NetShade is an Internet security tool that conceals your IP address on the web.

NetShade routes your Web connection through either a public anonymous proxy server, or one of NetShade's own dedicated anonymous proxies (only for registered users.) This effectively masks your IP address as you browse the web. Anonymous proxies are becoming more and more popular in this age of heightened security and privacy concerns, and NetShade provides an effective and straightforward interface to easily protect your privacy. NetShade currently runs nine high-quality, super-fast, dedicated proxy servers located in the US and Europe.

Now NetShade provides VPN service. The VPN is an additional subscription above the standard HTTP/HTTPS proxy mode. VPN is ideal when security is a concern and you want to encrypt all your Internet traffic.

Multiple price options; see pricing page for more information.

For the life of me, I can't understand some of the negative comments and problems some people report. I have been using Netshade (both OSX and IOs )for many years with only a few outages that when reported were rapidly dealt with. I have found the technical and customer support to be excellent, and wish more companies would respond in their manner.

I especially like the large number of proxies available and the fact that I can enter my own IPs and ports, many obtained online. The security is tops and though I tried their VPN, Ifound it wasn't necessary for my needs, though it was super.
