Anyone know if there any any free tools for hiding your IP address online? Maybe open source or the likes.

Tor better than Hide My IP?

No idea mate, there are lots to choose from, and unfortunately they slow your connection down a lot, I liked tor when i was using it tho, simple enough to use.

Why do you want to hide your IP? Doing something illegal perchance?

sporedude

Maybe, And then again maybe not.

I have been trying to watch Hulu but I will have to hide my IP to do this. Will Tor work with Hulu anybody?

I tried Easy Hide IP, Could try that and get a USA IP address for Hulu

Hmm pretty sure the best way to do it is by going through seveal proxy servers...however if you don't know - you probably aren't going to get

Software to mask your IP sounds extremely unlikely to me, I could be wrong but software installed on a local machine isn't going to mask the I.P address that your ISP issues you for the Internet.

It looks more like this software masks your IP address to make it appear like it's from a bigger network of PC's and makes that untraceable. Only problem being, you will more than likely have 1 static IP through your ISP and that is going to lead back to the same "network".

Which at the end of the day...is still owned by you

Give it a go, I personally wouldn' trust software from a site that has been designed by a three year old If you are indulging in highly illegal activites online, my best advice would be to stop!

If you are looking for a geninue "work around" to an issue such as "this video is not allowed in your region" then there are other solutions

There are many sites that will have videos downloaded and uploaded minus the region check. Having good search skills would be one such work around.

The main way really is through a proxy as already mentioned, which effectivley spoofs you a new IP as I'm sure you know. There are also websites which specialise in this kind of thing, I'm not going to start linking due to legalities but they are deffinatley there!
