Can a VPN be Tracked by The Government?

Key takeaways:

  • A VPN provider with a solid no-logs policy and strong encryption makes it much harder for the government to track your real IP or browsing history.
  • Websites can still track user activity with cookies and other scripts, even with a VPN tunnel.
  • Free or untrustworthy VPN providers often collect connection logs or use monitoring software, making it easier for the police to trace users.

    • Using a VPN might make you feel invisible online, but the government or the police can find traces of you if they employ the needed resources for it, since tracking IPs is not the only way to recognize your profile online..

    Many people turn to a VPN provider hoping to make their online activities private. But the truth is, it’s a bit messier than that. You’re surely a lot safer with it than without it, but not entirely untouchable.

    How to Know If Your Phone Is Hacked: 7 Warning Signs

    Key takeaways:

  • Sudden warnings, ads, messages, power usage or performance issues, and settings changes may signal your phone is hacked.
  • Phones can be hacked by attacks based on social engineering, such as phishing, and more sophisticated exploits requiring minimal human interaction.
  • It's crucial to immediately disconnect your phone from the internet, change all passwords, and remove suspicious files or apps.
  • Run a mobile security scan or run a full reset of the phone if nothing else helps.
  • Preventing phone hacks relies on updating your software, avoiding third-party app stores and public Wi-Fis, and being cautious with online links.

    • Realizing your phone has been hacked is much more than an inconvenience. From storing pictures of your cat to accessing your bank account and making purchases, we rely on smartphones for almost everything.

    The more you use your smartphone, the more important it is to know how to spot, fix, and prevent malware attacks. Most hacks on Android and iOS devices can be reversed, so once you suspect something, it's important to stay calm and take immediate action.

    A proxy server is an easy alternative to a VPN that can perform most of the functions of the latter. It’s a server that stands between your device and the destination server, taking your connection requests and forwarding them in your name.

    Destination servers in almost all cases see the proxy server as the originator of the request. As such, proxies are widely used in various, mostly business-related applications whenever privacy, security, location changing, and several other factors are at play.
