GPass is a free software used mainly to circumvent censorship from several countries like China, Pakistan, etc. This great software can also be used as a free solution to hide your ip.

The main idea of GPass is to wrap the traffic of your Internet applications in various formats and tunnels and then sent packets through various dynamic channels to its servers. The GPass servers unwrap the packets and forward them to their destination on your behalf, yet they hide your identity (i.e., IP address). 

I have selected a list of pros and cons of GPass as hide ip solution. Here they are:

What is one massive website that you always want to get onto, but every place you try to access it, you find it is blocked by your office, school, or library’s filter? I know you are probably thinking of something that starts with a “P” but that’s not what I am here to talk about.

Myspace is unarguably one of the largest social media websites on the interweb. With an Alexa ranking of 6 and millions of users logging on every day, there is fun to be had meeting and greeting, blogging, looking at pictures and videos, and keeping track of your “bestest of buddies.”

There is a problem with this though. Because, for some reason, many companies believe the use of Myspace in the office lowers productivity, they will block anyone on the inside behind a web filter. Schools employ this to keep naughty kids doing homework, instead of interacting, networking and in general, having fun. The content on Myspace must be too inappropriate for most libraries, despite them taking very low cautions against the real threat to children: pornography. Doesn’t a public access point insist itself be open to the public and allowed to surf all public domains? I guess not.

There are some interesting and useful ways to safely and anonymously browse the web. One of this uses Google cached pages. The basic idea is that Google crawls all websites and makes caches of almost every webpage.

You can view cached pages simply by clicking on the “Cached” feature in the Google search. Then click on “cached text only” feature (see below). This will increase load times by a lot because it is only loading the text and not the images, etc. You have to make sure you are viewing the text only cache though and not retrieving the data from the websites own host. If it retrieves the data from the websites host then it will still load with all the images and be slower for load times. It will also give away your IP address since your accessing the website through the sites hosting. If you make sure to view only the text cache then you will guarantee your web anonymity.

Your IP address is a very powerful thing that can reveal a lot about you and your computer. It is used to track where traffic is coming from for sites, it can be used in intrusive ways which can harm your computer, and to block you from viewing certain sites. There are many other reasons why IP addresses are so important to people.

First of all, IP address reveals your exact location (country, city, street, house number/ appartment). To make things worse, your browser reveals other information regarding your online activity. Here is the complete lists of info someone can see about you:

1. Location of where the internet connection is coming from
2. Application Name
3. Application Version
4. User Agent
5. Browser Name
6. Operating System
7. Platform

On IPLocate.info you can see exactly what I mean: Read the rest of this entry »

Because IP Addresses are limited, there is simply not always enough to go around.  To make sure everyone is able to connect to the Internet, the system is separated into Static IP Addresses and Dynamic IP Addresses.

A Static IP Address is designed to provide the user with a more stable identification.  Think of this like a phone number.  You have a standard phone number in which people can locate your phone and contact you.  It remains the same unless you specifically decide to change it.  A static IP Address works in much the same way, in that it is used as a permanent ID.

A dynamic IP Address is for the opposite.  Think of it like a pay phone.  It is a temporary identification to allow you to connect to the Internet.  Just like a pay phone, though, you can only make “out going” connections.  This will mean that you cannot accept incoming calls, because the “number” changes when you disconnect.  Even if you were to reconnect immediately, the chances of you receiving the same IP address is very small.

So, if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) delivers dynamic IP addresses (most of them do), your IP address is different every time you connect to the internet. This does not mean that your IP is hidden or that you are untraceable. Every ISP has a predefined range of IPs; so your IP address can be identified as belonging to your ISP. Plus, all ISP do log their traffic; so they do know they have allocated you a certain IP at a certain moment in time.

Although proxy servers are perfectly legal, there are other dangers that you leave yourself vulnerable to when using a proxy.  If you don’t know what a proxy server is, it is a vast connection of servers that allow you to access any website without giving away your IP Address.  An IP Address is similar to your home address or your telephone number; it labels your computer as a specific identity.  IPs are used to track your every move on the Internet, so it’s best to use a proxy server if you don’t want your cyber whereabouts to be known.

Because proxy servers intercept data, there’s always the risk of the administrators of that proxy site to steal your information, such as account details to a website, personal identification like phone numbers, house address, or even your social security number (SSN) and credit card numbers.  This is why it is very important for you to safeguard your information when using a proxy site by taking every possible measure to keep your identity a secret.

An IP Address is a sequence of numbers used to identify your computer.  This works in much of the same way as your home address or phone number works.  You must provide the post office or phone network a specific place for it to forward the information.

Because there is a limit of possible IP Addresses, a private address is used to identify a network of computers.  For instance, if I were to buy 10 computers for my small business, I could use one “Private IP Address” to identify my network instead of using a separate address for each computer.
