I have a VPN service that works on my iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook that usually gets around censorship like that. I've used it in Canada, the UK, and Alaska's arctic cirlce (might as well be a different country).

For example, I was sitting in a sports bar, and wanted to look up 2 beers on their menu and was shocked to find their wifi blocked alcohol. Activated the VPN and instantly I'm reading what beeradvocate has to say about the 2 beers in question.

If you don't mind can you tell what VPN service you recommend?

I'm not sure Spain has anything to do with it. Drudge has been redirecting me to some bullshit site all day as if someone is fucking with it.

Disable Javascript for Drudge.

If that doesn't resolve it - put an "i" in front of the URL:

http://www.idrudgereport.com/

Loads a basic page without all the hoopla, but you can at least get there and navigate.

Any reason why you wouldn't just leave the VPN on all the time?

It's on all the time when on my computers because it autoloads. I have to manually turn on for the iphone and iPad. Don't need vpn when browsing on cellular so I usually turn it on when joining a 3rd party wifi. I don't care if anyone snoops on a BeerAdvocate review so it's hit or miss turning it on.
