Personal VPN - Access US only sites from around the world

Many web sites only offer services to US residents. These services include video, music, email and a host of other topics. Americans traveling outside of the USA often find that they can no longer access their favorite or even essential web sites once they leave the USA. The way in which the web sites determine this is via your IP address. If it sees an address that is coming from the USA -- it lets you in. If not, it blocks access.

Personal VPN's like SurfBouncer that have servers available in the USA, provide an American address when using them. So... you could be in Europe but, after signing on to the VPN, it would seem to all the web sites you visit that you are in the USA.

The same is true in reverse. Using European servers while visiting the United States will make it appear to the web sites that you are visiting that you are still in Europe. Therefore, you can access European content when in the USA.

Beware of VPNs that claim to have servers all around the world. If their servers are not in the USA offering USA-exclusive access, then you are not going to get a U.S. IP address. Having servers all around the world, in unstable foreign countries, is often sold as a "security" feature. In our view, having all of our data flowing to some third world country for the local government to have complete access to is not a comforting prospect.

In conclusion, if you can't access your favorite online video or other site from outside the USA, then get a personal VPN with USA servers and solve the problem.
