    I don’t exactly want to hide my IP, but I want to make it appear as being within Japan. Does your software let me do that? Aside from that, I don’t think I will check back on this website, so please email me with the answer.

  2. The most common method to hide your IP address is to use a proxy server in one form or another. A proxy server is a computer network service to allow client to make indirect connection to other network services. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In these ways we can hide our IP address or by installing software call hide my IP address.
