ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

What VPN's work best in Costa Rica??

I have a question for YOU -

Are any of you using a VPN ("Virtual Private Network" for those of you that aren't real technically savvy like me!!  Some people use it if they're living abroad and can't get many of the sites for tv shows/movies we can't get in Costa Rica [ahhhh - the "copyright laws" here [or lack thereof which gets us blocked even from ABC, CBS+.  Some use it to hide their IP address for whatever reason])
  
Mae shared this site about Questions out VPN's
HideMyAss.com/vpn/faq

If so, which one? 

How DO you like it?

What do you NOT like about it? 

How does it work especially with the tv shows and movies we can't get in Costa Rica?


I'm trying to find the best VPN type service(S) for the Costa Rica area (especially for movies/tv) so I can share the findings here.

Please "Comment" below - and/or email me at LivingLifeInCostaRica@gmail.com


THANX for your imput!  It will help many!!
