Although services like Easy-Hide-IP are primarily used to protect users internet activity by obscuring the users real IP address and blocking all traces of access to websites both from the ISP and form the websites in question there are more and more users wanting to change their IP to access content that's only available in certain countries.
The undisputed king of these services has to be the BBC iPlayer which allows internet users in the UK on-demand access to the last 7 days of programmes across the BBC network of channels, without doubt the very best of British television at your fingertips. The problem of course is that the BBC use the user's IP address to check their geographic location and if they are not in the UK, they are out of luck!
This is where Easy-Hide-IP really comes into it's own, by routing all internet traffic through a dedicated UK server you can appear to be in the UK and hey-presto you have access to all the BBC iPlayer content you want and unlike these so called 'free' proxy servers out there (see my previous post about the realities of free proxies here) because we use dedicated servers you wont have to worry about limited bandwidth issues that make watching internet TV impossible.
All you have to do is download and install the latest version and then either start a trial or enter your registration code (if you have already purchased a license) and connect to one of the UK servers listed. Once connected head down to the BBC iPlayer website and watch away.
And that's not all, as well as access to the BBC network you can also access other on-demand services like ITV and Channel 4 with the platform.
With a full year's license costing just $29.95 it works out at only $2.50 a month or you can pay monthly for only $4.95 a month this is by far the cheapest services available today with most other services charging in excess of $15 per month for the same service!

Can you imagine your phone calls being listened to and home or business mail being intercepted and read by others? The mere thought makes us anxious, but the fact is that many people are putting their selves at an even greater risk on a daily basis with the way they use the Internet.
The reality is that an unimaginable amount of personal information is constantly exchanged online, much of which is exposed to hackers and other criminals who have the ability to track, trace, and steal this precious data.
But what if you had the chance to cover your digital tracks and use the Internet anonymously?
Well, thankfully it's possible through the use of Internet security tools which allow you to change your IP address so that you can't be identified by these cyber thugs.
There are different ways to go about changing or hiding your IP address, but in particular there are two popular methods. As is the case with nearly every single product or service in the world, you have the option of selecting from either free or paid solutions.
However, is the difference between these two merely a matter of dollar signs?
Let's take a closer look by analyzing exactly how well they work out with regards to the three most critical factors that matter the most when you want to hide your IP address.
