We’ve worked hard on this much anticipated new version which addresses nearly every major known bug our users have reported to us. The aim of this version was to clean up all known issues in preparation for our next release which will contain some very cool new features and improvements.

The most noticeable new feature in this version is IP Validation, where every IP our users receive is checked for validity, with good IPs automatically replacing bad ones.  All functionality has been fine tuned, and provides much better support for Windows 7 with IE 8. For FireFox users, we have a new FireFox Add-on so you should uninstall your current one and then re-install the latest FireFox Add-on from our website.

To upgrade IPRental to the new version, just open the program and you will get the choice to upgrade. Any prior versions to 2.0.2.7 will cease functioning after Feb 3rd.

We’re feeling great about this new version and think you will as well, and we look forward to your feedback as well as suggestions for future features.

Thanks! IPRental Staff

We have just released a major new version of IPRental that contains many of the features our customers have been requesting, here are some highlights of 2.0:

OnBoard Proxy Service- the new version let’s you use IPRental in a similar fashion to traditional proxy services, with the ability to loopback you can now specify certain ports which your software can hopefully use to attain new IPs from IPRental. To ensure your applications are using IPRental’s IPs, just set the ports to 5420 and 5421, and attain a fresh IP each time when switching between these two ports. Premium users can .

User Agent Masking- besides tracking IP addresses, many sites track your User Agent which is a combination of factors mainly relating to the type of browser you are using. Version 2.0 contains a handy feature which let’s you randomly assign various User Agent data to your session.

Socket IP Switch Tool-   Premium users can have access to the other port not in use on the OnBoard Proxy.  While data is flowing through Port A, any requests that are cycled to Port B causes IPRental to fetch a new IP for that data session.  This tool will be useful for third-party applications wanting to switch the IP remotely without getting a programmer involved.

Automatic Cookie Deletion- you can now enable the option to automatically delete your cookies & temporary files each time you get a fresh IP from us, very handy!

There are many more improvements in this major new release, check them out for yourself by upgrading to the new version here:

One of our favorite uses of IPRental is when we are overseas, and we try to listen to Pandora or watch Hulu which is not allowed from outside the USA due to licensing and copyright isssues. So what we do is run IPRental, stream our music in IE but then use FireFox for our regular work with the IPRental FireFox Add-On disabled, in this way we use our local ISP for our regular work and surfing and don’t slow down the IPRental network since we’re using our local IP in Firefox, and a USA IP in IE. We’re psyched that streaming Hulu and Pandora and other sites works great over IE, hopefully the world will catch on soon and start ordering our Media Service package.

We love hearing from our users, it seems like everyone has a different usage, from streaming Pandora from outside the US, to Internet postings, security checking, etc…

Please comment and let us know how and why you use IPRental.
