How does it work?

beHidden.com provides privacy protection in number of different ways. As privacy exploits are invented, we develop counter measures to protect your privacy.

At a high level, beHidden.com serves as a proxy, or as a middle-man, while you are surfing the Internet. By acting as a proxy, you tell us in a secure way which URL address you would like to visit, and we then connect to that server in a regular way to download the content on your behalf. Then, we analyze received website content, strip any harmful scripts, encrypt it, and send it back to you. By acting as a proxy, we are able to protect your identity and your surfing experience in a very efficient way.

DIAGRAMM OF HOW BEHIDDEN.COM WORKS

Do I need to download and install any software?

Definitely not! If you are concerned about your privacy, then why would you ever install some unnecessary software on your computer? We provide many security features without any installation of software on your computer, while our competitors do this by requiring you to install their proprietary software. If someone was going to analyze your computer, why would you want to explain the installation of some proprietary software? With BeHidden.com, it will simply look like you visited our website, BeHidden.com, and no one will know what exactly you used it for. Do not install any software when the same can be done by just connecting and using BeHidden.com.

What gets hidden?
  • Your computer's IP address.
  • All of the cookies get intercepted. This further hides your identity, and browsing activities.
  • Optionally disables JavaScript, preventing many privacy intrusions.
  • Encrypts ALL URLs, including images, movies, and audio. This hides your browsing experience from network traffic analyzers.
  • Titles of all pages that you visit get hidden in your browser's history log.
  • When you enable SSL encryption option, all of the traffic is also encrypted. This further protects you from network traffic monitoring and spying tools.
  • and much more, because we are always on the cutting edge and constantly including additional necessary protections.

In addition to your service, do I also need firewall, anti-spyware, and anti-virus software to protect my computer?

The need of firewall kind of depends on your network environment. Usually you do need it but for different reasons then why you would need to use beHidden.com. beHidden.com tries to protect your identity and hide the sites which you visit. Firewalls have different purpose. They mostly protect you from other people attacking or hacking in to your personal computer.

Having firewall is like putting big lock on your house door. Using beHidden is like becoming invisible when you go out of your house and go to the store and to your friends house. People will not know where you go.

Anti-spyware and anti-viruses help to keep your computer clean. They are kind of like metal-detectors put in front of your door. They prevent bad things getting in your house while you carry things in and out.

How do we differ from our competitors?

  • beHidden.com encrypts all URLs of websites that you visit. If anyone is monitoring your network connection, all URLs will be encrypted by beHidden.com. There are a lot of software products that make such monitoring very easy. Some of our competitors encrypt URLs only of HTML documents. We encrypt ALL URLs, including links to images, style sheets, movies and audio. We do provide ultimate protection from such network traffic monitoring software.
