Im going to be moving to the UAE in a month or so and I know that there access to the internet is restricted. To be able to still access sites like the Skyrim Blog Im going to need a VPN Virtual Private Network. Could any of the PC Techies out there give me some pointers as to my best course of action. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I have very limited knowledge on the topic, but this link may help. At the bottom of the linked page is a link to get a VPN connection.
Most of the restrictions I understand, but it's sad that they don't allow skype - I don't really understand that one. (I understand does not equal agree with).
We use https://www.witopia.net/ at our school for the faculty that visit China.
We have been very happy with it, and it has allowed them to get around the firewall there.
There is no way to configure a VPN directly on the Xbox that I have found.
You will either need to have a Windows Laptop connected to the VPN via Wireless, then sharing it out of it's ethernet port to the xbox (http://www.intl-alliance.com/store/en/content/12-vpn-xbox360)
Or you will have to purchase something like Witopia's Cloakbox and connect the xbox to that.
What ever vendor you decide to go with, try to get a confirmation email from them that they will work where you will be going. Good Luck
