A VPN is a Virtual Private Network where all traffic to and from your system is encrypted. There's a single secure server through which you connect to the Internet and all the data between the two of you is private.
ISPs are unable to filter or monitor this traffic both because of its encryption and because it doesn't behave like regular Internet traffic. Even applications which address a port can't be detected since it's only the main server's port on which the data is received. So a VPN is the ultimate solution for using VoIP if you want to bypass a ban.
The problem is that most VPNs cost a small monthly fee - starting at $5. Even this amount may be out of the budget of individual people - especially those in the third world.
Using a Proxy Server
A proxy server allows you to receive VoIP calls using a third party that isn't blocked by your ISP. You can use various SIP out ports for transmitting data. This information needs to be set in your SIP configuration utility that allows you to make your VoIP calls and enjoy great features such as an HD voice service!
Of course, for businesses using a PBX VoIP phone system, the last method won't really work. A VPN is a great idea provided the server to which you're connecting is able to use VoIP - it might need to be in a separate country for that purpose."
