Out here in Kuwait, there is an company, Elmnet, which provides free DSL Internet to home.

The catch is that, they provide a router (SMC make) and also ask the users to install a client called Elmnet client in order to access the internet. This client connects the PC to the Internet.

The router indicator should that Internet is working, but unless you start the VPN Elment client, you cannot browse any sites.

Also we cannot access the Internet thru any smartphone, even when you get strong signals from the WiFi of the router.

Is there any means to bypass this?
