Greece is well known for its vacation spots, as well as its history, but you might not think that Greek has a unique internet zone that you can gain access to with a Greek IP address. The fact is that all countries have some websites that are banned, some that are slow, but more importantly some that are ONLY available from within the country. If you've found that you need a Greek IP address for some online activity, you can get it, no matter which country you're currently located in.

To change your IP address, you can use a proxy or a VPN, but I recommend VPN services for most people. Proxies, though they can change your IP, many times still reveal your local IP address to web servers. This can make your Greek IP useless at times, because websites and people can see that it's a fake Greek IP. VPNs also provide better encryption, privacy, and reliability of connection/service.

To use a VPN on your phone and computer, you don't need any hardware. this is very useful because if you're using an Android phone or Tablet, or iPhone/iPad, you just download the VPN app and VPN login credentials to log in. You can access Greek websites on the go. For your laptop or computer it's possible to get a VPN router, which is hardware that will change the IP of all devices over an internet connection, but it's much faster and more convenient to just download the VPN software directly to your computer. You can stream, surf, download, game, chat, and use VoIP directly from your Mac, Windows, or Linux operating system with a Greek IP address.

The only think I would recommend an actual VPN router for would be for changing the IP of a gaming console like PS3 or Xbox 360, or internet TVs like Roku or Apple TV. These devices don't come with VPN clients, which means you can't install a VPN on them directly. Hooking up your VPN installed laptop to these devices is another option that requires no hardware.

Most VPN services will allow you to switch between your Greek IP address and other VPN servers on the network. This will most likely include US and UK servers, as well as some European and Asian servers as well. Each VPN service will vary in price and features, and not all have VPN servers in Greece.
