HideMy.name VPN

HideMy.name VPN is a small, yet powerful application that enables you to establish a private connection to dozens of geographic locations so that you can access content that is banned or restricted in your region.

While the setup is quick and straightforward, you have to register in order to receive the unique code that enables you to access and start using the application (free, for a limited time only). The program can be accessed from the systray, and building a connection can be summarized to a simple process of selecting a server based on the desired geographic location.

You should know that once you pick a location, the program might take a while to connect to the server. Also, it asks for permission to install a driver necessary to create the VPN, so make sure to allow it. In case the connection cannot be established, you can cancel the operation and opt for another server from the same location or nearby. On a side note, in case speed is an important factor for you, then you can take the time and perform the speed test for the locations you are interested in connecting from.

It is important to note that the application uses 2048-bit SSL encryption to secure the data that you send and receive during your browsing sessions. Consequentially, your sensitive data – passwords, emails, bank accounts or credit card information – is encrypted and not easy to breach.

As far as the types of connections are concerned, you will be happy to learn that you can use three VPN protocols, namely L2TP, PPTP and OpenVPN. You have the possibility to choose from several IP addresses from a location. The new address automatically replaces your real ID in all applications that require an Internet connection.

HideMy.name VPN is not only a VPN client that can help you overcome online content limitations imposed by various laws but also a service that can provide strong encryption for all data that is sent and received during your browsing sessions.
