User Reviews

Reviews show initial praise for geo-unblocking and ease of use with a few free IPs, but recent updates repeatedly break functionality. The free tier is often useless as most proxies require payment, and login popups disrupt use. Reliability and performance have deteriorated, with many users unable to connect or experiencing slow speeds.

Pros

Geo-unblocking capability (bypassing local and US restrictions) to access geo-blocked content.
Free version provides some working IPs for basic use.
Ease of use when the service is functioning (simple to operate).

Cons

Recent updates frequently break the add-on, causing it to be unconnectable, slow, or completely unusable.
Free proxies largely disappear or require payment; many features behind a paywall.
Intrusive login popups appear when selecting proxies, hindering usage.

Is Hide My IP Free Safe?

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Hide My IP Free requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
