Question Does he need a proxy or VPN?

Hi,

I am posting this, on behalf of a friend.
He work ok rigs (the ones in the sea) and have had problems with the internet they provider, as they seem to block him looking at some sites (not porn).

He asked me would a proxy do it, but I am not sure, if he may need a VPN
So does he need a proxy or VPN?

Re: Does he need a proxy or VPN?

If they're blocking some sites it's possible they're already using a proxy.

Re: Does he need a proxy or VPN?

You may well find they block VPNs to unrecognised destinations within their rule set, so the only option is an SSL VPN.

He will be going through a Websense proxy or similar, so trying to use another proxy is a non-starter.

Their internet access, their rules sadly.
