What is hide me IP address?

As the author of Hide IP, you'll probably already know about this, but it's pretty straightforward.

First you need to choose an IP address that is relatively obscure, but does have enough usage in the last week or so to register a "normal" web server. To do this you'll need a free account at Google's Public DNS service.

Your next step is to find a web server that does not track your IP address. There are plenty of such services, most of which do a good job of not tracking individual users, although you can't always trust them.

You can then set up your server to respond to connections on that obscure IP address. When the connection is made, the response should include a header indicating that the connection came from your obfuscated address.

When the reverse DNS lookup on your real name server finds your IP address (which will also be included in the response), you've successfully hidden your identity. There is of course a fair bit more to it, but I hope that's all you need to know. Good luck!

Why is Hide Me not working?

I am trying to get a javascript function that does the following: If you open a popup, a div appears at the bottom of the popup which is styled as a link that says Hide Me.

When you click it will hide the popup and you can then go to where you were before the popup was opened. I tried using the following but it doesn't work (you can see the link is properly formatted):
Hide Me. . The problem is you're using an inline onClick handler, which only runs when the page loads. So the script won't have a chance to do anything on button clicks.
Hide Me. This won't work. The # in your onClick refers to the current element's ID, and you cannot refer to an element ID with anonymous function that has no context. It needs to be relative to the element the event handler is bound to, or use an event listener instead:
Hide Me. document.getElementById('hideMe').addEventListener('click', hide);
Or
document.getElementById('hideMe').

Where are the free servers for hide.me VPN?

In theory, there is no free version of Hide.

Me VPN (see what I did there? haha). If you're not aware, Hide.Me is quite a powerful internet proxy, offering multiple servers around the globe as well as being a one-click install for Mac, Windows, Android, and even BlackBerry. The problem is that it's a bit, well, expensive. Most importantly, though, not many users have had success with Hide.

Hide.Me was recommended to me by my workmates in the U.S. The company had issues on its side and couldn't get Hide.Me to work. The company ended up hiring a new staff member to attempt the fix. In a short period of time, our office was finally able to use Hide. Here's what I think should happen for Hide.Me Free.

The Setup. To get Hide.Me Free installed, you will need to use an email address associated with a student, educator, professional, or other type of account. Once you receive the activation code, you can then go to www.hidemenow.com/activate and download the Hide.Me Free program. This will install the software to your system. (Don't worry, your system will be safe because this was only meant for downloading. There won't be anything to harm your computer!)

Setting Up the Software. After you complete the setup process, you will see a screen showing the following menu: It is recommended to click on each option. For the majority of users, choosing option 1 will display an image showing your location in North America. You should see the following options:

You will then have the option to select a plan based on the number of simultaneous connections your Hide.Me Free allows you to use. In addition, Hide.Me Free offers unlimited bandwidth, which is nice.

Once you make your selection, you will see the following screen. Note that if you did not select a server, you will be taken to the same selection screen. However, if you do choose a server to use, the following screen will appear.

This will let you check out the servers you are selecting. From here, you can simply click on the map below to see where your selections will take you. There are some servers located near major cities. I live in Miami, so for me, I selected the Miami data center.
