Internet censorship (or more precisely the geographical restriction) is now everywhere, whether you are in the United Kingdom, in the United States or in Australia. Then, if you want to access a foreign website’s contents from your country, it will be impossible for you, because of your IP address. Indeed, to unlock a Norwegian website’s contents (for example), you need an IP localised in Norway. But in the meantime, you only have an English or American IP address (it depends on where you live), and you wonder how to get a Norwegian IP. The most efficient way, then, is to install a VPN service on your computer.
A VPN service to avoid censorship and more…
Before I explain what a VPN is, let’s talk first about what an IP address is.
To sum up, a user’s IP is what identifies this last one when he/she goes on the Internet. It changes according to the place or the country where you are. You live in the United States, so you have a French IP address.
To come back to what a VPN is, it allows you several things:
- Changing your IP, to access the websites’ contents you want (as I’ve explained it just before).
- Securing your Internet connection, so you protect yourself from hacking.
- Reinforcing your anonymity, so your information does not leak on the Internet.
Now that you know the main functions of a VPN service, you can look at the selection below.
