How to connect Apple TV to VPN

First you will need a VPN account with Liberty VPN and you are half way there. The issue with Apple TV is that it does not have a VPN client build in. So the connection to the VPN needs to be done outside the Apple TV. How it’s done? Simply by sharing a VPN connection from a device that is already connected to a VPN. There are 3 options you can use:

1) Share a VPN Connection in Windows:
  - Locate connection menu item and right-click on the VPN connection you have setup.
  - Select ‘Properties’ and a new window will open.
  - Then select the ‘Sharing’ tab and check of “Allow other network users to connect through this computer’s Internet connection”.
  - Below select the network connection you will be sharing to and click ‘OK’.

It is important to understand that you cannot share to the same connection you use to connect to the Internet with. For example, connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, share the VPN connection to the Ethernet connection and then connect my Apple TV to the Ethernet port. You might have two Ethernet ports or perhaps connect to the Internet via a USB dongle. Whatever your setup is, just remember to share to a network connection you are not already using.

2) Share a VPN Connection in Mac OS:
  - Open ‘System Preference’s and look for ‘Sharing’.
  - Enable ‘Internet Sharing’ and where it says “Share your connection from” select the VPN connection you have setup.
  - Where it says ‘To computers using’ select the appropriate interface (please read below).
  If you will be using Wi-Fi you might want to click ‘Wi-Fi options’ and set a password.

It is important to understand that you cannot share to the same connection you use to connect to the Internet with. For example, connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, share the VPN connection to the Ethernet connection and then connect my Apple TV to the Ethernet port. You might have two Ethernet ports or perhaps connect to the Internet via a USB dongle. Whatever your setup is, just remember to share to a network connection you are not already using.

3) Share a VPN Connection from a Router:
 
You will need to a DD-WRT router to act as a second router. In most cases you would connect your current router modem to the WAN port of the VPN router and configure it to dial the connection. Then connect your PC or consoles to the second router.

Luxury travel in the UAE – Dubai


The United Arab Emirates is a modern and dynamic country. To some it is an advanced and clean country to others a touristy "Disneyland". 

For most tourists, the UAE offers an environment that is extremely familiar. The malls are extraordinarily modern, filled with practically any product available in the rest of the world.

The most popular destination in the UAE is Dubai. Home to some of the most luxurious hotels in the world and with a constantly changing skyline, Dubai is a fast-paced desert destination with a twist. 

Where else in the world would you be able to shop, ski and dine all under the same roof? And the plans for this mega-city are ever-expanding. From theme parks to sports centers, soon Dubai will encompass everything that we love about our favorite holiday destinations within striking distance of one another. 

For all its luxury and glamour some more common services are offered with huge limitations. One such example is the internet. Once you decide to visit the UAE/Dubai then you must be prepared that your connection will be restricted and monitored.  Facebook and other social networks are blocked as well as other services including YouTube and Skype.

The safest and most efficient way to bypass such restrictions is to purchase a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection. A VPN is a secure connection that allows the user to tunnel their traffic through an encrypted tunnel. You will be able to save money when communicating with relatives from back home and access all the luxuries of the internet, the way you are use to.
