Hide My Ass is a VPN provider which currently have “673 VPN servers in 189 locations across 91 countries with a total of 85,137 IP addresses” according their website. It allows you to change your IP adress to another country than yours in which you are physically present at the moment and surf anonymously.
This makes sense if you want to visit websites which are blocked in your country but also if you are on holiday or business trip, let’s say in austria, from where you are not allowed to use the betting exchange, and you want to get access to betfair. Just select an UK proxy and you don’t have to miss your betting and trading pleasure.
The speed of my internet connection is almost as fast as normal, at least I haven’t experienced any restrictions which would have interfered me so far. The connection is also very stable, so you don’t have to bother that you may be disconnect at any time.
HMA is very easy to handle. Choose the country to which your IP should be changed and click the Connect to VPN Button. That’s it!
One last thing. Make sure that you don’t log in to your skrill account while you use HMA, because skrill doesn’t like that and they will probably close your account temporarily.
Despite that I highly recommend HMA, because it is not that expensive anyway. Don’t use free VPN services, especially when you trade on betfair, because the free ones are not so trustful. Invest some money and you are safety side. There are three packages to choose from:
