How To Get A US IP Address ?

There are many web services which are available only to the people from US. These services use geographical IP filtering to block any users accessing it from outside US IP range.

So, how to access these web services?

One way to do this is to get a US IP address. If you access these web services using a US IP address, you’ll be obviously able to access them because the site will think you are from US.

The simplest way to get US IP address is to use HotSpot Shield. HotSpot Shield provides a free VPN, and is available for both windows and Mac OS X. The only downside is that it adds a banner at the top of each web page you see while using this VPN. But for $0, this service is great in spite of banner ads.

You can download and install HotSpot Shield from here. After installation, every time you start it, it will assigns an IP address to your computer,

After that you can easily access any sites like hulu and pandora.

That’s not all. You can even open blocked sites, like orkut, facebook, myspace etc. in your school or office using HotSpot Shield. This works because you are accessing all the sites through a VPN.

Enjoy!
