VPN

[Krassegrand]

First I want to state that I am novice about VPN and want to surf like if I was in the UK but I am in Sweden.
Is VPN the way to go or will it be to slow to watch streams?

It's the way to hide information in an encrypted format that cannot be read by anyone except the sender and receiver. However there is an overhead for encryption of around, and this is rule of thumb off the tpo of my head, 10% of the processing power to achive it.

[Krassegrand]

That sounds good!
So now then, what is the best way to get VPN working on Ubuntu or Windows XP.

[GastonJ]

here would be a very good start

FreeS/WAN Project: Home Page

or

http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source.html

not so so sure about the 10% bit , but I use noirvpn dot com...works great for me, cheap enough and has 4 different IP servers....and you will not get caught if thats what you're thinging about!

I have started to install!

Sat Mar 5 09:14:23 2011 /sbin/route add -net 128.0.0.0 netmask 128.0.0.0 gw 109.200.23.1
Sat Mar 5 09:14:23 2011 Initialization Sequence Completed

But then it goes on like


Sat Mar 5 09:16:02 2011 read TCPv4_CLIENT []: No route to host (code=113)
Sat Mar 5 09:16:09 2011 read TCPv4_CLIENT []: No route to host (code=113)
Sat Mar 5 09:16:16 2011 read TCPv4_CLIENT []: No route to host (code=113

And internet does not work until I turn the PC of and start again.

Looking forward to learn from you guys.

Unsure what you've set up so far really, however your default gateway of 109.200.23.1 does exist as your VPN gateway?

[Krassegrand]

It is working! It was not that difficult, even I managed to get it working!
Now it will cost $4,99/month or (as for me) $49/year.

i agree with smokin i use noir vpn and find it excellent

Try SecurityKISS Tunnel, will work on win XP, not sure about Linux. It's free for 300MB of traffic and you can buy a bigger package if you want more.

[Krassegrand]

unblockVPN is working both on Linux Ubuntu and Windows XP.

I have been using unblockVPN for watching my favorite event on the brittish national TV about every second week now. Works very nice.
The Flash workes better on Windows than Ubuntu so I use windows to watch. The biggest problem is that bacause I dont use Windows that often there is allways a lot of updates that windows are doing when I start it but if I str it up in the morning or the day before it has time to fix all tha before I want to watch TV.

[codexploid]

check the Tor Project, anonymity online

[Krassegrand]

Does that give You the freedom to choose with country You will seem to appear to be in?
I want to pretend that I am in UK.
