Introduction
Thanks for purchasing this report. This report will help you to connect to the
internet using the zain network as a medium for free.

However, because this stuff is free, it might stop working any time and then
there might be other settings that would work but for now, you can use it till it
stops working.

However, you must now that the connection will be terminating every 60
minutes and you can re-connect back. You are also going to be using the IP
from France.

I have detailed how to go about it step by step in this guide but note that you
will have to download 3 software to make it work.

Because of this, you will need to look for a cybercafé with high speed.

The first software is about 11MB and the second one is about 36MB and the
third is around 5MB. Without them, there is nothing you can do with this
manual.

So, let’s start with the requirements.

3
Requirements
In order to use this free connection, you will need to get a GPRS enabled phone,
a new Zain SIM card and a USB cable to connect your phone to the computer.

The Phone

The phone should preferably be nokia because that is what I will use in
explaining in this report. The Nokia types that would work are Nokia 3110c or
Nokia 6230 (price range is between N12,500 – N16,000). Any of the N series
will also work fine with it.

SIM card.

Due to the constant upgrading of sim cards, you will need to get the latest ZAIN
sim card to use for this connection. I believe it is around N300 as at the time of
compiling this report.

USB Cable

This one too is very important unless your phone and computer has blue tooth
that they can use to connect.

If the phone you want to use does not come with a USB cable, simply take it to
the market to get a good USB cable that would work fine with it. The USB
cables are definitely not worth more than N500.

Installation starts here

The first thing you have to do is to go to www.your-freedom.net to open an


account. Opening an account is free and I have some pictures here to show you
how to go about it.

The page at your-freedom.net looks like the one below. On the upper right, you
will see a link that says “First visit? Click here to register”

4
After clicking on the link that says Click here to register, a page will come up
which you have to fill so that you can open a free account with them. See it
below:

5
Once you click on submit, a page will come up that you should check your
email to confirm your registration.

So, just go straight to your email and you will see an email from them like the
one below.

When you open it, you will see a link that you have to click on. Click on it and
a page will open showing that you can now log into your account.

You will now have to download the software that Your-freedom.net gives so
that you can use it for the connection.

6
To get the download link, login to your account with the username and
password that you used in registering and then click on the link on the upper
side that says “downloads” like in the picture below:

Once you click on the link, a page will come up and you will see a table in it
like the one below, just go to the second role and look for the link under
“Download servers” that is titled Mirror (FR). Right click on it and download it.

The server is like 11MB and it will take some time to download.

When you have downloaded it, install it on your computer by right clicking on
it, select open and then click on NEXT 6 times and the program will install.

7
You will now have to open the your-freedom software that you have installed
on your system by double clicking on the icon on your desktop. The picture
above shows how the icon will look like.

Once you open it, you will see the picture below:

Firstly, click on configure, the one I circled in the diagram above. When you do
so, another table will come up. Under the TAB that says Internet connection,
fill in the following details like the one below:

Initial server - ems11.your-freedom.de Don’t add https like I did in the picture
below.
Port – 443
Protocol – Choose https

Tick the ones I ticked like in the picture below:

Minimum buffer size: 1500


Initial post size: 10000000
Minimum post size : 20000
FTP mode – Choose both

8
After that, click on proxy settings like in the picture below and enter the
following details:

Proxy address: 172.18.254.5


Proxy port : 8080
Proxy type: Choose HTTP/HTTPS
Proxy authentication: Choose ANY or NONE

9
After that, click on account information and put your username and password
there like in the picture below, then click on SAVE and EXIT:

When you do that, it will return you back to the table you were before where
you clicked on configure.

On getting there, click on the ports tab like in the picture below and enter the
following info:

Check Socks 4/5 and Web proxy.


Under the first port, enter 1080 and in the second port, enter 8080.

Next, click on Messages and change Minimum level to INFO.

10
When you have done all, click on the STATUS tab and then click on the button
that says “Start connection” like the one below:

NOTE – It won’t connect now because there is no internet connection on your


computer yet.

How to Connect Your Phone To The Internet
The next thing you have to do is to connect your phone to the internet.

Firstly, get your SIM card configured by calling the ZAIN customer service at
113. That should be after you have gotten your Nokia phone anyway.

The next thing you should do is to download the Nokia PC suite for your phone
from the Nokia site at www.nokia.com

The PC suite is like 30+ MB and it will take some time to download.

Once you have downloaded it, install it on the system you want to use for the
connection (the one you have already installed your-freedom on)

The installation is easy. Just right click it and open it. Click on all the next you
see and it will install.

Once the installation is complete, use the USB cable you bought for your phone
to connect your phone to your computer (either laptop or desktop)

The phone will ask you to choose a mode, choose nokia mode and click Ok. By
the time you look at the taskbar of your computer, you will see the computer
connecting with your phone. That is done, you will see Nokia 3110c connected
via USB (If you are using Noia 3110c)

With that done, now go and open the Nokia PC suite that you installed.
When it opens, it will look like the one in the picture below:

12
Now, click on the “connect to the internet icon” (It is the one I circled in red in
the picture above)

You will see another box open where the phone will try to make a connection.
As at this time, it can’t get connected because of the settings.

Click on the settings Icon (In form of a spanner) and you will see this next
diagram come up where you will choose your type of phone (which is Nokia
3110C in this case)

13
After selecting the modem, click on next which is the arrow circled in red above
and the next page will come up where you will be asked to select your network
provider.

Choose the configure the connection manually option and click on next like in
the picture below:

14
On the next page like below, you will now enter these settings:

Access point: wap.ng.zain.com


Username : wap
Password : wap

15
You can now click on finish and click on the connect button.

If you have configured your SIM card, you will see that the PC suite will show
you connected.

How To Configure Mozilla Browser

You can now start browsing right now but we will have to configure the
browser (Mozilla) mozilla is the best browser you can use for this connection
but it won’t browse until you make the necessary configurations.

Download the Mozilla browser on your computer from their website at


www.mozilla.com and install it. You can also get it from the people who sell
software in case you do not want to download it.

Once you have installed it, you should now open it.

16
Go to tools and select options on the drop down menu the way you see it in the
picture below:

After clicking on options, a box will come up. On that dialogue box, select the
advanced tab like in the picture below and click on network:

After clicking on network, you will see the page below. You will now click
settings in front of “Configure how firefox connects to the internet”

17
After clicking on settings, you will see another box come up. On that next box,
do the following:

a. Choose the option that says “manual Proxy Configuration.


b. Now enter the following in the areas listed like in the picture below;

HTTP Proxy – 127.0.0.1 PORT - 8080


SSL Proxy – 127.0.0.1 PORT - 8080
FTP Proxy - 127.0.0.1 PORT - 8080
SOCKS Host - 127.0.0.1 PORT – 1080

After that, click on OK and that is all for Mozilla.

You can now start browsing with your free zain connection.

To do so, open your-freedom on your computer and select the start connection
tab once your phone and the computer is connected.

Then, launch your Mozilla browser and continue your work.

How to Use Messengers


In case you want to use messengers like Yahoo, MSN or Google messengers,
you will have to configure them. To do , simply go and get the required settings
at the your-freedom website.

18
The page you will go is below Click on DOCS and FAQS at the top and click
on Instant messaging by the left hand side and you will see the different
configuration illustrations for the different messengers.

This is where I rest my case.

Like is said, the free browsing stuff might stop anytime. When it stops, don’t
worry, just look out for the next one or better still, pay good money for
something better.

Thanks for reading.
