Recently, I have had a couple of friends complain about not been able to browse on their laptops with the simple server application due to their laptops coming with windows 8.1 or higher. As a result of this, some have decided to either downgrade their custom windows software to a lower version or forget entirely about browsing with the simple server on Windows 8.1 PC.

Well look no further and wipe your tears cause www.naijaknowhow.com is here with the Calvary. The discovery of psiphon, a strong application that uses VPN, SSH and HTTP technology to grant you unrestricted access to the internet and bypass proxy while using a laptop pre-installed with the windows 8.1 version is here. With the combination of simple server, all your internet connection worries are over. It logs you on into any website regardless of the “enable cookies” error you see. That is to say, you can login to your WordPress blog  or any other page with admin access as well…sweet. From now on it’s goodbye to normal data subscription while it lasts. All you need are the following listed below.

REQUIREMENTS

• An active MTN BBlited or BBMIDID daily subscription.
• Simple server app..if you don’t have the app, download HERE.
• Psiphon app..download HERE, if you don’t have.

WALKTHROUGH

• Subscribe for any of the mtn packages above by dialing *216*7# for bblited @ #70 or sending bbmidid to21600 @ #100.
• The simple server and psiphon apps are plug and play so they don’t need an installation..just run them both.
• Configure your psiphon with the following under settings..under upstream proxy…host name: 127.0.0.1 and port: 8080. Click here for more settings on psiphon handler.
• Now configure your firefox or chrome browser under network with the IP: 127.0.0.1 and port 8080. make sure you uncheck *automatically detect settings.

…and that’s it. you are good to go.
