Encrypting my internet traffic

[Digi]

Due to recent changes in the legislation in my country, "illegal" gambling sites will be blocked (DNS). This is easy to pass but I would like to encrypt my internet traffic so that my ISP doesn't see that I'm still visiting the "illegal" gambling websites.

A VPN could do the trick, the only provider I found with an IP from my country is VPN4ALL, anyone heard of it?
But I don't really trust VPNs ( the provider could easily see the passwords I'm typing).

Does anyone know another way?

Thanks in advance,

That's not France is it your country? I was just reading yesterday how France are due to start blocking access to non- ARJEL regulated gaming sites soon:

Legal news | France blocking IPs

Re encrypting your traffic, can't offer any help unfortunately, sounds like you are on the right track (would just have said look at VPNs but don't know the ins and outs of intimately / have never used one personally - that said, not sure that's true about the provider being able to see the traffic if it's encrypted?).

Hopefully someone else will know more... there is TOR for onion proxying or w/e it's called, something else to look into (more hassle / possibly less secure than a VPN though I think, again no expert by any stretch).

TOR doesn't give a fixed ip address from the same country.

Atm I'm only using sites that encrypts the connection between me and them. Most use 128/256 bit encryption but coral and most US books don't...
I don't think the government/ISP could see what I'm doing if the connection is encrypted but some info could be send in clear.

The only way I see is using a VPN but the traffic to/from gambling sites would still pass through my country (I can't use servers located outside of my country to connect to gambling sites, most sites wouldn't like it/allow it.

Anyone from IT could help me?

ps: What if I use a dongle to connect to the internet, is 3G encrypted?

You can use Tor to do what you want, or at least try it.

Find an exit node from the country you want to appear from here (long list): TorStatus - Tor Network Status

Then add the node name to the Tor config like this:

ExitNodes nodename
StrictExitNodes 1

Edit: Just found easier way.. Instead of looking up node name just use country code between { and } like this:
ExitNodes {us}
