Leading freemium VPN service provider proXPN has just announced a 100% increase in the available bandwidth at its popular New York VPN data center.

Demand has grown substantially in the past 3 months for secure VPN connections to New York City, primarily from proXPN's rapidly expanding base of Canadian VPN users. Canadian proXPN users typically prefer connecting to the New York City data center because of its close proximity to Canada as well as receiving a USA IP address once connected.

"I rely on an American IP for a lot of the sites I visit," stated Mr. Kurt Berrington, a long time proXPN user. "I've tried the other servers in the US but New York consistently gives me the best speed." Many Canadians rely on attaining an American IP address in order to access content they ordinarily wouldn't be able to reach.

The way proXPN's servers work is to provide the user with an IP address in the same region as the datacenter. In the case of the proXPN New York City data center, whether a user is physically located in Canada, Germany, Tibet, or anywhere else the websites they visit will always see them as being located in New York City.

Due to the substantial increase in demand for VPN connections to New York City, proXPN has doubled the bandwidth capacity of its data center. Users will be able to enjoy more responsive web browsing, faster file transfers, and less buffering while watching streaming video.

Plans have already been announced for another upgrade in the available bandwidth at proXPN's New York City data center in early Q2 2013.
