How does Liberty VPN Work?

 

The VPN (Virtual Private Network) will allow you to access the internet through our servers with a secure encrypted connection. This allows you to bypass restrictions from your internet provider. You connect to the internet like usually. Then you connect a second time to our VPN Server. This process does not require any additional software. An anonymous and secure connection is provided so that you can enjoy the freedom you deserve.

How is it anonymous?

 

With Liberty VPN Service you use the internet service provider (ISP) you already have. When your traffic is routed through our servers by a safe encrypted tunnel (VPN) your internet activities remain anonymous.

 

Hacking is based on getting your IP real address. When you use our service no matter what website you choose to visit, or send an email, use Skype etc. your real IP address is not provided to anyone. This is a great method to take against hacking.

Internet providers keep log files that record the activity of your IP address. These log files are sometimes saved indefinitely and may be given anyone who asks for them with or without a court order. This means that all your activities online are no longer private... BUT with our VPN service, an encrypted connection to a server will appear on your ISP log. One external IP address is used for all outgoing traffic from our server. Because this traffic is combined from many users it can not be separated even if someone tries it.

If Skype is blocked does it work?

 

OF COURSE! Once your account is created you will be able to use such programs anywhere in the world even if it has been blocked. Even if it is not blocked you may experience better quality of sound through a VPN.
