If you're trying to access social media from Turkey, it's all been blocked after another "incident".

Over the past few months the government has been steadily blocking all VPNs and other methods used to bypass their attempts to stifle free speech.

The latest roll out has restricted access to the TOR network, although folks are working on a fix to keep access open.

You could try one of the commercial VPNs available, Private Internet Access still works and is pretty cheap - just Google it.

Alan is also correct, there has been further restrictions imposed due to terrorist incidents.

I had no problems with ZenMate since yesterday. Using now DotVpn and have no problems. I sent a message to ZenMate Support this morning. Let's see what they will say....

Anyone tried using Opera browser in "turbo mode" recently?  It's almost like a built-in VPN with a constantly changing IP.

I did make a payment well over a year ago for Zenmate on my laptop that died - I never added my ipad to my devices to use ZenMate but after that Zenmate on the ipad worked fine.

I haven't made a payment since so not really sure what's going on. All I know is that I can still get iplayer and it all works just fine.

Mine and Kaz's zenmate stopped yesterday, now using Hoxx, which so far is still working.

We might experience the same problem Diverbaz 1.

I tried also Firefox and have the same ZenMate problem.

My wife's notebook also failed using ZenMate about the same time , about 5-6 pm yesterday I think.


Now both of us are using DotVpn.
