Real Hide IP is an anonymity tool that hides your IP address. It connects your computer to one of many proxy servers available so that your IP address is not easily seen by anyone who might be stalking you. There are quite a few countries from which you can get an IP address.
The main window of this application shows your current Internet IP address. If you go to the Choose IP Country window, you can choose the server that you want to connect to. There are quite a few countries to choose from, but the most popular are always United States, Canada, China, United Kingdom, and maybe Germany or France. Using servers in the US, you can bypass websites that use geographical restrictions, like Hulu, YouTube, etc. The trial version only allows you to use a US IP address.
The speed of the servers is nothing to write home about. You can still access websites and use IM programs, but streaming websites like YouTube is very slow. I have seen slower solutions, though, so Real Hide IP isn't that bad.
All in all, this application does work. It can hide your IP from prying eyes. However, you should think twice before using your passwords or accessing sensitive information using services like these.
