ipprivacy_box2Everybody who goes online is always concerned about their privacy. After all, nobody wants to show their identity online, as you never know who may be keeping track of your online activities and may use it against you. But if you are reading this you don’t need to worry anymore as today we have tested an application which helps protect your online privacy and keep your identity secure.

Overview

The application that will do this task is IP Privacy by Privacy Pro. It is a privacy protection app that keeps your identity secure by hiding your real IP address behind highly anonymous fast premium proxies which is regularly updated and without affecting any browsing speed. It also helps prevent your browsing and internet activities over the Internet from being tracked by others websites, advertising agencies or Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

While providing you anonymity over the net, IP Privacy also ensures that your computer is secure from malicious or privacy invasive codes by preventing the execution of dangerous ActiveX or JavaScript files. It provides extra protection by clearing all your online traces from your computer.

Performance

Almost all the proxies that we tested were very fast and their was hardly any difference in the browsing speed. We even tested them by downloading a file and got almost the same speed that we get from our ISP.
