I am located in Turkey. The VPN service provider is
http://www.strongvpn.com and they have servers all over the world. I am
using their server located in New York. Once I establish the SSL VPN
tunnel, the NY server effectively becomes my internet gateway. I need to
do this to get around websites that impose geographical restrictions on
their service (example, netflix.com, pandora.com). With the tunnel, I
look like I am located in NY and the website has no way of knowing that
I am in Turkey.
Regarding IP address, do you mean the USA IP address I receive from the
VPN service provider or my ISP assigned static IP?
