All the happy users of SmartHide V.I.P Subscriptions and existing users of old Personal and Shared Subscriptions are now able to use our brand new Russian Server!

Thank you for staying with SmartHide guys, we are doing our best to improve the Service for you day by day.

As you know, we have implemented new types of Subscriptions. Now we have three types: EUR Subscription, USA Subscription and V.I.P. Subscription. USA and EUR Subscriptions give a user USA or EUR IP that allows visiting sites located in one of two regions accordingly.

These subscription types are relatively cheap; they provide the ability to set up Port Forwarding and have a lot of other advantages. But they also have one disadvantage – a user cannot use the service awhile when Personal server is not available because of some technical issues.

Emergency Server will save your constant Internet security

It would be very frustrating because we are trying to provide our users with the most quality and stable service. That’s why we have created a special system that maintains the service even when Personal server is not available at the moment. What is this system all about? It makes possible for SmartHide users to connect to Emergency Server while we’re resolving the issue with your Personal IP.

Users with USA Subscription will see Emergency USA Server in the Server List.

Users with EUR Subscription will see Emergency EUR Server in the Server List.

An example of Emergency USA Server is shown below:

At the current moment the system works in manual mode which can lead to a little delay in Servers List update when Personal IP is down. But it will be automated very soon and our users will be using SmartHide with absolute comfort.

Thank you for trusting your personal security to SmartHide!

Added: Secure Personal USA IP Subscription (visit YouTube, Hulu, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, other US sites); Long-awaited Mac OS X Compatibility; 3 Fast Servers for the Free Online Anonymizer. Updated: SmartHide now has a Modern Website and software design; Tariff Plans to be more reliable. These improvements are made by Arovax Company team to satisfy all wishes and requirements of SmartHide users.

On June 19, 2010 the company Arovax is happy to announce the great release for another SmartHide v.2.3.297 that brings some more present-day innovations and changes.

SmartHide Homepage Redesign

We have redesigned website to make it more user-friendly and modern. We have used bright colors and fresh styles but SmartHide logo – Octopus stays the same. Octopus symbolizes the main concept of SmartHide – the ability for the Internet traffic encryption and to hide IP like octopus does mask his skin.

We have launched long-awaited Personal USA IP

A lot of SmartHide users asked us to implement Personal USA IP to visit USA websites from different countries like MySpace, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Bebo, Hi5, eBay, CraigsList, Hulu and MORE.

Updated Subscription Plans

At the moment there are 2 types of paid services: Personal Subscriptions and Prepaid Licenses.

Personal Subscription includes 3 more types: EUR Subscription (Personal EUR IP, no shared servers available); USA Subscription (Personal USA IP, no shared servers available); V.I.P. Subscription (Personal EUR IP, Personal USA IP + 8 shared IPs from different countries).

Prepaid Licenses consist of 2 classes: EUR License (Personal EUR IP, no shared servers available) and USA License (Personal USA IP, no shared servers available).

The differences between Personal Subscriptions and Prepaid Licenses are as follows:

Prepaid Licenses do not include Shared Servers, Your card is NOT billed automatically and there is no Personal Manager.

SmartHide Software Skin has been Rebuilt

Now SmartHide has a new face. New appearance of the software is closely connected with the new original website design. The GUI of SmartHide has been styled this way in order to provide users with all SmartHide features in a simple way.

A new info tab has been added to show the account info and latest SmartHide news. Therefore, there is no need to visit SmartHide Homepage in order to get additional info.

In addition, we have fixed several issues and improved feedback built in a software to make it easy-to-use and fast. All of these changes make SmartHide more reliable and useful for our customers.

From now on SmartHide Supports Apple Mac OS X

After numerous requests from our customers and Internet users, we have created SmartHide MacOS edition. Today all Mac PC owners can easily use SmartHide for Internet traffic encryption and to hide IP on a daily basis.

FREE SmartHide Online Anonymizer now has 3 FREE servers (USA, Lithuania, Germany).

Free Online Anonymizer can be used to get the main idea of the SmartHide service. It has some limitations:

1. No ability to access social sites such as YouTube, MySpace, FaceBook, etc.
2. No Internet traffic encryption
3. Slow Internet speed
4. Real IP address is hidden only when you are using browser. In all other software connected to the Internet a real IP address is visible (email clients, IMs, etc.)

What our customers say about SmartHide innovations

“I am very glad that SmartHide team improves software on a regular basis. There is no similar Internet traffic encryption solution providing such services as SmartHide does.”

As a Project Manager of Arovax SmartHide I plan to evolve SmartHide’s presence on Twitter in 3 general directions:

1. Quick announces on all SmartHide-related events, including: new versions releases, special offers, new posts on “SmartHide with Danny” and “Security Octopus” blogs;
2. Supporting conversations and discussions about SmartHide;
3. Instant customer service for current SmartHide clients and help to those who want to join SmartHide Community.

We recognize Twitter’s potential in providing customer service, so we will constantly monitor Twitter to unearth SmartHide’s name mentioned in tweets. My goal is to be able to take care of that person at the moment when it’s most important.
