Pros and Cons of NotMyIP

By HideIP Admin | Published: April 29, 2009

Update 2/5/2011: NotMyIP is not available anymore. You should check InvisibleBrowsingVPN, HideIpVPN, HideMyAss or IAPS Security Services.

First of all, I have to say that I love free products. Privacy-Gateway.com has released last week a free hide IP solution, called NotMyIp. I have tested it since then and here is the list of pros and cons I have came up with:

notmyip_pros_cons

Pros:

It is FREE!
It hides your IP address
Very simple and easy UI. Suitable for beginners. No user guide needed.
It provides fast, premium proxies
It works with all browsers tested: Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome and Safari. No need for manual configuration.
It does not need any add-ons to run with Firefox.

Cons:

The proxies are from US only
There are only 3 proxies available. More in the commercial version, called Anonymity Gateway.
Only English user interface is available
Not suitable for p2p applications

To sum up: welcome NotMyIp! It’s great to have another great hide ip software on the market. Let’s hope more proxies will be available in the next versions and they will continue to be fast.

hey great product. The coolest feature is it is VERY EASY to use.
But the con as you said, it provides only 3 proxies. But if you want PANDORA outside US, it works.

@Rabbit – No Mac version for this tool. Try Freedur. Not free, but a good application.

I am from canada. My computer is behind a router. Zonalarm as firewall.

After I change my ip, cannot get any page to display.

Adding another trusted zone for the new IP still same.

Any comment please
