VPN services are sometimes the only working solution to unblock certain sites, hide your IP address and protect your privacy. A VPN account allows you to surf the internet anonymously and safely by using a secure and anonymous connection through servers located in US, UK, Germany or other “free” countries.
The main advantage of a VPN service is that you can get full internet access in places that censor or block your connection and full protection at open Wifi hotspots.
BananaVPN is an excellent VPN service for those travelling in countries that block Skype, ICQ and MSN and other website. For example you can a BananaVPN account can be used to bypass blocks by “Etisalat” or “Qualitynet” in Dubai & UAE or even in Thailand, Malayasia and anywhere else!
Benefits of using a BananaVPN service:
- Provides a layer of security and anonymity
- Bypass your ISP restrictions
- Protects you by hiding your real IP address
- American, German and UK IP address
- Secure connection between your PC and the Internet (128bit)

- Access Pandora from any country and listen to free music
- Visit censored/blocked websites in Thailand, Qatar & more
- Your office/school cannot monitor your activities
- Access poker/gambling/adult sites anonymously from anywhere
What does it cost?
VPN accounts are subscription based and cost $14.99/month for unrestricted internet access.
Installation and Setup
BananaVPN is based on PPTP protocol, so the installation is very simple. After you subscribe you get the address of the VPN service, a username and a password. Here is how to setup such connections on Windows XP and Windows 7 (the same as in Vista):
How do I use BananaVPN?
I use BananaVPN for sometime now, mainly the UK service to unblock BBC iPlayer which is not available for me. So far the service is great and it is worth spending about $15 per month to watch Tough or Chicken, Top Gear and other TV shows.
