BolehVPN Supports BT Torrent and Bypasses P2P Traffic Shaping (5 Accounts Giveaway)

By HideIP Admin | Published: February 28, 2010

BolehVPN provides a service to bypass your internet throttle – allowing you to download torrents at max speeds, protect your surfing privacy, and bypass websites censored by your ISP.

This is very useful due to the fact that many of the ISP (Internet service provider) around the world are using hardware and software tools for traffic shaping, in order to detect, regulate and throttle torrent/p2p traffic.

Most VPN service providers do not accept P2P traffic, but BolehVPN does. The Malaysian VPN service not only provides standard features of most VPN services, such as hiding your real IP address and bypassing censorship, but also encrypts your data connection preventing ISPs from snooping what you are downloading or performing traffic analysis or p2p throttling.

BolehVPN Servers and Packages

BolehVPN has servers that located in United States, UK, Canada, Luxembourg, and Sweden. The US server is for surfing and streaming only. The connections are established via OpenVPN.

11 Motives to Get a US IP Address

By HideIP Admin | Published: February 23, 2010

Last week, SmartHide offered 10 accounts with the new Personal USA IP Subscription for How-to-hide-ip.info readers. More than 30 people have responded to our challenge and answered to the following question:

“What would you use the SmartHide Personal USA account for?”

The answers were focused, as expected, on unblocking sites, anonymous browsing and internet security. Below you can read 11 motives mentioned for getting a US IP address:

  1. Internet security / anonymous browsing / keep my data private
  2. To access WiFi networks securely
  3. Download using torrent p2p and Rapidshare
  4. Visit websites blocked in my country / bypassing China GFW
  5. Access and visit US-Only restricted websites (Hulu, YouTube, Pandora, Veoh, ABC, CW) from outside of United States
  6. My office blocked my favorite sites, so I want to unblock them.
  7. To stop viruses, as my computer was off the air once for a month because my computer was hacked.
  8. Keep my ISP and others from doing DFI on my data.
  9. Use the account to access http://www.billboard.com , aol and cbs radio, and listen to music there.
  10. Living in the UK is awful internet wise! I want the services US folks get, damnit! I miss discovering new music on Pandora, and I’d rather not download a whole album just to see if I like it. :)
  11. I want to use it for accessing all non-academic sites blocked by the crazy administrator of my dorm. :)

It offers 3,000 hours of content from BBC, Channel 4 and Five — independent broadcasters also will offer TV episodes and other content for SeeSaw.

SeeSaw - If you love TV

All content is free, but includes 60-second advertisements that are shown before and after each TV episode a viewer watches.  “SeeSaw has been designed for both viewers and advertisers,” said Pierre-Jean Sebert, SeeSaw CEO, during a press conference.  “It’s the best TV, collected together in one place on a site that’s easy to use.”

The Best 5 Web Proxy Sites To Hide Your IP Address

By HideIP Admin | Published: February 20, 2010

Web proxies are clearly not the best option when it comes to hiding your IP address, but when no other options are available they are good enough. This is the case when you are at school or at work and you don’t have the rights to install any hide ip tool (like IP Hider, Hide-My-IP, Hide The IP, etc.) or to configure a VPN connection.

If this is you case, web proxies can save your day and let you access sites that are restricted by the school or company policy (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.). There are plenty of web proxies and places you can search for them, but finally the best are those that are online for a longer time (more than 1-2 months).

Here is a list of 5 web proxies that are available for more than 5 years and that I consider to be the best:

1. Hide My Ass

Website existing since: 2005
Website URL: http://hidemyass.com

2. Anonymouse

Website existing since: 2004
URL: http://anonymouse.org/
