You can use a VPN to bypass social media tax or Pay 200/= for access
Windscribe: Quite new on the scene. However, it is free for as long as you do not use more than 10GB of data per month. When you tweet about their service, you get an extra 5GB and recommending a friend earns you an extra 1GB for that month.
TunnelBear: Is a partially free VPN that allows you to use up to 500MB free of data monthly. You are expected to pay as soon as your data usage crosses that mark. However, it is a very good VPN.
Speedify: Guarantees you a secure but fast encrypted convection. In the first month of usage, you get free 4GB data usage however, subsequent months gives you up to 1GB data for free monthly. Cross that limit and you are expected to pay.
ProtoVPN: Just like the rest, it has both a paid for and free version. Its free version does not give you limits on data like the previous three do. However, the limitations come in the speed which tends to degrade as more users come on board, especially paid users.

Procedure 2: Change your browser proxy settings

Proxy settings in each and every browser direct your information to go through a specific direction set. Yes, previously social bundles used proxy VPNs to be rediverted to even stronger zones converting them into actual data bundles.

Now, you can search and copy any proxy settings you wish to set in your browser and set them in the privacy settings option on either your phone or desktop browser. We recommend installing chrome proxy apps like Hola VPN from the chrome store.
