While surfing the internet, your IP address
is your unique identifier, which can reveal sensitive information about
you, including geographical location. This is how Geo-restricted
websites determine our actual location and deny access in some
countries. Nowadays, VPNs are used to avoid getting blocked in certain
regions. For example, you are at times unable to view some YouTube
videos because of them not being made available in your region by the uploader.
Using a VPN application, you can bypass this barrier and view
unavailable content, and/or visit blocked domains. Moreover, you are
also prone to attacks by hackers and malicious codes, if they know your
real IP address, and find any gaps in your computer’s security. We’ve
covered some very useful applications that allow you to browse the internet without revealing your real IP. Today, we have another application, called X-Proxy, that lets you surf anonymously, access blocked content and prevent attacks from hackers.
The application has a very simplistic interface, with Home, Proxy List and Settings tabs at the top. On the ride side of the three tabs, data about your Real IP, Fake IP and Anonymity is displayed. Click the proxy list tab to get a list of proxy servers to choose from.
Double-clicking any of the available fake proxies in the list changes your IP address to that. A notification in the lower-right corner of your screen assures the IP change.
The Settings tab in the main interface allows you to change the program’s language, skins, view anonymity info, internet speed test etc. To go back to your real IP, choose Restore Real IP.
During testing, we experienced the browsing getting a bit slow after changing IP. X-Proxy works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
