subject: How To Unblock All Websites And Protect Your Privacy With A Personal Vpn Account [print this page] We are experiencing today an ongoing opposition to freedom of speech and free access to information, on all levels, but especially on the Internet.
The most affected areas are countries in Asia (especially in the Middle East like Oman, UAE, Qatar or Saudi Arabia). The authorities in these countries censor, filter and block many Internet sites, mainly for political reasons. China is an extreme example of such practices, the Chinese government having blocked access to a large array of websites, including Facebook, Twitter and even YouTube.
These restrictions are supported not only by the local population, but also by expatriates, foreign tourists or exchange students.
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that establishes a secure private network connection within a public network like the Internet. It is currently the most advanced form of anonymity and security for Internet users.
With a Personal VPN Service, all your Internet traffic (sent or received) is encrypted. It's the VPN server that does all the hard work by fetching and encrypting the data you request. This is especially important because normally the ISP (Internet Service Provider) has access to all this information (accessed web pages, names of downloaded or shared files etc.), but with a VPN Service your ISP will not see your browsing history or downloaded files history, as all your Internet traffic was encrypted by the VPN service.
Outside the benefits of security and anonymity, a VPN Account can allow you access to sites that were previously blocked. It works in the same way as the anonymity is achieved, because when you (the VPN client) try to access a site you actually make a request to the VPN server that delivers the content you want. Therefore the Internet filters your ISP has in place will not work anymore, and you could access websites and online services that were previously blocked.
Hundreds of thousands of people from China, Oman, UAE, Qatar or Kuwait use this simple yet effective approach to unblock the Internet restrictions their ISP has imposed and to have better privacy when online.
Nowadays the Personal VPN Account still remains the most effective, safest and cheapest way to stay anonymous online and to unblock all Internet restrictions. You can find such services online, with prices ranging from 5$ to about 20$ per month.
