Can I use PSMail’s VPN to access the Internet via my home country?

PSVPN’s default configuration provides Internet access via either Canada or the US (depending on several factors). It is possible, however, to configure your VPN to terminate to a PSMail server in a specific country every time you connect. Currently, this can be done for three countries: the US, UK, and Canada. (NOTE: Our servers on the European mainland and in Asia are still under beta testing. We can make these available to users who are intersted in testing them early. Just write us through our contact page if you are interested.)

To change your settings, first make sure that you are disconnected from the VPN. Then right click on your PSVPN icon and click Edit Configuration. (NOTE: MAC users will need to click Details and then Edit configuration; Vista and Windows 7 users should choose sslvpn-vista and then Edit Configuration.) Your computer may ask you to unprotect your configuration file in order to make changes; do so as prompted. You should then see a notepad or similar software with lines of information. Find the line that says: “remote vpn-ssl.psmail.net 443”.

(For MAC users that have PSVPN version of Tunnelblick, there is a script that you can download and use to update your configurations click here to download)

 

For the UK link, change it to: “remote vpn-ssl-uk.psmail.net 443”

For the US link, change it to: “remote vpn-ssl-us.psmail.net 443”

 

 

For the Asia Pacific (Singapore) link, change it to: “remote vpn-ssl-ap.psmail.net 443” *

For the Canada link, change this to: “remote vpn-ssl-ca.psmail.net 443” *

*: currently disabled due to lack of usage

Once you have made your changes click File and then Exit. When you are asked if you would like to save the file, click Yes.

You’re done!
