After launching Easy-Hide-IP for the first time (you press Hide IP Now button), you will want to configure your browser(s) to use Easy-Hide-IP as a HTTP proxy. Use is 127.0.0.1 (or localhost) for the proxy address, and port 8081. This is the one configuration step that must be done!

Please note that Easy-Hide-IP can only proxy HTTP traffic. It will not work with FTP or other protocols.

With Firefox, this is typically set under:
Tools -> Options -> General -> Connection Settings -> Manual Proxy Configuration

Or optionally on some platforms: Edit -> Preferences -> General -> Connection Settings -> Manual Proxy Configuration

With Netscape (and Mozilla), this can be set under: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Proxies -> HTTP Proxy

Internet Explorer v.5-6-7 is configured in REAL TIME. After you use Restore Real IP button restore your browser(s) proxy settings to do not use proxy settings.
