I've used it before when my router had locked down all access to things like online games but it seems very fickle to me.
nice software, sometime we need software to protect and hide our IP address.
I can see where this could come in handy. Thank you for the tip. I didn't even know software like this existed!
I used this a lot before it was banned by the ISP here in the UAE. It is really a good software to hide IPs.
Whatevers free is good for me..

Finding out about this is great. I've always shuddered every time I've gone on a website and seen my IP address as well as OS and other info shown to me.
