Hi Guys,
I am looking for a VPS with US IP for web surfing, watching and downloading movies
Requirements:
Fast Internet
No Lagging, i was using kvm before but there was so much lag, can't open more than 1 tab in IE, so i had to ask for refund
Budget = i dnt care about HD, RAM, Cores, just looking for VPS which runs smoothly without lag and i can browse websites and watch movies with fast internet, so, assuming, 1-5$ monthly
Thanks

and is it safe, if i install a vpn on my pc, and surf sites with US IP, can they find out that i am using a vpn?
What country do you live in?
i can't access offers on few sites, which are only available for US

Then follow this guide so can tunnel with putty..

Lag free surfing/streaming!
if i am getting US IP with VPS, then why shld i use SSH tunnel to hide IP on VPS?
if i take a VPS, how much RAM do u think wld be enough for surfing and streaming?
and which OS shld i go for? and will it be lag free?
Forget the title.. just folow the guide it allows you to tunnel with putty without having to install a VPN on you VPS, you then can use your local web browser for surfing or watching hulu, you can also get a UK IP and watch iplayer etc..
This will give you a better experience than RDP'ing to your windows server..

10 mbits is enough for streaming?
and which shld i go for (Ubuntu or Centos)?
i hv used only windows and hvnt used other OS, for windows, we have to install java, flash player, .net framework etc, to view advanced websites...is it same for these OS as well?
If you are tunneling with putty then even a 32MB VPS is fine.. it will be lag free for sure and go for Debian..
ok taking 2$ /m plan from vpscheap.net, i will go for Debian and then follow the putty guide...
last few questions:
10 mbit/s wld be enough for streaming?
i want to have only 1 US IP, which i want to use daily, because if i visit the sites with different IPS or with hidden IP, then my account will be banned, so, tunneling with putty, is it safe and i will be with same ip everyday?
Depends on the content you're streaming and your connection speed. Generally, it should be enough, if you can get the full 10 Mbps.
You will have a static IP when you buy a VPS, so if you tunnel through your VPS, your IP will not change.
i hv used only windows and hvnt used other OS, for windows, we have to install java, flash player, .net framework etc, to view advanced websites...is it same for debian as well?
If you're just setting up a proxy/VPN, no.
No. You only install openvpn on your VPS and that's all you need.
If you follow the guide you don't need to install anything on your VPS, it's ready to go since you will be using the web browser from your computer, just setup putty and your local web browser for proxy and you're good to go.. just give it a try first you will see that it works quite well..
installed debian-6.0-x86_64 on it...
installed Putty on my PC and following the guide which u hv given me...
i have few questions regarding putty:
Host Name (or IP address): i am putting my VPS IP here, is that right?
After doing all settings, which i click OPEN on putty, a new window opens and its asking for username and pw? which user and pw is that?
Yes VPS IP in hostname/IP field.
User: root
Password: your VPS password included in your welcome email from your host
There's 1 more problem:
when a new windows opens after clicking open in putty, i am able to write username but not able to write password, its not showing any characters on the screen, only i can do is clicking enter and it says access denied
Passwords do not show up on putty, when you type it. It's there but doesn't show up so make sure you enter it right or paste it and hit enter
THat's what SSH does. Just type your password in and press enter.
donno whats gettin wrong
i dnt know what to do now?
putty is not working for me, giving Access Denied
how can i use this VPS for surfing and streaming?
