Masking Your IP Address Behind the Scenes

• The mask IP servers have multiple rotating IP addresses that automatically rotate every 30 minutes. Giving you multiple IP addresses to access.
• You can disconnect from one mask IP location and select a different mask IP location whenever you want.
• You can turn the IP masker off at any time and browse with your own IP address.
• The software can be installed on multiple computers, but you can only access the mask IP location from one computer at a time.
• All the servers are privately held. Our customers are the only people using the servers.
• The mask IP servers don't look like generic proxies which are generally banned. The URL associated with each IP address is masked with an innocuous web site name.
