1. Server To Server VPN Essentials
VPNs essential for a mobile computing world
Posted on October 1, 2012
When it comes to surfing the web or accessing emails, mobile devices including
laptops, smartphones and tablet computers are growing fast in terms of usage and
popularity. With over one billion of the world’s four billion mobile handsets classified as
smartphones, and netbooks and laptops vastly outselling desktop PCs, the future of
the internet looks set to become increasingly mobile.
For the many of us that already access the internet on the move, the use of a virtual
private network, or VPN, is incredibly useful – or even essential – for a few reasons.
Most people with mobile devices use public Wi-Fi at some point or another. One
problem often found when using such networks is that their web filter settings can
place certain websites out of your reach, whether it’s a social networking or peer-to-
peer download site. A VPN connection is one way to get around this, as all web traffic
is encrypted, so the web filter only knows that you’re accessing the VPN – it can’t filter
out what it doesn’t know you’re accessing.
A virtual private network is also useful for anyone travelling abroad and hoping to
catch-up on television from home or listen to their favourite radio station. Location
restrictions on some content can often frustrate these intentions when in a foreign
country, but a VPN connection allows users’ IP addresses to be encrypted, so a
favourite TV show doesn’t have to be missed just because you’re on holiday or away
on business.
However, the main reason for using a VPN is online security. Online attacks, viruses
and malware are all becoming as increasingly sophisticated as the machines which
they target. Because of this, use of a reliable, up-to-date antivirus programme is just
as, if not more important than ever. But a reliable VPN connection is an essential tool
for bolstering your device’s defence when you’re on the move.
Because public Wi-Fi spots are not always secure, it means that there is a greatly
increased risk of information that they send or receive over that connection being
‘snooped’ upon. A VPN connection, however, will encrypt all of the information that’s
sent across that network and ensure that any important or sensitive information is
hidden from prying eyes.

that your sensitive web traffic is securely hidden behind 32'000+ IP addresses located

Benefits of our Free Proxies
• Hide from hackers and network spies
With unencrypted web browsing every website you visit will be accessible by your
internet service provider and anyone else spying on your network. Use our free web
proxy to hide from people monitoring your HTTP web traffic.
• SSL encryption for all websites
Some websites may not offer SSL (HTTPS://) and so your sensitive data (such as a
site user/pass) is at risk of being stolen on an insecure network. Use our web proxy to
add SSL to all websites you visit.
• Anonymous Search
Use our free proxy to surf websites anonymously in complete privacy. Hide your IP
address ('online fingerprint') and route your internet traffic through our anonymous
proxy servers.
• No software required
All you need is a web browser to use our free proxy, no third-party software is
required to be downloaded.
• Bypass internet restrictions
Certain websites may be blocked on your internet connection. Use our free web proxy
to virtually reside on another network and bypass web blocks.
• Hide your IP address
Your IP address is your 'online fingerprint'. Use our proxy to hide your true online
identity and hide behind one of our anonymous IP's. You can also select which
specific IP address and server you wish to hide behind, by clicking the 'advanced
options' link.
• No annoying advertisements or pop-ups
Unlike other free web proxies we do not have annoying obtrusive pop-ups or flashing
advertisements plastered on every page you visit.
• Works with popular video sites
Popular video streaming websites such as YouTube.com work behind our web proxy.
Benefits of using a VPN

A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and stops hackers and eavesdroppers from
intercepting your internet traffic (especially useful when connected to insecure
networks such as public WiFi hotspots).

Once connected to a VPN server your online identity will be masked behind one of
our anonymous IP addresses.
