Hide My IP Help Center

Install the browser extension for Chrome, Firefox and Opera

The extension changes the IP address of your browser only. Other apps on your device keep your real IP. To protect the whole device, use the app for Windows, Mac, Android or iPhone.

The extension needs Chrome 116, Firefox 128 or Opera 116, or newer.

Install the extension

After you install it, click the Hide My IP icon in the browser toolbar. Pin the icon so it is easy to find.

Enter your license key

  1. Click the Hide My IP icon.
  2. Click Unlock Premium at the bottom.
  3. Paste your license key and click Save.

You can also use Enter License in the settings menu of the extension.

Private windows

The extension does not work in private or incognito windows until you allow it. In Chrome, open the extension details and turn on Allow in Incognito. In Firefox, open the extension in Add-ons and themes and set Run in Private Windows to Allow.
