Also remember that when you're connected to the VPN, keep an eye out on what types of traffic you send through it, most especially in using services like your bank, etc. Before my wife moved here to the states, she was using a similar service to bypass restrictions placed on the Canadian version of netflix, to get access to stuff that we had here on her phone. Even on the documentation pages for the free service, it warned against keeping the VPN enabled while making things like bank transactions.

Also, it is worth noting that proxy servers and VPNs will add latency to
your connection and may slow down your browsing.

MMM, not necessarily. In theory such services make you anonymous, but
they may be legally required to release information under certain
circumstances.

Hi,
This raises a question. If I'm on a unique
IP address, does this mean I can do whatever, and I will not be caught?

Hi All,
Below is an app I came across that might benefit some of you.
Fact of the day:
Splenda was an insecticide that became a sweetener when an assistant
misheard an order to "test" it as "taste" it.
Things to ponder:
Why is an Alarm Clock Going "off" when It Actually Turns on?
One Touch to Unblock Websites | For some reasons you may not be able to
visit a website due to restrictions by service providers or censorship by
institutions or governments at your location. However, these geo
limitations
can easily be overcome by average users. How easily? Hey, it is just a
tap
on the screen.
On a mobile device, install and run this app,
Betternet
tap the "Connect" button, you can then unblock and access all websites
and
services including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or other websites banned at
your location or workplace. Simple as that.
What this app provides is a free unlimited Virtual Private Network (VPN)
service. It detects your location automatically and connects you to the
nearest server that can access all websites and services, therefore
bypassing your default server that may restrict your access right.
Besides encrypting your data for security, this app also allows you to
surf
the Web anonymously. It changes your IP address so that your online
identity
is anonymous and internet activity is hidden. With this, you can gain
access
to geo restricted services such as Netflix that limits its availability
to
some countries only.
Better still, this app does not impose irritating ads on the web pages
you're
browsing, though it does occasionally recommend third party apps to you.
This is how Betternet works for free with no ads but covers its costs
from
promoters who pay Betternet in return for recommendation.
You can install Betternet to your Android or iOS mobile devices from the
links provided below, or go to the download page to get a version for
browser extensions or the Windows desktop.

Betternet is not the only VPN service as there're plenty of them in the
market, some free with ads and some that you need to pay for, including
several best paid VPN services reviewed by Gizmo here.
