Pros

  • The primary benefit associated with Hideman is that it conceals and renders a person's actual IP address untraceable. An individual's IP address is replaced with one associated with a server associated with Hideman.
  • The use of WiFi hotspots render people more vulnerable to threats. Through the use of Hideman, these risks are reduced because even a user of a WiFi hotspot is able to conceal his or her IP address.
  • Hideman permits a person a five hour test period to determine the effectiveness of the application. Once the trial period ends, a person can pay a small fee to utilize Hideman permanently.
  • Hideman works with Window operating systems, including Windows 8. It also is compatible with Windows 7, Windows 2003, Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 8, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows NT.
  • A person using Hideman is also able to block and unblock websites as desired. The application also can be used to clean up advertising networks that otherwise make connections with a person's computer or injects itself into Internet searches.
  • In addition to being compatible with different operating systems from Windows, Hideman is also effective with different web browsers and networks. The flexibility makes Hideman when installed on some sort of mobile device that may end up being used to access the Internet using different web browsers and networks.

Cons

  • Many people incorrectly presume that Hideman is a permanently free product. Although a free download is advertised, and the initial download is in fact free, the fact is the period in which the product is used for no cost is small. A person only has free access to Hideman for five hours. After that time, a person must purchase the product. Many individuals contend that they did not understand that although able to initially download Hideman for free, the product was not usable for no cost for more than a short period. With that noted, the actual cost associated with being able to use Hideman indefinitely is insignificant.
