VPN for A Dedicated IP USA
The internet has become very popular in the modern environment, and for many people it is an essential part of everyday life. Using the internet allows people to communicate with each other across large distances, to share information rapidly, and to find out things that they want to know much more easily than they would be able to without being online. The concept of using a VPN for a dedicated IP address is still relatively new, but despite this, the approach is becoming very popular. So, what exactly would make it so that you need a...
read moreBest iPhone 5 VPN
The iPhone 5 is one of the newest additions to Apple’s line up, but just like other versions of the Apple iPhone it is simply not safe to browse the internet on the phone without taking some precautions. It is essential that you find the best iPhone 5 VPN before you start using the internet on your iPhone 5, and certainly before you transfer any information that is personal in nature. Despite how new the iPhone 5 is, there are already VPNs that work effectively on an iPhone 5 and these can be obtained from most VPN providers. There are...
read moreSoftware to Change Your IP Address
People use the internet for a wide range of things and as a consequence, governments and companies have tried to develop more effective ways to control the flow of information and to prevent the internet being used as a method of promoting violence and hate. Because of some of these precautions, there have been associations made between people’s IP addresses and the things they do online, like what they post on blog websites or what they download. However, many times these associations are not true and they are part of the reason to...

The online environment is often perceived to be a safe environment, where people are able to conduct their business online without be worried about anyone watching their online activities. Most people think that there isn’t any risk of their data being intercepted. This isn’t actually the case, and the online environment presents a lot of risks for users that they often are not aware of. Offshore VPN services provide you with a way of protecting your activity while you are online. VPN services are particularly important because of the...
read moreSoftware to Unblock Sites
Throughout the world, censorship has developed as a significant factor that limits the amount of internet content that users can access. Although censorship was once only prevalent in countries that experienced large amounts of political repression, it has since began to be important even in Western democracies. This is why many users have turned to software to unblock sites, because this approach provides a way for people to entirely get around any censorship, and gain access to websites that were previously blocked. One of the most...
read moreIn 2013 Data Privacy Is Cool, And A Real Pain
So I was reading up on some articles recently written about data privacy. Apparently Jan 28 was Data Privacy Day. Wow, I don’t know when that started happening, but I guess the Western World is headed in the way of Asia which now (I attribute it to the long history of civilization over there) has a holiday for pretty much every day of the year. Anyway, Data Privacy Day has come and gone, but we’re still left with the question of how to actually obtain privacy online. It’s not as easy as it sounds. In fact, it’s hard....
read moreVPN Services in 2013 – Are The Still Useful?
As the new year dawns, I see more and more news stories about privacy invasion from companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google, and of course most recently, Amazon. Apparently customer private-data is one of the most prized commodities of the online world, and private companies as well as our government will do anything to get their hands on it. Can VPNs still protect us in 2013? Yes, and No. The real answer is that you must be super vigilant in your quest for privacy online. Yes, VPNs can help you gain privacy, but if you are signed into your...

I’ve covered VyprVPN in the past with a review and other updates, but today I’m excited about a new promotion they’re running over at Golden Frog. 5 Gigabytes of FREE storage space on Dump Truck, their cloud storage service. Free is Free, and ANYONE who signs up can get 5 Gigabytes of free storage. There are of course options to upgrade as well. Here’s my analysis of Dump Truck so far. The Good Golden Frog Control Panel Rather than have to jump back from Dump Truck to VyprVPN, if you have both accounts, you can...
read moreIPVanish Special Announcement From Mr. VPN: 2012 and 2013
After I write a review of a VPN service, I typically don’t touch it for a while, and only update for major changes. Well, IPVanish has gone through some major changes this year. Perhaps most significant (in my books), is that their network has doubled over the course of 2012. Thousands of IP addresses have been added. Cities represented now totals 42. Countries available is up to 31. And they have a total of 62 servers that they personally own and maintain.* Here is a list of countries that were added...
read moreUnblock Vudu Outside The US
Having trouble accessing movie-streaming site Vudu while you’re on vacation abroad? When trying to log onto Vudu while, say, in Germany, the website will pick up your location via your IP address and you will automatically be blocked from accessing Vudu. Due to licensing agreements, if you are outside the USA Vudu cannot provide its services to you. Luckily, there is a way to unblock Vudu outside of the U.S. A virtual private network lets you access servers in the U.S., thus making it appear as if you are actually in the U.S. Hide My Ass is...
