VPN or other Alternative
Hi there,
I know there's other threads about this subject, but it was so technical I didn't understand it.
I've hired someone from overeseas to post ads on Kijiji.ca & they don't allow anyone outside Canada to post. (Why we have to be controlled like this online is beyond my comprehension.)
Anyway, she tried a proxy & that won't work.
Someone suggested a VPN, but from what I read, it's very hard to set up for someone who's not technical enough.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Michelle

Openvpn isn't too hard to setup. They provide full detailed instructions on their website http://openvpn.net/

What factors determine whether a VPN is good or bad?
Thanks

Well as people said, free sucks, so I'm willing to pay a bit of money so long as it's easy to use & fast/reliable.
Also I am not sure how this works, but when it says the server is in XYZ country, does that mean that's the IP that shows up?
So if it says it's located in the States, the IP is going to be American?
We need Canadian.
Thanks
Michelle

Hello Michelle!
I suppose that would be better to get in touch with them directly and try to negotiate. Maybe they allow posting from premium accounts there?

Why not to use any VPN service with VPN from Canada? Also you should get an IP address of VPN and check it by GeoIP database (services like Kijiji.ca usually use GeoIP or ip2location database for country detection) at http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_demo_ip for example.
Server could be located in Canada, but by GeoIP - USA. So be careful.❤ check-host.net - modern online tool for website monitoring
