What is Hidester? We explain the popular proxy service

The more important and bigger the Internet becomes, the more users worry about security and anonymity. A tool like Hidester comes in handy, and our guide introduces the service.

Surf anonymously: Hidester encrypts your IP address, giving you peace of mind.

We explained how proxy servers work in more detail here. Hidester is an example of a particularly easy-to-use tool.

What is Hidester and how do you use it?

Pictorially speaking, Hidester is a proxy service that interposes itself between the user and the Internet. In this position, the service connects both sides and can prevent the disclosure of certain information.

• This specifically involves the user's IP address. This is automatically assigned and is unique, which allows identification without doubt.
• With Hidester, users remain anonymous because the IP address is encrypted. The data arriving at websites, for example, thus no longer reveals any information about the visitor.
• An additional advantage is that geographical restrictions can be circumvented.

In application, Hidester is extremely straightforward:

1. Call this page.
2. Geben Sie die gewünschte URL in das Adressfeld ein und klicken Sie auf „Surf anonymously“.

Sie gelangen auf die Zielseite und bemerken die Nutzung von Hidester nur durch die Menüleiste ganz oben. Davon abgesehen ändert sich nichts: Sie können ganz normal surfen, sind dabei aber anonym und sicher unterwegs.
