How Does Hide My IP
Work?When your computer connects to the Internet normally,
it is assigned an IP address by your Internet Service Provider. This
IP address is used to keep track of your communications with all websites or any
program that connects to the Internet. This is known as a Direct Internet
Connection.
When you install and run Hide My IP on your computer, it will modify your
Internet Connection Settings, telling your computer to make connections through
a Fake IP Relay provided by Hide My IP.

Hide My IP is compatible with may web browsers such as Internet
Explorer, FireFox, Netscape, Opera browsers. All websites visited or E-mails sent
using these browsers will show you are connecting from one of our fake IP
addresses.
With our High-Speed Premium Service add-on to Hide
My IP, you can also hide your IP in many other applications such as Outlook Express,
MSN Messenger, AIM, WinAmp, Putty, Trillian, ICQ, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Mail,
and much more. You can view a list of all
programs supported by our Premium Service.
