I am located in Turkey. The VPN service provider is |
| 17 |
http://www.strongvpn.com and they have servers all over the world. I am |
| 18 |
using their server located in New York. Once I establish the SSL VPN |
| 19 |
tunnel, the NY server effectively becomes my internet gateway. I need to |
| 20 |
do this to get around websites that impose geographical restrictions on |
| 21 |
their service (example, netflix.com, pandora.com). With the tunnel, I |
| 22 |
look like I am located in NY and the website has no way of knowing that |
| 23 |
I am in Turkey. |

Regarding IP address, do you mean the USA IP address I receive from the |
| 26 |
VPN service provider or my ISP assigned static IP? |
