out of genuine curiosity. Firstly I have seen quite a few forum members mention them over the last couple of months and how handy they are in circumventing some access restriction policies with regards to ports. Secondly, I have been doing some MS certifications to do with servers, security and vpns so I wanted to have a crack at it.
Like I said from the get go, this wasn't about trying to access tpb. I am a genuinely curious guy and I like to understand how things work (I have actually got a degree in microbiology) so when something like this happens and I cannot explain it with my current level of networking knowledge, I seek to gain more information and knowledge so I can learn and understand and apply the principles going forward.
I wanted to sign up on a month by month basis but the minimum is 3 months. It doesn't matter because the vpn works great and does what I want it to anyway so there is no need think about cancelling it.

I chose Nottingham because it is the closest to me. I can choose any server I want in 19 countries apparently so I might have a crack at changing it somewhere completely different in Europe and see if I get hit with the same message.
