Well I was searching for someways to mask my IP and get a US based IP. Not for any illegal reasons but as webmasters you might know that getting US based IP is beneficial in many ways. You can see how your site looks and what kind of ads are served on your pages and you can also get a lot more information from it. If your target audience is in US and you are not able to see what they actually see then you are just shooting in dark.
I was also getting lots of issues with some forums and some websites that were not allowing me the access if my IP was not US based. I would then go to my chat buddies and ask for help from them. I was also trying to use Online Proxy surfing sites and stuff like that in order to see what it is there on the other side.
In end the solution came from a very unexpected source as the guy whom I was teaching programming like 7 years ago was talking to me about all the stuff that he made and I was showcasing mine. When this IP topic was discussed he told me that you should checkout HideIPVPN services. I thought he might be just joking around as he gives me many leads but most of them are somewhat outdated. Nextday I tried HideIPVPN.com and I read what they had to offer. It was really nice to read all the stuff that they wrote there and I thought well maybe I will buy it. Then I thought maybe it won't be that useful. After somedays I again got stuck with most of my things targetted towards the US based audience and me not able to see what they see and what they are complaining all about.
Again I went onto http://www.hideipvpn.com and tested their services as they were giving a 3 hour trial for free and that also without asking for creditcard details and paypal details as all other sites do before giving you any kind of free trial. That was the first impressive point about them and the software that they told me to download was also small in size like 2 MB or so. Now I thought I will have to setup my IPs and DNS and Gateways and all stuff in my network in order to set up my IP as US based one, but no that was also not the case. I logged into the software, selected US based server and clicked connect. Within 2 to 5 seconds I was connected.
To just be sure I even visited whatismyip.com and well it was now showing another IP and not the original IP I had. I copied that IP and did a whois search on that IP and it was infact showing a US based IP.
Now I went further and checked out some of my own sites and some other sites that were blocking me due to my Non US IP. Well it was all working smooth and fast.
Yes speed was also great. No issues at all which I expected might be the case but it was speedy. God I even went further and did a speedtest on speedtest.net and over there also the results were fantastic as it was not at all hurting my original speed.
So signing up for them now. If you are looking for a way to get a US based or Any other country as they have lots of choices like UK, Germany, Canada etc. Then you should not hesitate to spend some dollars on this one. I would say that it is worth it. Their plans are also not expensive If you choose something like only US IP then it is just 5.99 USD.
Well we spend that much usually on a domain registration so that is a good investment to make if you are looking to have a good US based IP that works. If you want to signup or test it then you should head to http://www.hideipvpn.com
