About a Virtual Private Network (VPN connection) account

VPN stands for virtual private network which is actually a “tunnel” over the Internet. Each VPN connection is completely anonymous and encrypted and it helps to keep your activities hidden and secure. VPN internet access is an attractive option for people concerned about their online security and privacy.

With a VPN account you can access the internet without restrictions, bypassing blocks that prevent you from making calls from your PC using Skype, MSN or other Voice applications. In countries such Dubai, Kuwait, UAE, Turkey, Thailand, Middle East and Asia where many websites are blocked, including blogs, news sites, and adult and casino sites, VPN connections are an ideal solution. Additionally, VPN connections also provide anonymous surfing and a secure connection for Wi-Fi hotspots in any country.

Your Whatsonthebox service can be used at Wi-Fi hotspots (like hotels, and restaurants) to secure your internet connection or just as a general security measure against online attacks, hacking and data theft. All connections are encrypted using a 128bit VPN tunnel which means your IP address remains completely hidden. All users are provided with multiple country IP addresses so they cannot be traced and monitored.

If you live in a region or work in an office that regulates your internet then this service is perfect for you! If you need anonymous and secure internet access then this service also for you!

Why Have a VPN Connection?

Virtual Private Network or VPN connections such as those offered by Whatsonthebox.net are used by ex-patriates from all over the world (but mostly European countries including Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Cyprus) to watch programs broadcast via internet TV channels online. It’s a way to combat homesickness or alienation in a foreign country which has been found to be very effective.

      • NO set-up fees

      • NO expensive equipment
      • NO long-term commitment
      • Only a personal computer and an internet connection.

Favorite TV channels (BBC, ITV, Channel 4, FIVE, NBC, FOX etc…), TV programs, movies, sports matches, TV drama series (Lost, Desperate Housewives, Heroes etc…) and more shown on TV networks broadcast from five countries (UK, US, Canada, Germany and Netherlands) are all accessible just minutes after a Whatsonthebox account is opened.

How VPN Connections Work

  1. 1. Connect to the internet
  2. 2. Connect to our servers using the IP and login details we provide.

A connection is then established on your computer. A VPN is basically a connection inside another connection. Then all internet traffic will go through our secure connection. Setup is very easy and fast.
