How to Get a British IP Address
British IP Address – http://www.identityvoucher.co.uk
If you’ve ever been blocked or filtered from your favorite UK websites, then you’ll know how frustrating it is. The reason is generally your network address, for example you will need a UK IP address to access UK only content.
The restrictions are spreading across the internet and more and more sites which were once accessible to everyone are now blocked based on your location. The method is called Geo-targeting and it’s a concept that is designed to tailor who can access what content.
In some senses it’s quite useful, for instance search engines will use this method to ensure you get search results based on your location. So if you want a plumber then you’ll get sent local plumbers rather than those on a different continent obviously of limited value.
But this doesn’t really make up for being blocked from some of the best websites on the planet simply because you happen to live in a certain place. I first noticed this issue when going on holiday and trying to get access to sites like the BBC and my British bank account – both blocked because I was out of the country.
Fortunately it’s quite easy to change your IP address do nowadays and there are a host of services which will allow you to route your connection through a proxy or VPN server based in the UK. This will allow you to watch any British only content whenever you wish. The service demonstrated also allows you to switch your ip address to a host of other coutnries like Canada, USA, France, German and Spanish to name a few.
