bdmowers Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 I need to check something on a US website with a computer with a US IP address. Will someone let me use their computer for a couple of minutes? I can explain better by PM'ing you. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pogo Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 Check out Tunnelbear.com It will allow you enough free time on a VPN connection. Good site. I recommend it. Been using it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdmowers Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Any idea whether I could see my social security page on the US SSA site with either of these? Now, it's blocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joco Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Odd, because you should be able to see your SS page with a Mexican IP address but in the last few days I have been getting 403 codes on some sites. Many Mexican internet vendor IP addresses have been banned from US sites. I imagine it is because of the latest virus threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

border crosser Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I just checked my account with SS yesterday on my Mexican computer with Telmex Infinitum. No problem whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American Embassy has told me that you cannot access the SSA page with a non-US IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrm30655 Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Try clearing your cookies. I had a site that wouldn't let me in one computer but would on my second computer. Cleared the cookies and it went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solfeggio Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 The American Embassy has told me that you cannot access the SSA page with a non-US IP. I can get in but it won't let me access my information. I used to be able to access it, but no longer. I have assumed it had something to do with a non-US IP.

Ginger Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 I registered earlier & just signed back in with no problem. Are you sure you put in the right user name or password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have assumed it had something to do with a non-US IP. Right, this what I experience: I can get into the SSA site, but when I enter my "login" information, the site will no longer show me my individual page with my work history and SSA future benefits. This happened when we moved down to Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PULELEHUA Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 If you registered a few years ago, you may have to re-register. I first registered 4 or 5 years ago and then about a year ago, I had to re-register to gain access. During the first registration, had to wait for a computer generated password to be sent to me by US mail. The re-registration was streamlined and did not require waiting for something to be sent to me. I have accessed the SSA info using the Telmex ISP as well as using HMA and Strong vpns.

callejera Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 I logged into my account just fine today with Mexican ISP, no problems getting all the way in with my user i.d. and password. I did have to change the password though, I got a message that you are supposed to change it every six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooMuchCoffee Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 Go to http://www.publicproxyservers.com/proxy/list_rating1.html, click on a US proxy server. Then when the next page appears, enter the url you want to go to in the box and hit "Go". You will now appear as if you were in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
