If you want to disguise yourself as an American on the Internet, for example, to access an Internet resource available only in the United States, the VPN service in this article will help you.

All you need is to download a small program to your device, select the USA in its settings and turn on the VPN-mode. Then she will do everything for you, and you will get access to the American sites blocked in your country.

We'll show you how to do this using the Betternet VPN service as an example. It's very simple, supports US IPs, is cross-platform, and runs in a browser for free. Therefore, Betternet is suitable for most people who want to disguise themselves as an Internet user from the United States.

To use Betternet on a computer, the easiest way is to download a special browser extension. There are versions for Firefox and Google Chrome. When the plugin is installed, click on its icon and select United States under Select Location. Then click Connect. The plugin will disguise your IP as an American one until you disconnect it by clicking Disconnect.

This is how easy it is to access the Pandora internet radio site, which is officially only available in the US, using the plugin:

Access closed.

Access is open.

If the browser option does not suit you, you can use Betternet on your computer via the desktop client. It can be downloaded and installed on Windows or macOS from the project's official website.

Betternet also works on Android and iOS devices. The principle on these platforms is almost the same: install the app, select the US, and activate the VPN. But to use US IP addresses on a mobile device, you need to subscribe to a paid subscription. However, no surprise, you will hardly find a good and completely free VPN service.
