What is an IP address? An IP address is a way for websites to identify your computer location and who owns that particular IP address. Once a website has this info, they can block or ban you from their website or even re-direct what you are actually viewing. You may not care if you are blocked but there are some sites that you do care about in order to be successful in your business.

Did you know that when you view one of your competitors websites using your company computer that they know you have been to their website? And based on your IP address, your competitor can either block you or even re-direct you to a alternative landing page so you don't know how they are actually marketing their products. With an IP masking product, you will be routed through their IP proxy server giving you an anonymous IP that is not associated with your company and you can therefore see exactly how they are marketing their products.

If you do any kind of Google Adwords marketing and you are promoting your product outside of where you are located, you will not see those ads because Google basis their ad display on the users IP address location. In order for you to see those advertisements, you would need to have an anonymous IP that is connected with that particular country. For example, if you are in India and you are promoting your service in the US, you would need an IP masking product with IP proxy servers in the US for you to view how your ads are being displayed.

Have you ever wanted to promote your product anonymously on a website and were puzzled why your posts weren't being displayed? Once again, the website knows what company you are posting from because of the owner of the IP address that you are using. By using an IP masking product, you are entirely anonymous on the Internet and can advertise your own product.

Have you ever been banned from a website for no good reason but this website is crucial for your advertising efforts? By using an IP masker product to mask your IP, deleting your cookies, and designing a new username and password with the masked IP, you will be able to gain access once again. Some IP masking products only have one server for you to access so you may want to make sure they have multiple servers with different IPs, just in case you get blocked again.

Have you ever been oversees and found that you couldn't do your job because the country applies censorship to the Internet? They control this censorship according on the location of your IP address. In order to get around this, you need an IP address that is located in another country. You can use IP masking software to bypass this censorship by finding a product that has proxy servers located in another country with no censorship.

Maybe some of this seems unethical but you do have a job to do and using an IP masking product can help you to accomplish these tasks. In my mind it seems unethical that they can ban and block you based on your IP address. I'm sure there are those out there that deserve to be banned but not everyone is being malicious, they are just trying to promote their own product.
