It’s a sad fact that even in these in times of advanced technology, where we can transport anything and everything with just a click of a button, we still have to constantly deal with the personal information that major goods and services provide. Whenever you perform a search, it transmits personal information from your computer to the search engines. While this information which can be used to solicit information from strangers, is generally harmless, it can also be used by people who want to abuse the information. About a week ago, a shocking story about a couple having their home invaded by strangers who had broken into their home while they were away on a trip. The disturbing part of it all was that the couple had NONE of their electronic equipment, which included their internet protocol unsoiled and thus their internet protocol was showing up in the exchange rate tables with the use of private information.
Since this is one of the major information-generating elements of your unbroken internet existence, you cannot afford to loose your unsoiled IP address in exchange for a free or $17.00 trip to somewhere. You cannot afford to give away your personal information in exchange for something that you would want, want, want. You cannot use something as important as your IP address. What exchange rate table are you in if you have been using and enjoying the power of Google since 1996 and have never once thought to look for an exchange rate table that either shows your IP address or tells your IP address where you are located?
What I am trying to get at here is how important is it to know how to hide IP address in order to avoid identity theft and have your privacy protected? The problem with the internet nowadays is that with every click of a button, your information is stolen. You might as well tie that knot properly because as soon as you release that horse, it will be strangled. As every digital exchange involves your IP address, you cannot escape the issue of your location being acknowledged by digital paths.
For you not to have your IP address, you cannot duck under the net in order to avoid this exchange. You have to take positive steps in order to keep your privacy. The problem is that the government is Behind the Threat. Big time private investigators will not be able to track you using your IP address. So, you can have the most powerful anti-virus, anti-spyware and anti-malware application, but if you do not hide your IP address, they will be unable to destroy you.
Now, let’s go through what you can do to hide your IP address. The first way is called the use of proxy server. You can use this server to route your connection through. The proxy serves as a shield so the computers cannot read your IP address. If you are trying to unblock a site, you have to use this proxy.
The use of software is another option. This software is not very effective because once you have installed it, you are dependent on the application to work. Some of the software is good and can unblock the sites you want to unblock. But, if you want a 100% working solution that will work all the time, you pay about $60.00 per year for a top class solution.
Of course, this is just a fraction of the costs that you will incur if you steal someone’s identity. Identity theft is a serious crime and it is the biggest threat to your safety on the Internet.
