Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

Use Facebook safely

Use Facebook safely

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a combination of Hypertext Transfer Protocol with SSL / TSL protocol to provide encryption and secure server identification. It uses port 443. The HTTPS connection is often used for money transactions over the Internet and for the transmission of sensitive information.

Recently, Facebook also introduced HTTPS. Until now, this method of protection was enabled only when logging in to the user account. And now it is possible to move only through Facebook. I'll show you how to simply activate this.

Log in to your account, then click "Account" at the top right and select "Account Setup". When a new settings page opens, select "Account Security" ( as shown ). It's already activated for me, but if you don't, you'll have an empty field to uncheck. Check this box and click "Save" below. That would be it.

If you want an even more secure account, do the following:

Open the account security setting again, and below the field for HTTPS, you also have something else to tick, Unhook it all (you have it in the previous picture). The next time you log in to your account, you will need to enter, after the password and email, the Code that arrives as a text message on your phone.

If you have not activated this type of service with text messages, I will make a tutorial for that soon.

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
