Thank you for staying with Arovax SmartHide Service. 

On April 20, 2009 the company Arovax released a new, advanced version of SmartHide, unique Hide IP Software for Web anonymous surfing and network connection encryption. 

The current release has a few modern features helping to hide IP faster and providing an unapproachable anonymous and safe surfing for home and office users.

Please find below 6 most important modifications that have been introduced to the recent Arovax SmartHide release:

1. Revised user interface 

The new SmartHide v. 2.2.192 offers a considerably revised UI. We’ve tried to organize the access to the main SmartHide functions in the shortest possible way. The tab containing settings was renamed into Home and the functions related to SmartHide launch and connection were removed from there. The settings are available using the link Click here to get more settings. Besides that from tab Home a user can access the members’ area (where you can check your account status or set up Port forward) or to the forgotten password recovery dialog.

The Log tab has become more informative and contains now more information. A separate dialog has been created for settings.

2. Fast server switch from the tray menu

The connection to any SmartHide server has become much easier now. Just right click on SmartHide icon in the tray and select in Servers submenu the required IP. The connection will start right away, even if SmartHide has already connected to another server. One of the servers in the menu will have a tick next to it. If the tick is green – the connection to this server is active. If gray – the connection is not active or in progress.

For those who value speed and comfort we’ve created a special Fast connection menu. All you have to do is to click on SmartHide icon in the tray while holding Shift button at the same time and you will get the Fast connection menu open with the list of available servers. There is another way to activate this menu – to click on SmartHide icon in the tray with the middle mouse button.

3. Additional options in settings dialog

All the settings are now presented in one dialog and divided into categories. The first category is General. Here you can set up the automatic SmartHide update or hiding the window to the tray at the startup.

The second category – Connection. Here we have all the settings related to SmartHide connection to servers. For example, you can “order” SmartHide here to connect to the server automatically at the startup.

And the last category is Visibility List. See more details about this category below.

4. Possibility to enter sites into Visibility List 

Now if you need certain sites to see you real IP address, all you have to do is just enter this site into Visibility List and after pressing Apply Settings button all requests to this site will be performed directly, leaving SmartHide servers behind. It’s worth mentioning that ad banners, streaming video and other elements imported to the site from other resources will see the IP address of a SmartHide server. This feature allows to hide your real IP address from a strange harmful code located on a trustworthy resource.

The new feature will be useful in case you want to speed up the access to some of the sites. E.g. if a site has a hosting located at your provider, there is no sense (unless you need anonymity) to make the traffic go around the world when the server with the site is located just a couple of blocks away from you. Gamers will appreciate this feature as well because after putting the game server into Visibility List, pings become much less frequent (under condition that the game server and the user are located in one region and SmartHide server, to which the connection was made, in another).

5. Vista x64 compatibility

And finally the new SmartHide v. 2.2.192 is fully compatible with Vista x64.

6. PayPal Subscriptions

On the numerous requests of the users who would like to register Arovax SmartHide using PayPal - we have finally added an alternative payment processor Plimus allowing to create a PayPal Subscription! Please visit SmartHide Register page and look for the SmartHide PayPal Subscription option.

Arovax recommends all SmartHide users to update their copies to the latest 2.2.192 release of  Arovax SmartHide.

The current release has many innovations helping to hide IP faster and providing an unapproachable anonymous surfing for home and office users.

Please find below 10 most important modifications that have been introduced to the recent Arovax SmartHide release:

1. Server connection from the tray

The possibility to connect/disconnect from the tray has been implemented in the new version. Just right click on SmartHide icon in the tray and select Connect/Disconnect/Abort.

“Abort” helps to stop SmartHide operation on connection stage. This feature is available only with the connection from the tray;

“Disconnect” is used to disconnect SmartHide from a server.

2. Server selection from the tray

The software now provides the possibility of a server selection from the tray. Click the SmartHide icon on the tray, choose the menu item Server and click on the desired IP address in the displayed submenu. All subsequent connections will go through the selected server. The possibility of connection management via the menu in the tray makes SmartHide much more user-friendly and saves user’s time.

3. Automatic Server Switcher

A new feature of automatic server switch helps to avoid many problems with the automatic server connection. If the option is activated, SmartHide will connect in turn to each server on the list till the successful connection.

The server in Germany has a 100Mbit port which is connected to Gigabit switches with a complete Gigabit network and uptime guarantee. It means no speed limits. Hide IP address fast! 

In order to work with the new server you need to login to your account (http://smarthide.com/members) and update SmartHide to the latest version (v.2.0.56) from the members area. Otherwise, it will not be possible to work with the server.

The new server in London has a 100Mbit port which is connected to Gigabit switches with a complete Gigabit network and uptime guarantee. So, now users can easily hide IP address with a new server at a full Internet speed.

In order to work with the new server you need to login to your account (http://smarthide.com/members) and download the latest SmartHide version (v.2.0.56) from the members area. Otherwise, it will not be possible to work with the new server.

In order to work with the new server you need to login to your account (http://smarthide.com/members) and download the latest SmartHide version (v.2.0.56) from the members area. Otherwise it will not be possible to work with the new server.

The system of servers connection has been modified. Previously SmartHide was connected through port 53, but now it will be connected to a servers list port. It will result in the absence of problems with firewall settings on many users’ PCs.

BUT! All SmartHide users are strongly advised to update their copies of SmartHide to the latest one (2.0.56) to be able to hide IP address with new servers. Otherwise, it will not be possible for them to use new servers that will be added to the software in the future.

SmartHide has been translated into German. Now all German-speaking people can easily use SmartHide in order to hide IP address and surf the Internet space staying anonymous and secure.

General new features:

Modified:  Servers connecting system (server list port is used)

New: German language translation

The main change - the opportunity to run software on Vista (x86) platform. Now you can hide IP address easily on Vista (x86). The previous SmartHide versions did not allow to hide IP address on Vista. It showed that IP address was hidden when in reality it wasn’t so. Such occasions happened in Vista when you worked in a user’s account or if UAC (User Account Control) was switched on. The same thing took place in Windows XP if you were using a user’s account instead of an administrator’s one. This factor resulted in a loss of password, login name and settings.

Now you can be sure that you won’t forget to switch to an administrator's account in order to use SmartHide the right way. If you forget about that anyway, a special notification message will appear.

The last but not the least modification has been implemented: SmartHide will be installed on the supported platform only. Now a user should not worry about SmartHide compatibility with his/her operating system. The updated version of SmartHide works much more productively and faster than the previous one.

General new features:

• New: Vista (x86) support

• New: Notification message about the wrong account usage

• New: Installation on supported platforms only

The software has been enhanced with some new features. SmartHide now uses special servers list and updates it automatically. For paid versions a special notification has been created when your monthly account is expired. For users' convenience we have created a notification that helps you find the right password and login name. If an  incorrect entry is performed, SmartHide will notify you about that. Now you can see a nice SmartHide icon when you download the program for the first time.

Generally, the software has been modified significantly and works much faster now.

 Common new features:

• New: Autoupdate of available servers list
• New: Notify about account expiring
• New: Notify about wrong login or password
• New: Loading screen

Unique proposition!
Now each registered user can invite three friends to join SmartHide users’ community and try the program on their own. They can test and enjoy the program for free!
Free trial version will also be available but some limits will be imposed…
In SmartHide Release 433 (SSL) the port has been closed to prevent Internet criminals from using it to cheat banks and processing services. Paid version of SmartHide won’t have this limitation.

Other modifications and add-ons are the following:

• Accelerated network session authorization and startup.
• Available individual authorization - now every user can get his/her personal copy of SmartHide.
• News section has been added - follow the latest news of Arovax SmartHide changes and road-maps without going to the website. SmartHide official website has also been updated.
• FAQ page has been added to help beginners who only start using SmartHide as a security protection tool.
• Also our support system has been modified. Now every registered user can contact our support team and ask any question he or she is interested in.
