Internet technologies have been among the best ever discoveries and findings of Human history. This technologies have revolutionized the transfer of information and also the process of communication. Internet has cut down distances and it has redefined interaction in a totally new manner. Every person uses the net for another purpose. Some might want to share information, some might want to gain knowledge and some might use it for a number of other reasons.

People treat Internet as a roller coaster whose riders can visit any place they want without revealing any aspects of their personality or identity. The concept is nice but isn't true. In actual Internet is a system where everyone has an address known as IP address which is revealed every time we use the net.

To avoid this revelation of IP address, for various reasons with the main being privacy, several tools are used by users. Several of the most popular tools are IP Hiders and private proxy.

IP Hiders are tools that enable users to visit web pages and fetch required information without revealing their identity or IP to the servers. This technique is popularly referred to as "anonymous surfing". IP Hiders actually masks your IP from the requested webpage and so saves you from losing valuable personal information to strangers.

Proxy is another technique of securing yourself and your system from identity and personal information theft. Using the proxy technique when you make a request on the web, suppose downloading a video, than for the requested web page the request appears to have come from the assigned proxy's IP address. Consequently this requested webpage responds to the proxy's IP address and hence your computer is prevented from being exposed to intruders or any other intimidating subjects. Proxy servers are easily accessible on the web for user convenience. Some servers offer services totally free on a small scale while some charge a premium on yearly or each month basis.

It is presumed that such identity securing and veiling tools are utilized by users who often step towards something illegitimate and unacceptable. In some cases it is a fact but it really is not the case always. Sometimes examination information is tapped from university computers using IP address information, and sometimes bank accounts are secured using IP Hiders. So it's all part of this technology enigma and what we should do is to make the most of this technology in a positive direction.
