This does work? Right?

Hi
I bought Hideaway after a few friends said it was easy to use, literally install, select options, and connect. After buying it a few days ago, that was how it seemed to be (however call me stupid if needed) I didn't check I was hidden I just assumed it was working because lets just say it allowed access to sites previously blocked by my ISP.
Well today I was checking these torrential rain sites and one said that 'your IP is visible' and it was indeed showing my IP and location. I double checked I had Hideaway running, I had 'redirect entire computer' selected and a different location but a quick 'whats my IP' check on chrome still showed my actual IP and location. I have tried it with both redirect chrome and computer.
Am I missing something easy? I'm not huge with tech stuff, it's why I chose this allegedly 'simple' one. I'm with Virgin media in the UK. I'm not having a go but I would like to know I'm properly hidden.
Cheers
