11. VPNs
VPNs are key component of the privacy and security toolkit by preventing others from monitoring your online behavior. They create an encrypted connection between your device and a remote server, helping you access blocked content and conduct research without revealing your location.
Good VPNs don't keep logs and do cost money; free ones often collect data for advertising. VPN limitations include not protecting against malware, password theft, or complete anonymity. Your provider, partners, used sites/services, and governments may still track your online activities.
Stop Using: Hide My Ass, Express VPN , Pure VPN, Opera Free VPN, VPNSecure, VPN Master, Windscribe, Hotspot Shield VPN
Start Using:
