On 05.06.09, In Tips, by Template Tutorial

Have you ever tried to open a site but the access denied or forbidden? Even you got a notice that your IP were denied to access the site. Then you asked your friend if he or she had the same problem, and your friend said “No”.

Such problem might be not a big problem if it was not a very important site for you, but I could be if the site was so important for instance for business purposes, or anything else. Let us say that you involve in review business. To know more details about the site you want to review, of course you will need to open the site so you will get the information as much as you can. Then you can observe and analyze it before you write the review. Then when you cannot access the site, you do not get the complete information about the product or site that you want to review. This is the problem.

The problem can still be handled if you find the same review from other blogs, by searching it at search engine. However, this way is not the solution when you do not find anything in the search engine. It means that no one has reviewed the site or product. Now what is the right solution when you are in such condition? Well, in this chance, I would like to share with you about the tip to solve the problem. If you are in the situation, then you can use proxy. By using the proxy, the presence of web browser and IP address will disappear.

On the internet, you will find many websites provides the proxy for free. One of the websites is www.hidemyass.com. With this site, we can hide our IP address because we have used the IP address of this site. It is very easy to use the site. You only need to put the URL address of the inaccessible site into the field available at hidemyass.com and then click on Hide My Ass. See the screenshot.

It is very easy, isn’t it? But wait! In additional to the advantages like above, you also can gain the disadvantages if you are not careful to use such websites. The websites providing the free proxy can steal our important data and information such as ID, password, and other confidential info from the site that you enter to the websites providing free proxy. Then, when you want to access a site through free web proxy such as myhideass.com, please never enter our important websites that includes the important accounts such as Paypal, Gmail, Ymail, Blogger.com, and many more. They can steal our important data and information such as ID and password. Seeing this fact, in my opinion, this tip is suitable to apply for the websites that are not related to us.

Besides using the online free web proxy, to hide our IP address, we can use IP proxy from other people or other countries. We can use this way by doing setup to our browser. You can find many websites providing the proxy on the internet. One of them is http://www.proxy4free.com/page1.html.

If you want to know more details about the setting on your browser, below is the example how to set up at Firefox:

At Firefox Window, on the bar menu, click on Tools, and then Options.
On the dialog box, choose Advanced, then Network, and then click Settings
Click on Manual proxy configuration, fill out the HTTP Proxy with Server Proxy that will be used including the port. At SOCKS Host, click on the radio button of SOCKS v5. Then click OK. Done.

To assure your IP address has changed, you check it through IP address checker websites such as www.ipchicken.com, http://whatismyipaddress.com/ , www.ipnow.org, and more.
