A common myth about VPN services is that they make you anonymous. Like a digital invisibility cloak, you activate your client, and then you are free to browse without a trace. Sadly, this is a misconception, born from the exaggerated marketing blurb of the industry. Anonymity and privacy isn’t the same thing. This is especially frustrating when you realize that you are being followed by online advertisements. You know the gig: by mistakenly clicking on a banner, you’ll be haunted for weeks by that specific ad. Fortunately, there is a way to enhance your VPN service so it would function as an ad repellent as well. Read More…

What to Do Against Netflix Banning VPNs
The prospect of accessing Netflix by enrooting your internet connection with the help of servers in the U.S. was always a major selling point for VPNs. But it seems Netflix had enough of this practice: David Fullager, the vice-president of content delivery architecture for Netflix, recently announced in a blogpost that in the near future, users can only access content available in their country, and they’ll stop people from exploiting the system of using VPNs, proxy servers and other methods to bypass the regional blocks.
The reasoning behind their act is that they already expanded to almost every country on the globe, and they are said to provide the same content for everyone. The only thing they forget that even if you pay for using Netflix, no regions have such rich supply of movies as the U.S., hence the popularity of IP masking services. Read More…
Should I Enable My VPN for Online Banking?
The usefulness of VPN is hardly questionable. You are able to access blocked content, boost you security by encrypting your data stream, watch a wider variation of movies on Netflix, and so on. But did you know that having a VPN could be essential to manage your online banking tasks? That’s right, connecting to a VPN network before accessing your bank account could prove more useful than any anti-virus software and firewall.
The Pros And Cons of Online Banking
Imagine the situation: you are walking on the street, and all of a sudden you realize you forgot to make an important bank transfer. You head to the nearest coffee place with free Wi-Fi. You sit down, open your browser, and provide your login details, and then proceed to finish your transaction. All the important information, including your whole account, can be easily hijacked by hackers, as open Wi-Fi networks have absolutely no protection. Your personal data can easily leak, causing unrepairable damage to your finances. And even your anti-virus or firewall is helpless in this situation. This can be prevented, however, using a VPN. When tunneling your data transfer thorough a secured server, it receives an added layer of defense, thanks to safe encryption protocols. Most VPN providers offer a scalable protection level. Currently the 4096-bit encryption is the highest, but even the 1024-bit encryption promises an almost uncrackable result. Read More…
StrongVPN vs HideMyAss Comparison
Throughout our comparisons, this is the one article that is perhaps one sided. The case is such because StrongVPN is more of an average Virtual Private Network (VPN) service, while HideMyAss is among the very best today. They do have something rare in common though, and this is the main basis of our comparison. Both HideMyAss and StrongVPN offer connections to China, one of the most isolated countries in the world, as far as the internet goes (the situation is a bit more complex offline). This is the only part of their respective services that is worth examining is close detail; otherwise, HideMyAss easily outclasses StrongVPN in every other area. Read More…
12VPN vs StrongVPN Comparison
China is a country that really seeks to isolate itself online. With one of the strongest internet restrictions today, residents have very few opportunities to view foreign content. The “Great Firewall of China” is a term that unifies the many counteractive measures employed by the country. This article is about the comparison of two Virtual Private Network (VPN) companies that seek to remedy the need of those who still wish to connect elsewhere. 12VPN and StrongVPN both report that they are indeed able to sneak through the Firewall of China. Thus, we will now examine what they have to offer as VPN services themselves. Read More…
CyberGhost vs Private Internet Access Comparison
What might appear an unlikely couple at first sight is now justified from a perspective. CyberGhost and Private Internet Access are quite the oddballs on the VPN market. Their reasons are different, and thus we decided it is worth examining what makes them stand out a bit. Surprisingly, the oddness does not lie in some ludicrous offer or an unseen feature, but rather in the lack of it. CyberGhost and Private Internet Access are good companies because they do not make much hassle about themselves; rather their strength lies in consistency and a common trait: P2P support. It is true that there are only a handful of countries that openly support file sharing, and the fact that both of these organizations offer such options even in places where it is restricted or illegal suggests that both of them are high on safety.

CyberGhost vs SurfEasy Comparison
In this comparison, we are going to examine the ups and downs of two respected names in the VPN world: Romania-based CyberGhost and Opera Software child SurfEasy. However, we do not to this in order to pick a “winner”. Most VPN companies loosely offer the same kind of features – CyberGhost and SurfEasy are a great example of highlighting what such organizations focus on in their products and based on the knowledge, you can determine whether or not these services are of your liking. In the case of these two, the distribution of free content is quite telling, with both of them having a “free forever” program, enabling you to use their services without a time limit. Thus, this overview is aimed at providing you a clear insight into the nature of CyberGhost and SurfEasy. Read More…

A VPN is essential to safeguard sensitive data, access geo-restricted content, optimize internet speed, and enhance cybersecurity. Thankfully, with experienced VPN players like NordVPN and ExpressVPN, you’re in good hands.

Hide.me vs HideMyAss Comparison
Hide and seek is a great game, but this article is not necessarily about how these two Virtual Private Network (VPN) providers can give you a great amount of privacy online. Needless to say, both Hide.me and HideMyAss fulfill this purpose very well; but with time, they introduced features into their repertoire that transcend this basic VPN function of “hiding you”. Incidentally, both are connected to anonymous virtual travel. HideMyAss, with an impressive selection of locations, and Hide.me, with just general great quality and advanced utility. The former has grown to be one of the most well-respected services today, while Hide.me specialized, and satisfies those with more specific tastes. Thus, here stands a comparison of the two. Read More…
Astrill vs IPVanish Comparison
The western style of marketing often focuses on highlighting certain outstanding effects of products, some specific traits that make them worthy of purchasing (even if the rest is rubbish). We too have dealt with such products, but this article is an exception. Both Astrill and IPVanish do not strictly fit this scheme. They shine out instead with their consistency and eye for detail; all aspects of their services are steady, of good quality – but nothing extra. We are going to examine details of these in this comparison. Read More…
