials
Testimonials from the site of producer are not to be trusted. 99% of them are fake, written by sales and marketing team. So, don’t bother!
Where to look?
Firstly you can take a look on shareware sites, like download.com or tucows.com. You can find there product reviews that are more accurate than testimonials. Don’t fully trust them. Some of the positive reviews are posted by the producer and some of the negative reviews are written by the competitors. What you can trust are the reviews written by the editors, expecially those from download.com.
Other good sources of informations are forums. There you can read, at first hand, what other users have experienced while using different hide ip tools. In order to easily find information on forums, I recommend using Omgili. It’s a search engine the returns results exclusively from forums.
The third place to look are blogs. The best hide ip tools on the market are usually reviewed on many tech blogs. Read 2-3 of such reviews and you will find enough info about any tool. Consider reading blogs like Raymond.cc and MyDigitalLife.info, or you can use Google to find others. And don’t forget about How-to-hid-ip.info; we are reviewing many of the hide IP tools available on the market :)
