You don’t have to travel 6,000 miles to log into Bulgarian commercial and entertainment sites like BNT1 and BNT2. Also, the Bulgarian torrent website Zamunda.net is one of the world’s largest torrent websites. All you need is to get a Bulgarian VPN to access local Bulgarian services.
On the other hand, there are internal data privacy, freedom of the press, and censorship issues that the country is working out as it transitions from the old totalitarian regime to the EU standards of freedom and privacy protection. It is also illegal in Bulgaria to download torrented files of copyrighted material. While enforcement is somewhat lax, it is best to use a VPN server while web browsing and Bulgaria.
How a VPN works
When you log on to a VPN in Bulgaria, you add an encrypted layer to your internet connection. Your location is masked from outside observers and your connection to the net is encrypted. So long as you connect to a website with an address that begins with “HTTPS,” your connection and the data stream between you and that connection remains private.
Why use a VPN?
Even if you never get within a “seleska milya” (country mile) of Bulgaria, there are advantages of routing your internet connection to a VPN server outside the country. Those advantages are all about privacy and security, as well as bypassing geo-blocking.
