iPrivacyTools offers it's own fee-based software and
service, and therefore may not be considered the most unbiased reviewer
of 3rd party products. However, we also strive to be a legitimate and
valuable source of information for all "Hide IP Software"
and "Change IP Software", whether that be ours or another
company's. Therefore, without including our own service in these reviews,
and while not "rating" or "ranking" programs, we
instead provide you with an outline of all software that we would not
hesitate to recommend. We do not receive any commission or rewards of
any kind for the links provided.
If a program prevents detection of your IP, we classify it as "hide
IP address software". If the program also gives you a
choice of where to locate your IP address, or at least lets you rotate
IP's anytime, then we classify it as "change ip address
software".
