How Does A VPN Work?

By using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) account that we provide, you will be able to access the internet through a secure encrypted connection to our servers and bypass ISP restrictions you are currently facing in your region.

With this technology that is easily set up on most computers your data is sent via a so called encrypted "Private Tunnel" to our servers. The filtering mechanisms in place by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) is bypassed and you are able to surf freely and use applications like Skype and save a bundle!

Also, ISP no longer can keep logs on your online surfing habits!

So, not only do you get the internet freedom you deserve but also our VPN Service provides an Anonymous (New IP), Private and Secure Internet connection.

What's the VPN Price?

Please refer to the different VPN connections to view current pricing. For example. a one month account might be 15 USD while a 6 month account 75 USD. This means that each month is just over 11 USD!!!!

 

What are The Benefits of a VPN?

How does Anonymity Work?

Our VPN Server Connection allows you to use the same internet service provider (ISP) you currently have and at the same time you remain anonymous in all your internet activities by routing your traffic through our servers via a secure encrypted tunnel... a Virtual Private Network (VPN) making it impossible for even your isp to "spy" on you.

By using our services, whenever you visit a website, send email, chat, ICQ, AIM, IRC, FTP, Peer to Peer (P2P), make internet phone calls etc., your real IP address is not provided to the other people involved in the transaction. This is a tremendous preventive measure against hacking. Most hacking is based on using your real IP address, which the hacker won't be able to get, without that they have no idea where to hack into. As a result we are in fact acting as a firewall keeping you safe from any abuse.

Your internet provider retains a log file that shows the times your IP address was used and where it connected to. Some internet providers save these log files indefinitely and they may give these files to whoever asks with or without a court order and this would mean every website you visited and everything you did is no longer private... BUT when using a VPN account via us, all that your ISP log would show is nothing other than an encrypted connection to a server. All internet traffic leaves one of our given servers with the same external IP address. All the traffic of many users becomes mingled together and inseparable should someone try to do it. Thus the anonymity.

While using the VPN service at VPNaccounts.com all internet traffic is automatically routed via us and you don't need to remember to route everything through a proxy.

Simply put, 1 click that's all!

 

Does Skype work in UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Belize, China or elsewhere when Blocked by ISP?

YES! Once you have subscribed and set up the VPN you will be able to use programs such as Skype to make calls from the UAE, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, China, Belize just as you would if you were in the US.

Also you would be able to avoid the high calling charges to make international phone calls! Besides the quality of sound may be further improved by using VPN!

 

How do I Configure my Computer for the VPN?

When you place an order we will send you your account details and a step by step guide instructing you about how to connect to our service. You will follow some simply instruction to set up the vpn and enter the login details that we will email you once payment clears. NO installation required!!

You can also set up a VPN connection manually. For more information you can refer to the VNP Configuration

Why do I get Error 691?

If you are getting error 691 it is most probably due to one of the following reasons.

1 - The user name or password is incorrect.

Make sure that you enter your user name and password exactly as displayed after your purchase, or in the receipt e-mail.

2 - Another computer is already connected with the same account.

If you're certain that no other computer is connected, wait a few minutes and then try to connect again.

3 - Make sure the Include Windows logon domain check box is unchecked in the Options tab of the connection's Properties dialog box.

4 - The account has expired

Do note that some ISPs do not send disconnection request automatically when a user restart or shutdown the pc before disconnecting from vpn, so the user may remain online and the server wont allow new connection with the same ID. This will also cause for VPN error 619.

 

Why do I get Error 721?

How do You do It?

How we do it and we take it you are referring to how we get you passed blocked sites and how applications work when ISP is blocking them.

How it all works will have to remain a secret. Besides if we told you how it is done and how we are able to bypass the filtering mechanisms then everyone would be doing it and some would try to stop it. Do you want to go back to having everything blocked? Do you want loose internet anonymity? Your right to privacy? We didn't think so :)
