ITACS 5211: Introduction to Ethical Hacking

Do you need a VPN?

November 4, 2017 by Andres Galarza 1 Comment

I thought this post by Mozilla was easy to understand and fairly comprehensive. This, combined with a post on either Reddit or Hacker News about the topic also brought up the alarming fact that some people pay for VPN apps on the Apple Store of Google Play Store without doing any research!

    Andres,

    This is a really informative article especially for the ones who are not so technical. Ever since the Internet privacy rules have been pulled, I have been sharing with my non-technical friends about installing VPN for security purposes. I have already passed this article on to a few of them. With all the cyberattacks and Internet privacy laws being rolled back, I think it is a really good idea for everyone to install VPN. I have not done it myself yet, but I have been going back on who I should go through or have been asking others for recommendations. The article you published has great resources I will be taking a look at. Thanks for sharing!
