Safe browsing on an unprotected network

I'm sure I don't need to tell you that being safe on the internet is a top priority. You use anti-virus, malware protection, spam blocker, scanners, firewalls, heat seeking missiles, leper-cons, spiders, micro-machines, GI Joe, and nano-bots; but you still seem to get someone tracking what you are doing. Here I am going to show you some programs you can use.

Teamviewer is a VPN/remote access software that is free if not used for commercial use. You can access you computer anywhere you can access the internet, or you set up a VPN from your desktop at home and access it from your laptop. Works with apple too. You don't even need to install it it will run from file or flash drive or U3 drive and did I mention it was free?

Hamachi Is another free VPN software, it has more options that of teamviewer but its not as user friendly, but its fairly simple. Hamachi allows you to create your own VPN for free! You can add other users to it, and share files with them in a secure manner. Here are a list of features I copied fro Chris Pirillo's blog:

• LAN over the Internet Arrange multiple computers into their own secure network, just as if they were connected by a physical cable.
• Remote Access Remote control any machine on your network with Remote Desktop.
• Files and Network Drives Access critical files and network drives.
• Zero-configuration Works without having to adjust a firewall or router.
• Security Industry leading encryption and authentication.
• Cost Effective Basic version is free to use.

Now what if you don't have a second computer? you could install one of the programs on your buddy's computer with him knowing but he will find out soon enough with the bells and whistles poping up on his side; No... its not logical.

Thats where HotSpot Shield comes in, made possible by Anchor Free and ad supported. You can install this small program and with just one click it will randomly set you up with IP address and you can even watch netflix (which has so many do's and don'ts).
But there is one drawback every user is limited to 5 (or some times less depending on mass usage) gigabytes per month. It is unclear if it is a calender month or a rolling 30 days.
Really 5 gig is really well your telling your going to watch YouTube and netflix on this? I didn't think so you can save it when your accessing your email, or your personal info browsing por- opps- (I mean) art not stuff you don't need to protect.


Till next time...
