The most common way of hiding your personal information, as well as your location and Internet Protocol address (IP Address) – the identifier all your online activity is linked to – is by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service.
On a basic level, a VPN is a subscription-based service that encapsulates and encrypts a user’s Internet data transmissions, moving their web activity through a protected tunnel in order to create a secure environment for the user. This means that copyright trolling organizations, as well as copyright holders monitoring Torrent and other file-sharing usage, will not be able to find a specific users IP address since multiple subscribers are assigned to the same IP address when connected to a VPN. You get a special address from your Internet service provider that is specific to you – called an IP address. If your IP address doesn’t match the country the services or network are available in, you are locked out and left in the cold. In other words, BBC and the other’s won’t let you log in unless you have an Internet connection from the UK (America for the other sites).
Here’s where a good VPN service provider comes in, where it allows you to reroute your IP address through another country of choosing, giving you the key to unlock the complete selection of Netfilx (instead of a limited local selection), FOX, NBC, BBC, Pandora and other’s. The speed is great too, not choppy at all and awesome video quality independent if I’m connected to the USA or UK.
