How much do you think about your internet security and privacy? Have you done anything about it? I personally thought that changing my browser settings was enough to keep me safe online.

My internet security has been vulnerable previously, but not any more. I have been using Hide My Ass Pro for the last four months and all I could say is that this software is great. I have shared my experience below to help you decide if you want to try it or not.

About Hide My Ass Pro
This is a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service that encrypts your online activities from hackers, identity thieves and scammers. The role of this software is to mask the current Internet Protocol (IP) address of your computer.

By doing this, this software ensures that the IP address it shares with remote servers is untrue. If you are based in Africa, for instance, you can use this software to pretend that you are browsing the web from America.

Since you will have a fake American IP, you will make it difficult for someone to locate your exact geographical position. Hide My Ass has more than twenty-nine thousand IP addresses hosted behind two hundred and fifty six servers in forty-seven countries.

Connecting to HMA VPN
As soon as you order your VPN pro, you will receive a number of messages guiding you on how to get started. The most imperative step is to enter the site immediately so as to confirm your order and to download the software.

I can assure you that downloading and running the software are both effortless tasks. HMA supports many Operating Systems Including Windows versions, Mac and Linux. After installing, go to where your computer keeps programs and trace the HMA icon.

As you can see on the Dashboard, your username and password are required to initiate a connection. When ordering your VPN, you will receive log in details. After entering these details, click “Connect to VPN”.

Explore your VPN software to discover the following:

• A long list of Hide My Ass server locations grouped by VPN protocol and country. This makes finding and picking a server idiot-proof.
• On the long list described above, you will see the first ten servers that are situated closer to your country.
• You will discover a multi-protocol support. In other words you will have L2TP, PPTP and OpenVPN protocols in single software. There is no need to buy separate software for each protocol.
• Speed test is available to enable you pick the fastest servers located nearby or far away.
• IP address settings enable you to change your locations randomly after a certain period that you desire elapses.

What I love about Hide My Mass

Pricing Model
For the last few months I have used this service, the monthly plan has been so attractive. I pay $11.52 every month to keep my connection safe. When I came across this VPN provider, my budget was tight and so I chose this plan. It is the best for me because it is affordable. If you want to buy once and forget, then choose either the 6-months plan costing only $50.66 or one-year plan costing $78.66.

Confidence while surfing
As a freelancer, I have sensitive accounts that I would love to protect and hide. I also shop online with cards and I have heard and read scary rip off stories that I would not like to experience. Hide My Ass Pro gives me confidence to do these activities without fear or doubts.

Usernames and Passwords
I do not have to worry if I forget to change my passwords often. As soon as a connection is established, I know that everything I will do afterwards will be encrypted and anonymous. Since my web traffic is hidden, the sites I visit, login details I use to access them and people I chat with are not exposed.

Safe downloading
Guarded by antivirus, firewall and HMA VPN Pro, I am no longer in fear when downloading stuff.

Unblocking sites
One thing I have noticed is that I am able to access many sites that are only accessible by a person in the North America. I am not so much into entertainment though. If you are, this software will let you enter various music streaming sites and socio networks anonymously. It is a great travel requirement if you are planning to go to Africa, Asia and other places.

Compatible with my Computer
Unlike proxies that have compatibility issues, Hide MY Ass does not affect or change the way other programs stored in your computer run. It supports many browsers including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari.

User-friendly
Although I was completely new to the whole internet privacy idea when I found HMA, I was able to order, download, install and manipulate it personally. You do not need any special technical knowledge to use this software.

Do you get a Money-back Guarantee?
Yes, you get it. After ordering, Hide My Ass guys will give you up to thirty days to try their software. If you dislike it, which I doubt you will, you are allowed to cancel to get a refund. Make sure you do it before thirty days pass.

Payment methods
These include PayPal, Google Checkout, AlertPay, Liberty Reserve and a number of cards.

Conclusion
Having used Hide My Ass Pro for four months now, I can only say that i want to continue. It meets my expectations every month and I am able to pay for it. So I do not have a reason to stop using it. Apart from a few disconnections that resolved themselves instantly, I have nothing bad to say about HMA. If you want to surf anonymously and cheaply, you may go for it too.
