The main intention Taro Labs (from China) developed SSTap is - the hooking working mechanism of SocksCap64 (which was implemented with DLL injection technology) can cause itself to be recognized and intercepted by some game anti-theft systems and not work properly. In other words, SocksCap64 is not suitable for providing SOCKS proxy for all game programs, so that's where SSTap enters the picture.

SocksCap used to be the most popular proxy client made by Permeo for Windows XP. Unfortunately, Permeo gave up the maintenance of SocksCap so it couldn't be used on a 64-bit OS. In essence, SocksCap64 is a 64-bit version of SocksCap that perfectly supports Windows XP and higher versions (both 32-bit and 64-bit), which is implemented based on the DLL injection technology. It was originally designed to help the author (Taro Labs from China) himself reduce the connection delay when playing cross-regional online games.

Using proxies to indirectly connect to (from a non-real IP address) Internet used to be primarily used to speed up the web browsing. But now, as bandwidth widens, it is more often used as a means of breaking through Internet blockages and a method of achieving anonymous Internet access (i.e., hiding a user's real IP address and protecting user's online privacy and security).

Proxy Switcher is a powerful, professional-level proxy server searching, testing and managing software. It automatically downloads a proxy list from the Internet (displaying the country each proxy server resides in at the same time), analyzes whether it is available, and displays some status information like connection speed in real time. Especially, it allows you to quickly switch between network environments such as proxy connection and direct connection, which is very convenient.

An IP address is a unique identification number that is used to identify all computers and websites on the Internet. When you connect to the Internet, your computer is assigned an IP address from your local Internet Service Provider (ISP). This is known as a direct connection to the Internet. But sometimes you need to use a fake IP instead, with the anonymity and privacy security in mind, for example:
  • Access some websites banning you or your country IPs
  • Surf the Internet anonymously
  • Send emails anonymously
  • Prevent identity theft and intrusion from hackers
  • Prevent anyone from seeing your real IP when communicating with them

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is currently the best way to encrypt the Internet connection in order to greatly increase our digital privacy and online security. Speaking of VPN services, there are many such applications. But their stability and speed are often the primary reason for limiting their spread.

There are a lot of similar software as Hide ALL IP (their working principle is just a proxy). But to be honest, they are not very useful, or even completely useless in many countries with strict Internet censorship. Because the general HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxies, even the so-called highly anonymous ones, almost were all blocked by the powerful network firewalls of some countries, without exception.

As a web proxy software, the essence of Hide My IP is to hide (by changing) your real IP, it has two major design intentions:
  • Access censored or blocked websites in your country
  • Protect your online privacy, so as to enjoy private/anonymous web surfing

Hide IP Easy is a relatively old utility used to hide our real IP address, which adopts a highly anonymous proxy, mainly used to make web browsers implement anonymous web surfing.
