VPN Software To Stop Big Brother From Watching
It’s not just Big Brother watching your every move online, Google, Facebook and others are too. Here is how you protect your online browsing activities from snooping, something every 2nd Amendment supporter needs to be concerned with.
Big companies watch you because they want to SELL every piece of data they can possibly collect about you. At times, they may even want to censor the information available to you…if not now, soon.
Using a VPN, or Virtual Private Network to protect you from hackers when away from home – using public WiFi – and to lessen the ability of big brother to watch you anytime, used to be difficult.
Not so long ago, only the tech savvy could get a VPN working reliably and it usually was not too convenient.
Thanks to recent advances in VPN Software, though, that has all changed!
And YES, there is an app for your phone!
Special Danger For Firearms Enthusiasts
Ever Google a particular gun, maybe one that is not legal to own (maybe that you used in the military with Uncle Sam’s blessing) and wondered if some three letter agency is recording your surfing (they are) and could haunt you with it down the road?
Perhaps worse than that, maybe you watch a movie, or a show like “Breaking Bad” and wonder if what they are talking about – or doing – is real or Hollywood make believe.
What do you do?
You Google it…
And Google (along with the NSA and probably others) dutifully record your search. Later on, courts can demand Google hand it over. (Of course, they’ve already sold the information to advertisers…)
Or, maybe you have the bad habit of downloading movies from some of those sights that violate copyright?
Other Reasons For A VPN
Maybe you even travel outside the country and you need online services only provided to inhabitants of the USA and perhaps other specific countries. Using VPN software to connect to a server in the USA can give you access to what might be denied where you currently are at.
What Is A VPN?
Briefly, VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, allow users to securely access a private network and share data remotely through public networks. Think of the VPN as a secure, private “tunnel” that your data travels through instead of the open road where anyone can observe.
A proper VPN will hide your activity from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), others using a public WiFi that you are on, and anyone actually snooping on your internet connection.
For a more detailed explanation, see this LifeHacker article. Note, however, that the VPN’s they mention don’t really work for some of the purposes I’ve mentioned above since they only ‘exit’ or have you appear to be located in one or just a few spots, mostly NOT in the USA.
Try This EASY To Use VPN
A friend of mine originally a tech guru in Romania, now hanging in the international community of Toronto turned me onto this really easy to use, FAST, VPN service called NordVPN.
Unlike so many other VPN services, NordVPN does not require you do download a 1/2 gigabyte of bloatware from Microsoft before you even install the VPN software.
With NordVPN I easily connect to a VPN Server from any of a number of countries and once connected, surf the internet the same as I would any other time with one HUGE exception – no one can spy on me.
No Log Files
The big thing with any service like this is you want one that does NOT keep track of when & where you surf via log files that could potentially be requested by a law enforcement agency or a court.
NordVPN keeps NO LOG FILES to come back and bite you in the butt!
Please note, though, that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) DOES keep log files, and is likely required to keep them for 2 years!
