Wading through the “VPN” marketplace
A local pal and one of my “tech go to’s people” took some time and wrote a post on the recent increase in calls for awareness about privacy and VPN’s. I likes its simplicity and while I have been using another company – I thought his well don’t post was well worth sharing for those who haven’t yet adopted one.
Protect Your Privacy from ISPs and Cyber Threats
April 4, 2017|Jack Mou
Trump’s recent repeal of broadband privacy rules has many of us concerned. Your internet service providers (ISPs) can now make more money by selling your search and browsing history. Imagine your search of medical treatments via your web browser or visits to medical treatment websites could also end up in the hands of marketing companies. In addition, we don’t know how these marketing companies sells your data elsewhere.
So are you worried about your ISP? Is someone on your coffee shop’s Wi-Fi? A hacker bugging your home internet? A virtual private network (VPN) can help protect your privacy. VPNs, such as PureVPN, will protect your internet privacy from your ISP and any other would-be snoopers.
A VPN uses encryption technologies, to create a virtual encrypted “tunnel” between your device and a VPN server. While your traffic is in this tunnel between you and a VPN server, no one can see where you’re going or what you’re doing.
