We’ve created a podcast to dive more deeply into this issue. Click here to enjoy the conversation on how to get more freedom in your life.

For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. Fund Your Freedom Overseas will teach you many different ways you can make money ANYWHERE overseas, not just Panama. It’s easier than you think to create an income to support your lifestyle offshore and you’ll soon learn that you don’t need to get a job to do so. (Though I do provide information about getting a job at the end of the e-book).

If our life had a theme, it would consist of two words:

Please enter your username: Username: I don't know my username, help me! I haven't got an account, let me create one!

Freedom

and

Action

You can’t get the first without the second, of course, and we’ve seen it come full circle time and time again in our lives.

Little freedoms…

like creating a schedule that allows plenty of time for socializing despite our work projects.

Medium freedoms...

like the ability to commit to a 509-km trek in Turkey due to the fitness we’ve gained from daily exercise.

Life-changing freedoms…

like the decision to travel the world together since 2010.

But I don’t think we’d get the biggies without the practice and space the little ones make.

So today we’re giving you 10 easy ways to add more freedom to your life.

Because no matter what your big theme is, you’ll need a certain degree of freedom to get there.

1. Live a cash-only life

Oh sure, make it a debit card if you like, but stop with the spending on credit if you’re not paying it off every month. When you purchase something you cannot pay for, you are obligating yourself to future work to pay for it.

2. Move your body every day

It’s like a bad relationship. You take your body for granted long enough, and it’s going to revolt. You don’t want to see that first inkling of your dream and then not have enough energy or strength to enjoy it. Take the stairs, walk for 30 minutes after dinner, or take a class.

You don’t have to be gym rat, but you do have to work your heart and body if you want them to continue to work for you.

3. Get rid of the stuff you don’t need

If you’re surrounded by items you don’t use, going to events you don’t like, and maintaining relationships you’ve outgrown, you’ll never have the space in your life for the items that you will use, the events that fire you up, and relationships that feed your soul. Hanging on to what you’ve outgrown is like having a growth spurt and continuing to wear the same clothes just because you always have. Life changes, and so do your needs. Get rid of the crap that doesn’t fit anymore.

(And if you’re worried that you might need it someday, try sharing. It’s the ultimate freedom.)

4. Limit your time with toxic people

You are like the 5 people you spend the most time with. Does that make you feel good or bad? Well, only you can do something about it. You don’t have to talk to the office gossip except to get your work done. You don’t have to attend events with people you don’t like. When you choose to spend your time with toxic people, you will never meet great people. And you run the very real risk of turning into a toxic person yourself (and there is no freedom down that road).

5. Get over yourself

To enjoy freedom, you have to manage the voices in your head, the ones that invite obsessive critique and worry over every little thing. Those voices have you so focused on yourself and what could go wrong that you never get a chance to do anything right. No one else is thinking about you as much as you think they are. And even if you have an epic fall from grace in the most public of ways, we live in a 24-hour news cycle and you won’t be infamous for long. Get over yourself, and you’ll get over your limitations. And that’s where you’ll find your freedom.

6. Stay in touch

You know what freedom feels like? Hanging out with people you like. Having fun and making memories with really great people. That can’t happen if you don’t stay in touch or make time to see them. If it takes 3 months to set up a date with friends you like because of a calendar packed full of things you don’t like nearly so much, you are not on the verge of freedom. If you don’t have time to support your friends’ projects or be there when they need you, you are very far from free. And probably a little lonely, too.

7. Say what you want (and do something about it)

The secret to happiness, without a doubt, is asking for it. If you don’t feel free enough to say what you want, when you want it, and how you would like to have it, then you are going to have a much harder time making it come true. If you are waiting for someone else to make it happen, read your mind, or give you permission, you are denying yourself the freedom that comes from simply opening your mouth. If you never hear no in your life, you just aren’t asking for enough.

8. Stop managing everyone else

Is everyone else depending on you? Probably not, but it’s easy to fool yourself into thinking that’s true. People who are free expect those around them to exercise freedom as well. They don’t nag, guilt-trip, or boss people around. Their unsolicited advice remains in their heads because they have other things to do and imagine that you do, too. Stop feeding your ego and start feeding your freedom.

9. Share your talents

Want to feel free, immensely grateful for your life experience, and do the world a solid? Give some of your talents back. Mentor someone a few rungs down the ladder from you at work. Share your experience with a friend or acquaintance going through something tough you’ve already finished, like childbirth, divorce, bankruptcy, the flu, or a home renovation project. You don’t have to tell them what to do (see #8), but just letting them know you have experience and can answer questions will help. And when you make life better for other people, you make the whole world just a little bit more free. Call it selfish selflessness if you want, but it works.

10. Try something new every week

New is exhilarating, whether it’s a different haircut, taking the scenic route home from work, or cooking a new recipe. Maybe it’s inviting a new acquaintance out for coffee or lunch, or reading a book about a subject you know nothing about (or think you disagree with entirely). New is a workout for your brain, your heart, and your soul. New experiences are the waters in the fountain of youth, and you’ll feel the exhilaration of freedom every time you take a dip. So do it…frequently.

So there you have it, 10 ways to add more freedom into your life TODAY. You don’t need a new job, a passport, or a winning lottery ticket. All you have to do is decide you want more freedom in your life and then take the action to make it happen.

Hey! Have you checked out the podcast yet? Every Tuesday is an episode of life-changing goodness in 20 minutes or less (well, except that one time…and that’s when we talked about Justin Beiber and quitting your job with Pam Slim, so it’s okay). Click here to listen or subscribe.

Please find the YF client version that suits yourrequirements most from the table below. If you arean unexperienced user or would just like to getgoing as quickly as possible, then use one of theinstaller versions, preferrably the full installer.

Note: If your admin has blocked download of.exe files, then modify the link to end in.txt instead.

You should not use older client versions unless you suspect that something has changed for the worse with a new client release and you would like to try a previous version to determine if it's true. Old client versions can be found here.

The latest version compatible with Java 1.4 and Java 5 is 20080815-01. We strongly recommend that you only use this version if you must use an obsolete Java installation.

In order to unleash the full functionality of the Your Freedom client, OpenVPN needs to be installed on your computer as well. You do not need to configure it (which is a bit obscure), you only need to install it with default options (which is simple).

Download OpenVPN from the OpenVPN download page.

Note: You must use at least version 2.1 of OpenVPN community version. Use the latest stable version.

If you don't want to (or can't) use OpenVPN mode and your application/game does not support connecting through a web or SOCKS proxy, you need a 'socksifier'. A 'socksisier' sits in the middle between your application/game and the network and makes the application/game believe that is connecting normally while it is actually connecting through a proxy (the Your Freedom client in this case). There are several available, some for free, some for a donation, some for a more or less reasonable license fee, and some may work better for your application than others. The choice is yours. The list below is our choice of the available offerings. Some more details and configuration information can be found in our SOCKS howto.

• WideCap
  WideCap is a free socksifier that integrates with the system network stack and does not rely on pre-loading a library like some other socksifiers. It works with many games and applications that cannot be used with socksifiers like SocksCap and FreeCap. We know it works well with Steam powered games.

• FreeCap

  FreeCap is, as the name suggests, freeware. The author asks for a small donation if you like it. Download FreeCap from the author's download page. We like this best because it's free and easy to use, and it's good enough for many (but not all) applications.

• SocksCap

  SocksCap used to be distributed for free (non-commercial use) by Permeo but is no longer available from their web page. There are loads of copies on the Internet though, just google for 'sc32r240.exe download'. The latest release is 2.40.

• ProxyCap

  ProxyCap is a highly sophisticated (and somewhat difficult to use) socksifier. It comes with a 30 day free trial period. A license costs USD 30. Download it from the PROXYLABS home page.

• Proxifier

  Proxifier is also a very clever piece of software. Testing for 31 days is free, a license costs USD 40. Plus it's also available for Mac OS X. Check it out on the Proxifier home page.

• SuperSocks5Cap
• Hummingbird Socks

  The Hummingbird suite contains a socksifier as well. It can be found on the Hummingbird web site.

• Dante

  Dante is the de-facto standard in the Unix/Linux world. It's free. Download it from Inferno Nettverk's web site or just install it as part of your distribution (it's probably called 'dante-client').

• tsocks

  tsocks is another Unix/Linux world socksification tool, also free. It can be found on Sourceforge. There is a Mac OS X version as well.

We require that you maintain your PC in a safe state, free of viruses, worms and other malware, and ensure that it is not part of a bot net. If you have never worried about this before you should now (especially if you run Windows), and click this link in Internet Explorer: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm (it won't work in any other browser). Or go the whole hog and install a security suite. Here are some examples that are free of charge:

• Avira Antivir (free for personal use)
• avast! home edition (free for home use)
• Microsoft Security Essentials (currently in beta)

This list is by no means comprehensive. We haven't got a preference what you use as long as you use something suitable. We recommend the ones above solely because we believe they are suitable and they are free.

Fixed a bug that would break local authentication for both SOCKS and HTTP proxy port. For HTTP proxy port, the YF client incorrectly shut down the connection if no authentication was received in the first request; this is fixed. However, that wasn't the main issue. The main problem is a bug in the java standard library that we have reported to Oracle years ago, and it is still not fixed. We should have known!
