What is a Kodi box, you ask? Well, it’s definitely not a lunchbox for a Kodiak bear, that’s for sure. Jokes aside, Kodi boxes are streaming devices that seamlessly run the free media streaming software Kodi (or as previously known, XBMC). This tool is considered to be the “Windows Media Center of smart TVs” . Kodi made a long trip to its current status: initially it was meant to be an add-on software for game consoles, so people can enjoy both movies and video games from the same hardware. But as it has become more and more popular, the creators transformed it into a cross-platform streaming application, and thus Kodi skyrocketed into success. Read More…

A Gaming VPN, Seasoned Gamers’ Secret Weapon
“Why would I need a VPN to play games online? It won’t protect me from a headshot, it slows down my internet connection,…” This is a common argument gamers have when debating on the usefulness of a VPN. Sadly, VPNs have to live with the stigma of “restricting connection speed in favor of defense”, which holds no real value nowadays, since VPN providers managed to balance out their service to maintain a blazing pace. If a VPN is good for streamers, then it definitely serves the needs of gamers as well. Not to mention that a VPN can eliminate constant issues like high PING or lagging. And the peace of mind of being protected from DDOS attack is just the icing on the cake. Read More…
Using a VPN with Your Android TV Box
People love streaming movies on their smart TVs. Nothing beats the feeling of watching your favorite series on Netflix, while sitting on a comfy sofa in your living room. Unfortunately, the carefree movie marathons came to a sudden screech recently, with the arrival of the regional blocks. There is nothing more frustrating when you have already prepared the popcorn, but the system informs you that the chosen content cannot be accessed anymore. In such instances, a VPN is the first thing that comes to mind, as tunneling your connection through a foreign proxy allows the bypassing of such petty restrictions. Unlimited streaming is a good start, but there are other benefits as well, like full anonymity and an extra layer of protection. You never know what kinds of dangers are lurking out there, waiting for a chance to get a hold on your personal information. Read More…
VPNs That Still Work with Netflix
Netflix took the internet by surprise when they announced at the beginning of 2016 that they’ll stop VPN and smart DNS users from getting easy access to their media content. Their increased efforts yielded fruition, and now the popular site is unavailable with most of these services. Naturally, people weren’t happy with the company’s decision. Most of them were already Netflix subscribers, who just wanted to protect their privacy. Others also paid for the service, but wanted to access all the available content, without the geo-bordering making a fuss about it. Sadly, these people are currently excluded and really angry. They even started a petition called My Netflix, My Privacy. However, Netflix doesn’t seem to care much about the uproar, calling the protesters “a small but quite vocal minority”. Read More…

Putting Multi-Device Logins of your VPN to Good Use
“Multi-device login for my VPN? Why would I ever need that?” This a common question asked by people inspecting the different offers of a VPN provider. The idea of “I just need VPN for myself” is often a tiebreaker when it comes to choosing one plan over another. The sad thing is, you do need extra “device slots”. Think about it: you most likely have a smartphone, and a computer/laptop. This already counts as two separate devices, even though you use both of them, and the account is also the same. But there are other occasions when an additional connection might come in handy.
Smartphone Junkies
Purchasing a VPN plan that offers you lots of multiple logins is essential for families or tech junkies. You need to register it for your PC or laptop, smartphone(s), tablets, multiplied with the number of persons you share the access with. As mentioned before, your computer isn’t the only platform that benefits from an access to the VPN server. As such, the primary target should be your smartphone, as it’s exposed to unsecured Wi-Fi networks more frequently than any other device. People who are always on the go, managing their business communication and financial duties via their phone, desperately need a way to encrypt their data transfer. And when you have more than one device, you need more than one login slot, naturally. Read More…
Should the VPN Industry Be Regulated?
Protecting someone is a good business. Today and in the past, bodyguards are hired to escort VIPs safely to their destination. With the rising popularity of the internet, anyone connected to the worldwide web is starting to realize that they need protection, so tech geniuses have come up with firewalls, anti-viruses and encryption. Do you know how many hardware or software based encryption services are out there at the moment? Approximately 856! Not all of them are VPN providers, but we can assume that VPN companies are main players in this field. Still, this is a clear indication of people’s inherent attachment to privacy. But not everyone thinks so… Read More…
