Can’t Access Facebook In Vietnam? Learn How To Access Blocked Sites
Have you been blocked from accessing Facebook in Vietnam recently? Have you also noticed that some YouTube videos aren’t accessible in Vietnam? Or you can’t access websites like Pandora or Netflix? Well, a VPN service will solve that problem.
A lot of people are having issues connecting to Facebook.com once again in Vietnam. If you really want to access sites that have been blocked by VN or sites that are not accessible worldwide, I highly suggest signing up for a VPN service — it not only unblocks websites but it also offers security and anonymity when you’re browsing the Internet. These services give you a unique IP that’s located elsewhere in the world — so when you access a website, it thinks you’re from a different location and not your current location (Vietnam).
Below are a few services that you can try. Most of them offer 1 week trials — money back guarantee.
For mac, Windows, Android, iPhone :
- StrongVPN (I currently use this service and have not had any issues with them — aget 12 months for $85 or $55 depending on which package you choose from Vietnam)
- PandaPow (I have used this service in the past and it worked out really well — get 12 months for $84 — very responsive, great support)
- Witopia
- Proxpn
Apple’s New iPhone 4S – New, Legit Camera & Siri – Will Expectations Be Met?
While everyone was talking about the iPhone 5, Apple only had the iPhone 4S up its sleeves! Ha! Well, Apple, you failed at meeting the masses’ expectations this time. Many people were eagerly expecting the iPhone 5 but soon fell to their disappointment when they saw the unveiling of the iPhone 4S — same design, different features and not by much. I guess Steve Jobs’ last product wasn’t as revolutionary as people thought it would be.
Let’s see what’s new on this phone. Is it really the most amazing iphone yet?
Missoni for Target – How Target Could Improve for Better User-Experience
Missoni for Target just launched earlier today and their site crashed. Good thing for me, I was in Vietnam so I was wide awake and on the site right when it went live. So what did I do? I scored myself the awesome Missoni Bike and some other things in two, separate orders at different times! Unfortunately for others, they were either getting too frustrated staying up late and seeing a blank page, or they woke up too late just to be welcomed by Target.com error page. So How did I do it? I installed a browser refresher plugin for Firefox and I let a few pages load automatically every 1 minute while I was doing other things on the Internet. I had the main homepage, Missoni page, Missoni limited items page, and bike page loading in separate tabs. When the site went live, I was exactly where I needed to be. Not to mention that I had already added a few Target items (long and lean Mossimo tank tops) to my shopping cart and had all of my information filled out until the last step of the checkout page — this made it quicker for me to checkout later with the Missoni items because I didn’t have to fill in anymore information. If it wasn’t for my clever Mister Man, I wouldn’t have been so savvy :)
Question of the Day: Do you think Target should have limited the number of items people could purchase online and in stores?
