VPN Solution for People in Countries with Heavy Internet Censorship

VPN Solution for People in Countries with Heavy Internet Censorship
Apr 25, 2011 By eChinacities.com

In a country where nearly all the main Internet services are censored, such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, MSN Messenger, Skype, Google app ... and even https services (eg. PayPal), doing business is really a tough thing. Some personal VPN providers are blocked because the Great Firewall pretended to be a customer to get all the IP address lists. When IPs are blocked, you have to ask for a new IP from your VPN provider, and this has to be done again and again. The worst part is that it’s not obvious when your VPN IP is blocked; even your VPN provider has no way of knowing this. So you have to do lots of work to check whether you are blocked. That's ok, if you just want to have a look at your friends’ news feeds on Facebook. But there is also that terrible moment, say when you’re about to share something to your important clients and suddenly, you can't access your gmail account... That's a real nightmare.

Is there a permanent solution to this problem? Yes, getting your own dedicated VPN server. Only you know the server. So nobody can block you even if they know you are using a VPN service. That's why the IT giants Oracle, IBM and Microsoft have their own VPN servers, spending millions on the VPN service. Luckily, times have changed and you can now afford the service from a personal VPN provider, such as us, FBVPN. And the best part is that you can set up one server for yourself by yourself. Let me show you how…

DIY VPN Solution
1. Buy a linux server from a server host.
You can choose the server based on your location. The location determines the speed of the server. We recommend slicehost. They’ll always ensure you’re happy with the service.

2. Find a friend who understands linux servers

These days everyone has a friend or two who understand how servers work. If you can't find one, throw the question to someone beside you. They must know someone who can help you. Don't be too mean though; give them some money to repay their effort. 

 

3. Give him the openvpn website, let him setup a server for you 
OpenVPN solution may be the best lite and secure VPN solution on this planet, but you have to fix some terrible bugs to make it run on your server. But that’s worth the work. 

4. You will get a workable solution in one week 

If thing go well, you will get a workable solution in one week. It depends on whether your friend is good at the server deployment. 

 

If you don't have your own IT department and also don't have a friend who knows linux, but you’d like to use it on your iphone or android, you can also buy the solution with a monthly fee for several hundred bucks a month from a VPN provider. If you choose us, we will be really happy to offer a complete solution which supports PPTP, L2TP and OpenVPN, so you can use it on nearly all the platforms and devices. And no one can block you from then on. You will also get your own customized domain name, such as IBM.fbvpn.com, einstein.fbvpn.com, stanford.fbvpn.com
