Here’s how to set up a VPN and protect your data

TwitterFacebook

On today’s internet, having at least some level of protection is essential.

A VPN or virtual private network is a tool to get an extra layer of protection — it essentially masks your connection while encrypting your data. The best part is you don’t need to get any physical hardware to use one; using a VPN is usually as simple as downloading and launching an app

Once you have a VPN setup, you can use it on your home WiFi, public networks, over LTE, and even while traveling. 

Certainly, the internet is a great way to connect with others, but users need to be careful now more than ever.

How to clean up all the useless app subscriptions on iOS

TwitterFacebook

Apps are essential to getting the most out of our smartphones, but the subscriptions that some of those apps rope us into are far from necessary once they fall out of regular rotation. 

Even the best of us probably have an app sub or two we’ve forgotten about after signing up once and never using the program again, which can be super annoying when seemingly phantom charges show up when it comes time to pay the bill. 

iPhone upgrade season is here, and that gives everyone using iOS a good excuse to double-check just how many useless subscriptions we have on our dockets. Here’s how to find all of the app subscriptions you currently have tied to your Apple ID — and how to cancel them when you decide you’ve had enough.  Read more…
