Want IPRental to really conceal your identity? You may need to adjust your browsing habits.
The goal of IPRental is to provide the ultimate in web security and anonymity, but you should know that running IPRental in itself does not cover you completely, and you should consider these steps listed below to maintain true Internet privacy:
- IPRental only protects Internet applications that are configured to send their traffic through IPRental — it does not magically anonymize all your traffic. We recommend using the Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) browser with IPRental.
- Browser plugins such as Java, Flash, ActiveX, RealPlayer, Quicktime, Adobe's PDF plugin, and others can be manipulated into revealing your IP address. You should probably uninstall your plugins (go to "[Tools]->[Manage Addons]" to see what is installed), or if you really need your plugins please check out QuickJava, FlashBlock, and NoScript. You should also consider removing extensions that look up more information about the websites you type in (like Google toolbar), as they may bypass IPRental and/or broadcast sensitive information. Some people prefer using two browsers (one for IPRental, one for unsafe browsing).
- Beware of cookies: if you ever browse without IPRental and a site gives you a cookie, that cookie could identify you even when you start using IPRental again. You should clear your cookies frequently. One of the Settings in IPRental allows you to flush cookies each time you attain a new IP.
- IPRental anonymizes the origin of your traffic, and it encrypts everything inside the IPRental network, but it can't encrypt your traffic between the IPRental network and its final destination as that is the Internet. If you are communicating sensitive information, you should use as much care as you would on the normal scary wild-west that is the Internet — use HTTPS or other end-to-end encryption and authentication.
