NordVPN Offers Access to Morocco’s VoIP Services as Gaming Sites Get Blocked in the Country

May 24, 2016. Maroc Telecom, one of the largest Internet service providers in
Morocco, has blocked access to Steam and many online games
last week. Maroc Telecom is seen as tightening its existing ban on VoIP (voice
over IP) traffic.

Last January, Morocco’s largest ISPs
– including Maroc Telecom – followed to orders from the country’s
telecommunications regulatory agency to block some free VoIP services, such as
Skype and WhatsApp, saying they were operating without the proper licenses.

Last week Maroc Telecom added other
free online VoIP services to the “banned” list, including games
like Dota 2 and Paladins.

VPN, which stands for Virtual
Private Network, links user’s computer to a server in a country of their choice
via encrypted tunnel – for example, a person can appear to be in the U.S.,
while they actually are in Morocco, and vice versa, simply by choosing a
different VPN server location. A VPN service like NordVPN would
allow you to substitute your current IP address with the IP address of Sweden,
for example, so you can connect to any gaming site in Morocco as if you were in
the U.S. or any country of your choice.

A VPN encrypts your data through a
secure tunnel before accessing the Internet – this protects any sensitive
information about your location by hiding your IP address.

NordVPN does not keep any logs and
uses very powerful encryption to route its users’ online data.  This
way users can protect themselves from data tracking or cyber attacks and
maintain their anonymity on the internet whether they’re using a PC, laptop,
smartphone, tablet, gaming consoles or any other device that requires an
internet connection.
