How to Hide Your IP, Browse the Web Anonymously and Access Restricted Sites

隐藏IP，匿名浏览，访问受限网站

Internet censorship is something which almost all of us, no matter where we live, encounter in one form or the other. Social networking or video sharing sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are usually blocked in offices. Some sites, like Pandora, are country specific. And if you are in a place like China, well, you’ve heard the censorship stories, haven’t you?

(略)

Even if you can visit the sites mentioned above using certain workarounds or tools, your school/company or ISP may record your recent activities, something you might not want.

即使你通过某种手段或工具访问到一些平时无法正常登录的网站，你的公司/学校或互联网服务提供商也可能记录下你最近的网络活动，这也许是你所不愿意的。

There are online web proxies too, but many of them are of unknown origin and hence you cannot ensure complete privacy. So how do we hide IP and securely surf the web anonymously? I’d say VPN is probably the best and ultimate solution to bypassing internet censorship in a secure way.

虽然也有在线网页代理，但很多都无法弄清来源，也就没法保证隐私的完整性。那么，我们怎样隐藏IP，安全、匿名地在网上冲浪呢？我得说，VPN可能是最好也是最终的解决方案。

在这里输入译文

According to Wikipedia,

据Wikipedia定义，

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization’s network. It aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organization. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization with the same, secure capabilities, but at a much lower cost.

虚拟专用网（VPN）是某组织或公司使用公共电信基础设施（如：互联网）为远程办公室或个人用户提供安全接入其内部网络的虚拟网络。它旨在避免组织为购买或租赁专用线路而产生的庞大开支。VPN的目标是用少得多的开销为组织提供相同的、安全的网络性能。

While Wikipedia’s definition highlights VPN’s commercial benefit, for users like us, it means that if we use a VPN service (like one we are going to discuss) whose servers are in a specific country, we will be assigned an IP of that location and would be able to browse sites limited to that country privately and securely.

虽然Wikipedia的定义强调VPN的商业利益，然而对我们这样的用户而言，VPN的意义在于：如果我们使用一个服务器位于特定国家的VPN服务，就会得到那个地点的IP，也就能秘密而安全地浏览只对那个国家开放的网址。

Thus, if you’re using a VPN service provided by US servers, you can visit sites like Hulu and Pandora even if you are outside US. Same is the case when you are in a limited or censored network and using a VPN to connect to that network.

即，如果你使用美国服务器提供的VPN服务，那即便你不在美国境内也能访问诸如Hulu和Pandora这样的网站。同样地，可以利用VPN来连接受限或被封杀的网络。

Now, lets talk about some popular and free VPN services that can help you surf the web as freely as possible without worrying about privacy and censorship issues.

现在，我们来谈谈那些受欢迎的免费VPN服务吧！它们可以给你最大限度的上网自由度，还不用担心隐私泄露和审查问题。

Hotspot Shield

“热点盾牌”（Hotspot Shield）

Probably, the most popular one among all free VPN providers. Hotspot Shield is an OpenVPN based privacy and security tool, used to encrypt your web browsing when at public hotspots and to circumvent web filters.

也许是免费VPN中最流行的了。“热点盾牌”（Hotspot Shield）是基于开放VPN（OpenVPN）的隐私和安全工具，用于在公共热点（比如公共场所的Wi-Fi服务）加密网页浏览和绕过网页过滤器。

Here are the steps to use it.

以下是使用步骤：

Download Hotspot Shield and then install the package. The newer version will first launch a download manager for the installation.

下载并安装Hotspot Shield程序。新版本的程序会首先为安装过程启动一个下载管理器。

After downloading is finished, the installer will launch.

下载完成后，安装程序将会启动。

The only thing I need to mention is that you may not need the Hotspot Shield IE toolbar, so just uncheck it while installing.

我得提及的唯一一点是：你可能并不需要Hotspot Shiled IE 工具栏，因此，安装时不要勾选它就行了。

Neither do you want to enable these options, I guess.

我猜，你也不想要以下这些选项吧。

Once you are done selecting the options, you can click install to begin. If there are any dialog boxes prompting new driver installation, just click “Install”.

选完这些选项后，就可以点击开始安装了。如果有对话框弹出来要安装新的驱动，直接点击“安装”。

Now you can double click Hotspot Shield shortcut, and wait for the connection. Right click the program icon in system tray to switch the VPN connection on or off. There is no need to register or pay for the service, but you will receive advertisements and forced URL redirect sometimes.

现在，你可以双击Hotspot Shield快捷方式，等待连接建立。右键点击系统托盘里的程序图标可以开关VPN连接。不需要注册或者为此服务付款，但有时会收到广告和强制URL重定向。

Note: Although HotSpot Shield is pretty effective, you cannot watch Hulu videos using it. It’s just that Hulu is smarter. Most of the other US based sites work fine though.

注：虽然Hotspot Shield作用强大，你却不能用它观看Hulu视频。因为Hulu更聪明，能识别出你在吃免费午餐^_^。Hotspot Shield对其它大多数美国站点都适用。

Free VPN

自由VPN（Free VPN）

Another well known VPN provider, Free VPN is also free and doesn’t require registration. It has a forced URL redirect and changes the homepage to display ads, but you can buy a paid account to get rid of them (and also enable torrents downloading).

另一个著名VPN提供商，自由VPN（Free VPN）同样免费，无须注册。它有一个强制URL重定向，会修改主页来显示广告，但你可以购买付费账号来取消广告（还可以有BT下载哦)

Download Free VPN and install it. If there are any dialog boxes prompting new driver installation, just click “Install”.

下载并安装Free VPN。如果有对话框弹出要安装新驱动，点击“安装”。

After installation, launch Free VPN and you can choose a “FREE” server to establish VPN connections.

安装后，启动Free VPN，你可以选择“免费”服务器来建立VPN连接。

If you have a paid account, please switch to “Account” tab first, type your account information in the box, and then you can choose  any “PAID” server to connect in the previous tab.

如果你有付费账号，先切换到“账号”标签页，输入你的账号信息，然后在先前的标签页选择“付费”服务器建立连接。

One More – proXPN

  

还有一个——proXPN

Apart from the popular free VPN services introduced above, here is a new one for our readers: proXPN – secure your internet connection instantly (that’s the tagline). All you need do is to register for a free account, then download, install and launch the client.

除了上面介绍的几个流行的免费VPN，还有一个新的要给读者们呈现：proXPN——即时保护你的互联网连接（它的宣传口号是这么说的）。你要做的只是注册一个免费账号，然后下载、安装、启动客户端。

Oh, and proXPN is ad-free too!

哦，对了，proXPN是没广告的。

So that was about free VPN services that let you hide your IP address and browse the web anonymously through an encrypted connection. These services can also be used, in fact should be used, when you are using a public Wi-Fi so that your internet usage remains secure and private.

以上就是能让你隐藏IP地址通过加密连接匿名浏览网页的免费VPN服务的介绍。这些服务也能被用于，事实上是应该被用于，使用公共Wi-Fi服务的时候，这样你的互联网应用就能保持安全和私密了。
