Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does a VPN account work?
As soon as you connect to our VPN server your computer is assigned a new IP address, an IP address that is owned by us, not your ISP. Then all of your Internet traffic is encrypted and is tunneled to our VPN server. Once there, it is decrypted and allowed to travel to its intended destination. Your local ISP will only see a single encrypted data stream between you and our VPN server. Your ISP can no longer monitor, log or control your Internet usage.


Q. Why would I want to do this?
It really depends how you use the Internet. If you wish to make a voip call to save money on your long distance, but your ISP has blocked it. If you want to watch USA or UK TV program online outside USA or UK ( eg Hulu , Netflix, BBC iPlayer ). If you use our VPN service your ISP will no longer be able to determine what you are using and will not be able to block your usage. If you are at work you may wish to use our service so that your employer can not log, monitor or control how you are using the Internet. Maybe you are looking for a new job and don't want your boss to know about it.
