Ace VPN

VPN servers help in many aspects: They encrypt our web traffic, preventing it from being observer by unwanted others. They can also enable us reach blocked websites. Even though internet should be free (as in free speech), in some countries this is not the case. By using a VPN server, we first connect to that server, and then the server connects to the websites on behalf of us.

For example, assume you connect to a VPN server in USA, such as the one offered by Ace VPN. Let us also assume you normally cannot access X website since it is blocked by your internet provider in your country. Now, what happens is that, the Ace VPN server connects to the X website on your behalf, and then redirects all the data to you, in an encrypted manner. This means, the blocking never works, since you actually never connected to the X website. Voila!

The Ace VPN service has three options:
Most free VPN services have very limited speeds. But, by offering both free and paid plans, Ace VPN manages to provide fast access speeds, and a highly avaiable service, with servers in multiple countries (including servers in USA, Canada, France, Germany, UK, Switzerland, and many others). Give it a try.
