Its been three days now since the Ugandan government instituted the Social Media Tax which has got many Ugandans very angry and agitated that the basic right has been taxed and with that Facebook is following suit by filing for patent infringement accusing the Ugandan government of taxing a product that shouldn't be taxed.
Meanwhile other Ugandans have resorted to using VPN services rather than paying the $0.05 tax daily, though the government vowed to shut them down.
Apparently their some Ugandans who don't have any clue on which VPN services they can use and as our core goal, we decided to list all the possible VPN applications they can use.
Android Devices
1. Gecko VPN
2. Droid VPN
3. Proxy Master
4. Super VPN
5. Samsung Max
6. Opera Max

Some of the applications have both PC version and Android Version and best of all they can all be got both on play store and there respective websites.
As a rule of the thumb we have not included the three VPN applications that have been confirmed to run on zero balance on MTN Uganda, Airtel Uganda and Africell, also not included is the script that runs on localhost servers with zero configs.
As a word of caution those downloading and uploading files , these VPN services and applications consume a lot of internet data for connection services.
