I am located in Turkey. The VPN service provider is http://www.strongvpn.com and they have servers all over the world. I am using their server located in New York. Once I establish the SSL VPN tunnel, the NY server effectively becomes my internet gateway. I need to do this to get around websites that impose geographical restrictions on their service (example, netflix.com, pandora.com). With the tunnel, I look like I am located in NY and the website has no way of knowing that I am in Turkey. Regarding IP address, do you mean the USA IP address I receive from the VPN service provider or my ISP assigned static IP? Timur
