Virtual Private Network (VPN) - Change your location!
What is a VPN?
Well a Virtual Private Networks (VPN) allows you to connect to the internet via a server run by a VPN provider. All data traveling between your computer, phone or tablet, and this “VPN server” is securely encrypted.
- Provide privacy by hiding your internet activity from your ISP (and government)
- Allow you to evade censorship (by school, work, your ISP, or government)
- Allow you to “geo-spoof” your location in order to access services unfairly denied to you based on your geographical location (or when you are on holiday)
- Protect you against hackers when using a public WiFi hotspot
- Allow you to P2P download in safety.
For users who cannot get in to a particular ICO due to being a US Citizen or in any other country then this is the answer for you! Change your location to another country! The best one I have found is Express VPN.
The cost to use this service starts at $12.95 per month, which isn't the cheapest around. I just find it to be the best out of the bunch.

Good post. I've never used a VPN but would TOR not be a better option (which I've never used either) as a VPN provider knows your real IP address whereas TOR does not?
I just find a VPN so easy to use. I have Hotspot Shield on my MacBook, press a button and it's on.
I haven't heard of Hotspot Shield. Sounds good. Followed you for more.
If you use a Mac, pretty sure i got it in the App Store
I'll definitely check it out. Thanks again.
