What is VPN? What are the benefits?
VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a secure encrypted connection between your computer/mobile and one of our servers. With VPN account that we provide you get a new dedicated IP address so you can be able to access Internet through a secure and 2048 bits SSL encrypted connection to our servers and bypass ISP restrictions. VPN service is very easy to set on most computers and mobiles and your data is sent via "Private Tunnel" to our servers. With VPN you are able to stay anonymous and you get a secure Internet connection.
What are the reasons why I need to hide my IP address?
As first, many countries such as China, Russia, Iran, UAE, India, Pakistan, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Egypt etc are blocking thousands of sites for political and social reasons, and if you are located in some of these countries you need VPN so you could have access to websites which are blocked by laws of countries mentioned above. As second, you have to hide your IP address if you use the Internet at Internet cafes since sometime there is a guy you share a network with and he uses some software to monitor all of the traffic that's coming in and out of the wifi zone. When you use a VPN which encrypt your data, without the proper verification certificates, this guy will not see you on the wifi connection. As third, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) keeps logs of your day-to-day online visits. With these logs, information about the addresses of the websites you visit and the content of those websites are easily tracked. While you are using VPN your ISP will not be able to find out what were your online activities.

Will it work over any type of Internet connection?
Yes. VPN services should work over any Internet connection (Cable, DSL, dial up, Satellite, Wi-Fi, etc). For best performance we recommend a broadband connection.
Is a VPN Connection the same as a Proxy websites?
Both technologies will change your IP address. VPN would encrypt your whole Internet traffic and all of your Internet applications will route traffic via the connection. Proxy is mainly browser-based and many sites will not load via proxy browser.

Once you are connected to our VPN server, all programs will use a virtual network interface, which protects all programs that access Internet on your computer.

To use VPN do I need to install some new software on my PC?
Our Dedicated IP VPN uses the OpenVPN protocol with 2048-bit SSL encryption. You need to install the OpenVPN client software; we email you the configuration files and setup instructions when you order.
Once I am connected to the VPN service will my Internet connection speed be slower?
The most obvious factor is your Internet speed to begin with. There may be some effect due to your distance from selected VPN server and encryption. But generally these should not have a bigger effect on Internet speed you already have. Also the important factor of speed is ping latency (your distance from selected VPN server) and to test speed you must ping server which you want to use. Server with the lowest ping average is the best solution from your actual location.
What can I do if local the provider blocks my VPN?
