I am not sure if you have used a VPN service before, but I am sure that most of you who have used a VPN service use it just to mask your IP address in order to access websites. blocked web on the internet. Well, that’s definitely one of the uses you can use a VPN service, but that’s not all. A VPN or Virtual Private Network is basically a technology that keeps your identity anonymous, your connection and data secure (encrypted to be more precise) while you’re connected to the internet (and trusting it). I go, it’s not as easy as it looks)).
While there are many free VPN services you can choose from, chances are your pages will be flooded with ads (Hotspot is one of the free VPNs I know of) and you may have to compromise on speed. level or limit data limit. If you are looking for a secure, risk-free, and seamless VPN service, I recommend a paid service. HideIPVPN is one of those dedicated services that we are going to talk about today. We also have a premium license giveaway (gift ended) at the bottom of the review, so read on.
Install and Configure HideIPVPN
Installing HideIPVPN is easy, just download the file, run the setup, and follow the onscreen steps to install. Once you have the app installed, launch it.
The program interface is slick and navigation is simple. You will have to provide your login username and password and click the login button to continue things. For now, just to test the product, you can create a free three-hour trial account and stay with me while we test it.
After installing and opening it, select the package, protocol and server you want to connect to and press the button Connect button. The program will then connect you to the server, authenticate and initiate a new network connection (virtual network) on your system.
Before we continue, I think we should take a detailed look at what kind of packages they offer and what are the distinct servers and protocols they use. HideIPVPN offers different premium plans depending on the type of proxy and connection protocol you want. The most premium plan allows you to mask your IP to UK, US, Netherlands and Germany IPs, and gives you PPTP, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec and Proxy options.
If you go down, you can see a combination of these servers and protocols that you can choose for a particular job. For example, if all you want to do is download torrent files alone, you can choose a package dedicated to the same purpose.
So back to the tool, once you’ve connected to the server, just check your IP. It will show US, UK, Netherlands or Germany depending on your preference in connection. On the settings page, you can configure the program’s behavior and actions.
It’s about how to use HideIPVPN, but that’s not all we’re going to talk about today. I have freely tested the service and here are the results.
Access blocked website
I can access all the country-specific sites like Hulu, Google Music, etc using HideIPVPN and everything goes smoothly. At no point do I feel that I am browsing a blocked site so that gives the tool a +1
Ping and speed
I did speed and ping tests for all the VPN servers this tool could connect to, and here are the 10 best of them all. The first one on the list is not connecting to the VPN, followed by the results of different VPN servers.
As you can see, the download speed ranges from best to worst along with ping speed. So if you’re not getting the results you want on one of the servers, try switching to another. It’s all about luck. In terms of ping speed, it shouldn’t get in your way much, as long as you’re not planning on playing online games on it. Collaborating all the results, I give +1.
packet sniffing
When I use a visual routing tool to track my packets, I’m happy to see the results. All my data plans originate from US servers (proxy, I chose) and my original source is completely hidden. So that’s +1.
My judgment
Overall, HideIPVPN is a suitable tool and meets all the needs that a VPN service should have. They also have different pricing plans that cater to different users’ VPN needs so you can choose the one that’s right for you. Oh, before that, why not participate in our giveaway first and see if you win a giveaway. Here we go!
