Hello

I'm a UK national who is currently on an extended trip in USA. My Spread Betting broker does not allow access from USA ip addresses. Is there a way I can get around this? I have seen some sites selling UK based Proxy services which claim to do this.

Any help much appreciated.

You could setup a VPS in the UK and login from the VPS browser

You could also run a VPN connection on your laptop and use a vpn connection with a UK IP. I would suggest StrongVPN.com they are reliable with decent pricing and fast servers.

I have set up a VPN with StringVPN as advised. Cost is $55 per year. Works perfectly. Thanks.

They can also steal your data (passwords etc.) free of charge too.

Many brokers offer a free VPN to run Metatrader so ask yours if they do. FXCM and a few others have offered me free ones recently. It seems to be quite a standard offering.

I didn't find anything meaningful on Google when I looked. Maybe I should of tried harder rather than heading straight over to FF. Anyway $55 per year is neither here nor there.
