As I will soon be traveling to a country that is very high on censorship and where services such as Skype, Flickr, all domains from a certain other country, etc. are blocked, and as, aside from that trip, I would like to be able to access certain sites and services that only offer their site to users within their country, I would like to find a VPN provider that enables me to circumvent these restrictions. My criteria: 1) Serious/trustworthy provider (nothing shady) 2) Fast speed 3) Ideally, I would like to be able to select session-by-session where I want to be seen as accessing the site from (e.g., if I use Zattoo and they will only show certain TV channels to me if they think I am accessing from Switzerland, I want to be able to give that impression, if I access a site in the USA that only shows their content to users from the USA, I want to be able to give that impression, etc.) Are there any good providers out there that you could recommend? Thanks. P.S.: By googling, I have so far found providers called www.blacklogic.com, www.banana-vpn.info, http://vpn-sh1.reliablehosting.com/strongvpn/, http://www.happy-vpn.com/ - not sure they all look very "professional".
I'm going to Dubai. I wanted to avoid this turning into a political discussion, which is why I did not mention the name here.
Thanks, yes, that would be the best in terms of "data integrity", I guess, but it doesn't solve my other issue of wanting to access some content (regardless of where I am) that would only be accessible to users of certain countries (e.g. Hulu for US users, Netflix for US users, etc.). I might still do that anyway, in addition. Thanks.
Dubai pretty much blocked any and all VOIP services last year. Try getting a MagicJack and using it with a VPN.
I signed up for a paid VPN solution. Will try it out and then report back. If I get arrested, Mathloom was behind it .
was in mid east for a couple of years. easiest would be Hotspot Shield. install it, itll open a page in ur browser n ull wait a few seconds for it to show youre connected. you dont have to use it for normal surfing and you wont want to, cos the speed will take a hit with it. i think dubai blocks the hotspot shield download website. either download it before u go, or if u forgot to do that before u reach there, go to download.com and search for it and download off that site.
