How It Works

What is a UKSofa box?

A UKSofa Box is a router box, pre-programmed to route your devices DIRECT to a UK Internet account located at our UK-based ISP (Internet Service Provider).

When at your overseas location, you first connect your UKSofa box to the local Broadband, simply by plugging it into your existing (local) internet router.

When you then connect any device (by WiFi or cable) to the UKSofa Box you are automatically routed through to the new internet account that we’ve opened in your own name at our UK-based ISP.  This routing then allows you to browse the internet just as you would if you were on your own sofa in the UK. 

NOT a VPN

UKSofa is not a VPN; it’s best described as a WiFi extender or Access Point that links your devices to your new internet account at our UK-based ISP.

  • Multiple users can connect at any time and for no extra fee.
  • Each UKSofa has a UNIQUE fixed UK IP address that you’ll keep for your UKSofa’s life; allowing you to be recognised and welcomed by the sites you re-visit.
  • As a UK registered internet service account holder, continuous connectivity is assured.

Exceptional Service

Our data tunnel technology allows us to provide remote support. This includes 24/7 connectivity monitoring. If your UKSofa experiences an unexpected disconnection, we’ll know about it and often fix problems before you’ve even known there was an issue.

Rules of Use

Users can be Individuals or Businesses

Use is subject to the following restriction:

A UKSofa Box, when connected to your account with our UK-based ISP, gives you unrestricted UK Internet access. If you access sites that require membership, or some other form of pre-access authorisation, you remain responsible for arranging such access rights. Our responsibility is to link you to the UK internet account we provide in your name. Connectivity can never be guaranteed, as we often have limited control over global data links, yet we always monitor your UKSofa Box’s connectivity (to the UK ISP) on a continuous 24/7 basis, thus minimising any downtime.

 

Your billing address will be the delivery address you provide on your order request yet you may elect to provide us with a separate UK billing address.

 

Bills will be sent by e-mail to the e-mail address you shall provide.

 

UKSofa works across the EU, in Africa, America and many other countries, yet may not work in countries (such as Russia or China) where local regulations restrict or prohibit internet connectivity.
