USB Broadband US IP from Canada

epimetheus039 · #1 12-01-2013

Well, basically I have been reading about dongle modems (USB Broadband) and thought if I could buy myself an international data plan with USB modem and use it to change my IP that will be US based. I have contacted few mobile operators such as T-mobile, Sprint, Verizon but was able only to reach one of them, which was Sprint and they told me that I need to purchase Netgear Zing mobile Hotspot and data plans are ridiculously expensive ( 25 mb/ 55 usd, 325mb/ 125 use per month ). Is there an option for me to have like a hotspot somewhere in US and be charged as I am located in US. I live very close to the border, like 1 hour away from Seattle, WA. Or could you guys suggest any other options beside VPN. Also I have read something like purchasing VPS and then creating VPN on that server. Could anyone elaborate this for me in more thorough details ? Any help will be appreciated !

Welcome to the forums.

If you are located close to the border, you MIGHT be able to pick up some signal from USA.

If not...sadly...you do need VPS (VPN is kind of dangerous due to overuse and abuse).

If you have patience, you can do what I do for my US IP and use...dial-up /gulp

Hello.

And how many accounts do you manage to run like that ? just curious. Well, I have found some private VPN for about 5 bucks each, I may give it a try. Also I have been using one VPN service for a month on 10 of my accounts and so far I havent had any issues. It has Static IP. What about tethering ? Does it pick up local IPs only ? Thanks for any information

I dont use VPS or VPN for my US accounts - I use dial-up....I have 30+ US accounts which I rotate around so...yeah, can be very tedious
