Once you move out of a country to somewhere else, you lose access to all the location-locked content. For some countries that may not be a big issue, but if you move out of the US, for example, the content offered by every streaming service and many other platforms will change greatly.

A virtual private network (VPN) can help you circumvent the issue entirely. As long as the virtual private network has servers in that particular country, you can access any location-based content.

That’s part of the reason as to why VPNs became so popular – they allow you to access web services and content that otherwise would not be available to you.

NFC (Near-Field Communication) is a short-range wireless technology that allows devices to transmit information over short distances (usually, a few to a dozen centimeters). NFC signals are widely used for small, quick operations such as contactless payments and access control.

It’s built upon the RFID technology and is intended to be more secure. However, NFC security isn’t foolproof either – there’s plenty of ways for various people to abuse the system. Since NFC signals are used for important operations (e.g., contactless payments), knowing how to avoid such situations is vital.

MAC flooding is a network attack that intends to overwhelm a switch (a device that directs data packets to specific MAC addresses), causing it to enter a fail-safe mode. A network switch, when overwhelmed, enters an “open” mode where all information is sent to every port to avoid taking down the network.

Since all data is transmitted to every MAC address, the security of a network is compromised. Normally, a switch would only send data to specific ports and addresses. In the fail-safe mode, port security is compromised as all information is transmitted to every port.

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.

There were 1802 total data compromises in 2022 which translates into ~422M total victims. 1774 of those compromises were data breaches that could’ve been prevented at some level.

One of the most effective ways to enhance your online security, privacy, and accessibility is a virtual private network, better known as a VPN.

In this article you will understand what is a VPN, why use a VPN, and how it works to protect your online privacy.

Over 80% of data breaches are caused by weak passwords. This makes it one of the most popular gateways for hackers to reach your personal data. Therefore, it’s essential to change it regularly to protect your personal information and secure your accounts.
