VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a way of secure and reliable communication between some restricted sites and remote users. This is applicable for companies operating in different geographical locations with loads of employees working from home, different offices etc. In that case, employees may use VPN tunnel to access their company’s website or portal to access the data. Now this secure and reliable service or way of communication can be used to access some blocked sites as well.
For example, If you are not able to open twitter, Hulu, Pendora or Windows Live or restricted sites on your office desktop or laptop, then you may use a VPN service and open that without any problem.

27. PaperBus
Finding new working ways for anonymous browsing is always a challenge, especially in countries like China where the government itself takes the initiative to block websites and also services that promise to provide means to access blocked websites.
There is a new way for you to browse the internet freely and luckily it is FREE as well! PaperBus is the latest ad-supported free web-browser proxy solution from the makers of commercial VPN service Freedur
PaperBus is pretty slick and easy to use. The best thing about the service is that it is really fast and requires no registration whatsoever. All you have to do is just download the Windows/Mac/Linux PaperBus proxy-client app and you are all set to browse the net anonymously from almost any web-browser, avoiding all the prying eyes including the Great Firewall.
Normally, the free proxy solutions are very slow, and do not load AJAX or java script heavy sites. Most of them do not support HTTPS connections and the application itself is usually bloated with ads. But PaperBus works like a charm – its fast, easy-to-use and seamless. There will be an odd popup of an ad every twenty minutes or so, but then it is Free!
PaperBus was launched 21st of January 2010 and hopes to become a serious contender to Hotspot Shield, Ultrasurf, Tor, NotMyIP and other free online anonymity applications. It works both for Internet Explorer and Firefox. I hope PaperBus stays on as a viable free solution similar to other Free VPN services available.
