Boost your privacy with a VPN
Virtual Private Networks allow you to connect to the internet safely wherever you are, even if your only option is the dodgy unsecured Wi–Fi network in your local bar. Your data is encrypted before being transferred through a “tunnel” that’s impervious to attacks. When it reaches its destination, the data is decrypted
— with the same happening in reverse. Your anti–virus tool may come with a limited free VPN built–in, but if you’re willing to pay, our VPN of choice is ExpressVPN (from around $13 a month, expressvpn.com) because it’s fast, secure, and covers all your devices. If that’s too expensive, try Windscribe’s free option (windscribe.com).
