Identity Cloaker is a service designed to help you to protect your privacy when you are online. Based in the Czech Republic, Identity Cloaker runs a growing network of secure and private proxy servers.
Unlike free proxy solutions that are often ineffective and not secure, Identity Cloaker provides tough encryption to protect your connection. It combines security and flexibility, allowing you to bypass online restrictions without compromising your privacy. Identity Cloaker was established in 2008 and it has gained the attention of customers around the world, thanks to its simplicity and efficiency. We’ll find out more about this service in this review.
Privacy and Security
The main purpose of Identity Cloaker is to give customers the possibility of enjoying freedom to access the content they want, without sacrificing their privacy. They have their own network of proxy servers that allow you to disguise your IP address in order to protect your identity and access blocked websites. When you use Identity Cloaker, your real IP address is concealed, which helps to keep your privacy and your location protected from eavesdroppers and online fraudsters. The proxy servers will also allow you to bypass geographical restrictions or local censorship as you will appear as if you were connecting from another country.
One of the most important advantages of Identity Cloaker is that it encrypts your data using SSH tunneling and military grade encryption of 256-bit. Additionally, they support OpenVPN protocol, which is recognized for the high level of security that it offers. These strong measures are set to protect your data from online threats and they also enhance your privacy. You can keep your identity covered as your IP address is not exposed and your online traffic is encrypted, which means that not even your ISP will be able to see what you do online.
Since Identity Cloaker is based in Czech Republic, it doesn’t fall under the jurisdiction of US agencies like the NSA. The privacy policy states that they don’t log details of your browsing activity. The URLs of the websites you visit are not stored and Identity Cloaker doesn’t keep permanent records of the data transferred. The privacy policy states that as long as you don’t use the service for anything that is illegal under Czech laws and the laws of the country where the proxy server is located, the provider will not interfere at all.

If preferred, Identity Cloaker will choose a server automatically once you click the Connect button.
Identity Cloaker is very convenient and you can run it from a USB stick, without having to install the application on your computer. This makes it a portable privacy and security solution that can go with you, whenever you need it. You can use it on any of your computers and it is an effective solution to bypass firewalls.

The plans are structured according to the length of the subscription.

They offer a “per user” license that can be used on multiple devices, just as long as they are being used in the same household. In other words, each license can be considered a family package which usually costs more.

We like the fact that the information is presented in a clear way with examples that will help new users to understand better how the service works and what it can do to keep their privacy protected and unlock access to blocked websites.
