 VPN Account in Dubai and UAE

The daily dilemma. You are sitting at Starbucks drinking your coffee and checking your mail. What you might not know is that most public Wi-Fi access points are not encrypted. That actually means that your traffic can be captured, including your passwords.

This can be very dangerous for your finances and your personal security. Hackers can use your passwords, intercept your bank details, your e-mails, and see which websites you visit including your login details.

So to stop preying eyes – you use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection. A VPN connection takes ALL your traffic and sends it through to the VPN server, so ALL your surfing seems like it comes from the IP address of the VPN server. That means you can surf safely in Starbucks.

We have tried a few VPN providers. If you use Windows XP or Vista, the easiest is to get a PPTP (technical word – can be ignored)

VPN Account Providers we know:
Relakks (http://www.relakks.com) PPTP
Swedish Company with PPTP VPN

FlashVPN (http://www.flashvpn.com) PPT
American hosted

StrongVPN (http://www.stongvpn.com) PPTP
American and European VPN

HappyVPN (http://www.happyvpn.com) PPTP
US and German VPN

All the above should be compatible with XP, Vista and Mac OS X and enough to get you started.

Hope this helps you be more secure when you surf on open internet connections
