Today, I want to share another post on some Google Chrome extensions/plugins that can be used to hide IP address to remain
anonymous

Internet Protocol often referred to as IP is the identity of a system in cyber world, it’s basically a kind of logical address of your system and it helps webmasters to trace out users details and information online. Sometimes, it is good to surf the internet anonymously by hiding or changing our IP to protect our privacy.

This free web proxy Chrome plugin lets you access your favorite websites at workplace, and home, which are generally blocked in normal circumstances. It lets you activate the proxy for particular webpages and allows you to quickly cycle through profiles by creating your own profile and configuring the settings accordingly.

Apart from protecting our privacy, hiding our IP too make users enjoy some benefits online. For instance, there are some website you visit online and you receive a notification that it is not available in your region; hiding or changing your IP would be the best option to have access to such website. You might also need to hide or change your IP if your school/office/college/ISP denies you access to some website.

Extention checks the availability of the site from our list, and if the website is not available then access to the site is through a proxy. Our proxy is not overloaded and created especially for us by our partners, so the speed of access through our proxy will not change. Therefore any site from our list is always available, even if the provider is accidentally blocked it.
