VPN

[Smithy]

Have you ever tried a VPN - Virtual Private Network.
I have never tried a VPN.

A secure, apparently private network is achieved using encryption over a public network, typically the internet.

Yep, I have tried both an open and a closed VPN and like them both. An open network allows you to use the World Wide Web and surf to different sites. A closed VPN allows you to connect with only one computer, server or network and you can go nowhere else unless the computer you are connect to allows it. A closed VPN is considered by many to be the most secure connection.

I used a VPN all the time, have been using one for years.

That might shelter you from some of the censorship others suffer.

It seems that the Imgur photo site has been blocked in the UK over it being threatned with fines over some pictures it might hold.

A VPN can get around this block.

Also can get onto American sites that block foreign readers (Mainly news sites)
