I don't understand, however, how VPN service will block my iPad IP. And do they mean that I have to purchase some 3P VPN service? Or how does it work?

>>>I am very happy with
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com and I see that it supports iPad (
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/) and it explains how it works here
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/how-it-works/, yes you need to pay but it works very well, I use it mainly to get an IP from another country (USA) but it is much more than that (and proxies are not always a solution, as they tend to either be slow or slow down after a while to the point they are unusable in my experience)

>>Hi Hugo,
>>Sorry for coming back to an old message and asking a newbie question. When you are using this product (PIA) how does it physically/technically work? When you turn on your computer do you have to log into the PIA account before going online?

>I manually start the application when I want it, but you can make it start automatically when you log onto windows; but it should always start before you start a new connection with the application you want the different ip for example before navigating to a web page. You can open IE or Chrome then go to
www.whatsmyip.org, then turn on PIA and refresh and you'll see your ip changed, how it works I cannot explain it better than the link, sorry.

>But... I just remembered you are using it on an IPAD, so if it is like in my android it is even better, as it has a slider to turn it on and off without logging in-out
Thank you. You said you "start the application" and therefore I understand that the PIA comes with an VPN application, correct?
