Don’t Trust the VPN Facebook Wants You to Use
This week, reports have percolated that Facebook is testing a new menu item, called "Protect," in its iOS app. The feature sports a blue shield icon, and tapping it redirects you to the App Store listing for Facebook-owned VPN app Onavo Protect. But while Onavo does claim to offer some tools that make the web safer, in practice it falls far short of the privacy protections that VPN users reasonably expect. Onavo itself isn't new; Facebook acquired it in 2013, and has nudged users to it through the Protect prompt on Android since 2016. Like all VPNs, it's a private platform that acts as a portal to connect you to the larger internet, tunneling your data through an encrypted path to reduce the risk of eavesdropping. Onavo's Android VPN touts this type of data protection, but also offers what it calls a second VPN for keeping track of which apps are using the most data. The iOS version of the VPN focuses more on browsing protections, warning users when they visit sites that might be … [Read more...] about Don’t Trust the VPN Facebook Wants You to Use
The best VPN apps for iPhone and iOS for 2018

The number … [Read more...] about The best VPN apps for iPhone and iOS for 2018
The best VPN for DD-WRT routers in 2018
DD-WRT has been delighting many folks ever since it first emerged in 2005. The Linux-based open source firmware for routers is the weapon of choice for people who want to get more out of their hardware in terms of performance and versatility than their stock firmware will allow. Built with not-quite-so-technical users in mind, DD-WRT supports a wide range of devices, making it an increasingly popular choice among the denizens of the net.One of the most obvious reasons why DD-WRT gets so much love is its VPN-related use. Post-installation of the firmware, you can set up your VPN directly on the router, meaning that any device connected to the router is using the VPN service. This is a major boon in terms of convenience, and it also allows you to use one of the best VPNs out there with devices which aren’t supported by the provider.The most direct way to achieve this is to purchase a preconfigured VPN router from a manufacturer. But you can install DD-WRT on any compatible router … [Read more...] about The best VPN for DD-WRT routers in 2018
Understanding VPNs and how to choose one
Now Playing: Watch this: VPN explained: A privacy primer -- with robots and race... 1:39 With technology increasingly intertwined with all aspects of business, [email protected] can help you -- prosumers to small businesses with fewer than five employees -- get started.So you've just started your new business. Where's your office? Chances are it's everywhere. Since Wi-Fi is available in hotels, coffee shops, restaurants and airports, it's easy and convenient to connect and get work done.

If you have an important client or customer, the more dedicated hackers may even try to use your connection to gain access to your client's network.
