    Access sites available only in certain region?


    What is the best way to access sites available only in certain region? Proxy or VPN or something else?

    I had a look at your proxy. Two questions.
    1. Is it safe
    2. Is there a noticable performance impact.
    Thanks for the answer.

    I can tell you that there is a performance impact when using a proxy. Hidemyass seems to be safe but using proxy's in general is a pain.

    So do proxies have more performance impact compared to VPNs?

    You can also use Tor, but it'l be slower.
