Why use a VPN account?
{ Posted on Apr 10 2009 by admin in Category: General }
VPN is one of the fastest growing internet services and for good reason too. They can be used for so many things, including things you wouldn’t think of at first. I started using them back in 2007 when visiting friends in the Unied Arab Emirates and discovered that Skype was blocked by the local ISP (Etisalat). Back then i used an account with company called Rox Networks but have since moved on Banana VPN to unblock sites and access Skype while abroad. Bellow are the main uses i could think of:
- Hide your real IP
- Secure you internet connection
- Get an IP address in another country
- Prevent spying in your office/work/school
- Bypass proxies and filters
- Access blocked sites (like in Thailand, UAE, Egypt etc.).
- Access BBC iPlayer & Channel 4
- Bypass ISP speed limits on P2P networks
- Play online games, use Spype, MSN and ICQ
- Prevent online attacks
- You will look cool to your friends
- And girls will like you even more!
If you can think of any more just add them in a comment.
And you can get passed Skip…
