Looking for device setup?

Firstly, check here to see if your IP is correct http://www.easy-hide-ip.com/whatsmyip , this will tell you where your IP is being reported. If its still showing your home IP then reinstall the application. This may simply resolve the problem on the spot. Please also ensure that you have cleared cookies and history from your browser.

Also ensure you close you browser down, and restart it, after changing your IP as some browsers continue to connect as it was (ie the server it was using) rather than change to the new one.

If this doesn’t work please log a ticket with us via our support and contact page, we always do our best to help.

OpenVpn-TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)

TCP is in general the most commonly used connection protocol on the internet as it offers error correction (and is therefore known as a ‘stateful protocol’). Whenever a computer sends a network packet using TCP, it waits for confirmation that the packet has arrived before resending the packet (if no confirmation is received), or sending the next packet (if confirmation is received).

How much TCP actually slows a connection down in practice can be very dependent on other network factors, with distance being the most important. The further away you are from your VPN server geographically, the further TCP packets have to travel to and fro, and therefore the slower your connection will be. If the server is relatively close-by, then you may not see much of a speed loss, while benefiting from a more reliable connection.

• Better Reliability – TCP VPN service offers more stable connections as the protocol guarantees delivery of packets.
• Bypass Firewalls – TCP VPN tunnels are rarely blocked since they run on common ports (80, 443). Usually TCP VPN tunnels can bypass even the most strict corporate firewalls.
• Slower Speed – TCP features higher encryption methods that tend to slow transfer rates a little. For higher transfer speeds with OpenVPN use UDP

OpenVPN-UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

UDP is referred to as a ‘stateless protocol’ as it performs no such error correction, simply receiving packets with no acknowledgements or retries. This makes it much faster, but less reliable.

In general UDP is better for media streaming, VoIP and playing games online.

• Faster Speed – UDP VPN service offers significantly greater speeds than TCP. For this reason it is the preferred protocol when streaming HD videos or downloading torrents/p2p.
• Preferred – UDP VPN tunnels are the preferred OpenVPN connection method if your network supports it.
• Lower Reliability – On rare occasions UDP can be less reliable that TCP VPN connections as UDP does not guarantee the delivery of packets.

This means there is ‘guaranteed delivery’ of all data, making the protocol very reliable, but there is a considerable overhead as packets are sent, confirmed, re-sent etc., making it quite slow.

PPTP VPN (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol)

Usually has faster speeds that OpenVPN
PPTP VPN can be used on any device listed on the setup page http://www.easy-hide-ip.com/setup

Iphone, Ipod Touch, Android, and Windows Mobile are just a few of the devices that work natively with PPTP. It’s a very easy setup, just a Host Name, Login and Password in the network settings. With your PPTP settings you can use any computer around the world to connect, even computers in Internet Café’s.

Unfortunately when a PPTP connection has a problem communicating with the VPN server, it will drop the connection. This will expose your computer to the Internet off the VPN.

If you are in a restricted area where the ISP or Government has been known to block ports or protocols, and they block the fixed set ports that PPTP run on, then the VPN will be blocked

Classic

Classic uses Easy Hide’s proprietary protocol.

Classic can be used only on a Windows PC.

Classic offers more features like being able to choose which of your programs will be directed through our servers.

What do we recommend.

In general we would recomend OpenVPN-UDP

Easy-Hide-IP does not contain any viruses, trojans, spyware or adware. The majority of anti-virus programs don’t just look for specific known viruses, but look at what a program does and if it considers it to be suspicious. If so, it will highlight it as being a threat, even though the program may be perfecty legitimate.

In the case of Easy-Hide-IP Classic, to protect your identity and change your IP address we need to re-route your traffic through our private servers. To do this we set the proxy for Internet Explorer automatically. Some trojans also work in the same way but of course their intention is to cause damage your computer, this is why a few anti-virus programs detect Easy-Hide-IP as being a problem when it really is not.

Please take a look at the link below for a full set of anti-virus reports gathered by a third party (Download3k.com) which includes Bitdefender, NOD32, Avira and Kaspersky which all report Easy-Hide-IP as being clean.

No. We cannot support the usage of email clients such as Microsoft Outlook due to the potential of spamming.

We periodically review our available servers, and add new servers. If you have a suggestion of a server location you would like to see, please tell us!

We sometimes ask users to test our new products in exchange for a free license. Ask us for more information!

Log a ticket with our support team, we’re always happy to listen to suggestions on improvements.

Easy-Hide-IP is a program that allow you to surf the Internet anonymously. It protects your identity and location. It allows you to change your location so you can access geographically restricted material and keep your browsing private. It also encrypts your connections, protecting you from potential attacks.

Identity theft is one of the biggest non-violent threats to our personal safety, and can mean unlimited financial loss if your details get into the wrong hands. Those people who would steal your information can also view your on-line browsing, ie can see every page you have visited. Easy-Hide-IP products protect you from this by routing your browsing through our servers throughout the world ending in a location of your choice and encrypting the connection.

It is particularly important to connect via our VPN when you are away from home, say at an airport of hotel to ensure your connections is secure.

Each Easy-Hide-IP license is a single-machine license, but we allow you to use the license on one PC (or MAC) one laptop or tablet and one phone.

We offer extensive reductions for multiple purchases, and license add-ons to those who are current customers. Contact us for details.

The current capability of the network is between 1 mb and 4 mb depending on the server you are connected to, the distance you are from the server, and the network quality between you and our network. The VPN protocol in Easy-Hide-IP gives higher speeds than the classic protocol.

Yes, we offer access to our servers to non-windows users via standard VPN configuration available in OSX, Android and others.

There are instructional videos here to show you how to set up Easy Hide on your device.  http://www.easy-hide-ip.com/setup

Remember the downloadable program only works on a windows PC, to use Easy Hide on other systems you just need to sign up for an account, then when you receiver you license details via email follow the instructions on the video

If you have problems then contact our support team, who are only too happy to assist.

You can choose any of the IP address we have available from the list on the front of the Program or they can be seen here for non-PC users  http://www.easy-hide-ip.com/setup  (after the video link buttons)

Of course! You must however comply with the law when it comes to what you’re doing with it!

We do retain logs for our own diagnostic purposes and in order to conform to the laws in the country our servers reside. We don’t reveal any information unless in connection with a legal/abuse inquiry, and comply with EU data protection regulations. Our T&C forbid any use of Easy-Hide for any illegal/abusive or generally unacceptable purpose.

No, bit if we suspect the VPN is being used for purposes other than that of general anonymous surfing, we may as covered on our T&C’s suspend the service and request you get in contact with us.

The license is your responsibility, so keep it safe. If we detect it being used from more than one place at the same time or from too many places within a 24 hour period, so many so it would be impossible even for a mobile machine to be in those places during a short space of time, we’ll disable your access to our network.
