Problem: If you are not from US and you try watching full episodes of  NBC shows you get the following message: “We’re sorry, but the clip you selected isn’t available from your location. Please select another clip.“ What can you do about it?

Solution: Simple! Change your IP address to an US one. Next, I’ll show how you can do this using Hotspot Shield.

In order to  get NBC’s streaming video player running on your computer, you have to:

1. Sign up for a NBC video account. Just go to http://my.nbc.com/accounts/registeremail and fill in your email address and then set up a password
2. Temporarily, change your system time to Arizona or Mountain time. The location is important because Hotspot Shield servers are located there. This has to be done in order to trick NBC servers that you’re using a computer in the continental United States. Read the rest of this entry »

Hotspot Shield in a few words: “100% Security Through a VPN“. More: “It’s FREE!”

This small software creates a VPN - virtual private network between your computer and an Internet gateway. The tunnel prevents snoopers and hackers from viewing your email, instant messages, credit card information or anything else you send over the network.

So, you can use Hotspot Sheild not only to hide your IP address but for complete anonymity! It is ideal if you need to change your IP to an US one. There several reasons you might need an US IP address, such as watching videos from Pandora or Veoh, playing an online game Mabinogi, etc.

Hotspot Shield security application is free to download and is easy to install and use.

After you download the product, you have to unzip the file and launch the setup. Hotspot Shield will be installed in matter of seconds. When the product starts, the VPN connection is initialized as you will see in the configuration page (to see all values click Show Config):

As you probably heard already, Google has launched his own browser called Chrome. This is rather a surprise taking into account that for years Google has supported Firefox. This is a proof that, after all, everyone has his own agenda. Anyway, if you are interested in finding more info about Google Chrome I recommend you read Google Chrome, Google’s Browser Project.

Let’s see now how we can manually configure this new browser to hide your IP address.

First go to WhatIsMyIPAddress.com and check your real IP address.

Then you have to find a proxy to be used as an intermediate between you and the sites you visit. For example take one from here or search Google for “fresh proxies”.

After you have chosen the proxy you can start configuring Chrome browser. Read the rest of this entry »

Almost every day we are using our personal info to make online payments for services or goods. It became such a common act to fill in our name, the credit card info, the address, etc that we sometimes forget to take the most basic precautions against hackers.  Here are some piece of advice on what you should never forget.

Never submit a credit card number or other highly sensitive personal information without first making sure your connection is secure (encrypted). Basically, take a look at the URL and make sure it starts with “https://” instead of “http://“.

If you are at page that asks for such information but shows “http://” you can try adding the “s” yourself and hitting enter to reload the page. If you get an error message that the page or site does not exist, this probably means that the company is so clueless - and careless with your information and your money - that they don’t even have Web security. Then, my advice is to forget about entering you info there.  

Also be on the lookout for “spyware” - software that may be included with applications you install (games, utilities, whatever), the purpose of which is to silently spy on your online habits and other details and report it back to the company whose product you are using.

To sum up, always, but always, take a good look to the site that is asking for your personal information. If you are giving away your card info to a hacker site, the fact that you are using any hide ip tool won’t save you from sever financial loses.

Q: I’m hosting a public domain on an apache web server behind my DSL dyn IP. I’m using DynDns’ name servers while running their update client on the web server. My question: are there services in the Netherlands or other protected Countries that will provide Dyn IP update and also hide my IP by relaying or bouncing my website out of a proxy server?

A:  We are unaware of such a service. The fact that you are using a server that has a dynamically allocated IP address “is forcing” you to use a tool – like DynDNS that reroutes the traffic to your real IP address. Hiding the IP address in this situation and running the web site in the same time is actually not possible (as far as we know).
