Have you ever clicked on a humorous video or got redirected to some website and discovered it simply would not work. You might have got a blank page or maybe a message saying that this website is not available in your nation. The reason this is occurring is something called geotargeting and essentially means selecting what you can get based on your place. So for instance, the technology is utilized by the search engines to ensure you get results tailored to where you live. In this situation it is actually very useful and helps steer your investigations into the appropriate way. In many scenarios though, geotargeting is actually harmful. Web sites will use it to charge different costs to different places. In the USA some DIY shops will look up your location, subsequently charge you based on how far you are from a challenger. It's quite common practice for companies to use something called priced discrimination to maximise their profits. Take for example a global service like Netflix, if you logon from the UK you'll get something like half as many movies as those who logon to the American service. The technology behind this is really quite simple. All that occurs is that your IP address is logged when you connect to the site. Subsequently that address is looked up in a large database to fit the address to a specific place. The website subsequently will determine what you can access or what it bills based on where you reside. However there's a way around these tests, a technique where you can control access to your place when you're online. The trick is to relay your connection through another server. Using proxies or VPNs in other nations you can choose your virtual place. When your link is relayed through any of these servers, your actual IP address is hidden and just the proxies is visible. It's possible to set these up easily on computers, notebooks, iPads and even mobile phones. Here's the way you can free up your net connection in your iPad. See the British Broadcasting Corporation from anyplace, access Hulu and Pandora.com with a click of the button.
