Makes your web presence anonymous. NetShade is an Internet security tool which makes your Web presence anonymous and secure. Whenever you surf the Internet, your IP address is sent to every site you visit. These sites record your IP address in a log. In a perfect world this data would be used only for statistics, Internet connection optimization, demographic information, etc. But your IP address can be dangerous information in the hands of a hacker, or worse yet an Internet marketing company! When running NetShade, your identity becomes the identity of whichever proxy server you're currently using. Since your connection is being routed through a middle-man proxy server (sometimes located half way around the world,) there will be some slow-down in your browser. But NetShade makes every effort to serve up only the fastest and most available proxy servers to minimize any impact on speed. The trial version will only run for 10 minutes, at which point you'll need to quit and re-open it.
