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.

What is IPv6?

What is IPv6?

Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is a network layer protocol, the successor to the Internet Protocol (IPv4), designed by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).

In IPv6, a new (but not yet widely used) standard Internet protocol, where 128-bit addresses are wide, which, even with large netblock allocations, should satisfy the near future.

Theoretically, there would be exactly 2128, or 3,403 × 1,038 unique host interface addresses. If the earth were made up entirely of a 1cm³ grain of sand, then a single address could be assigned to each grain in 300 million planets the size of the earth. This large address space will be rarely filled, allowing more routing information to be re-encoded into the addresses themselves.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long. Addresses are assigned to individual interfaces on nodes, not nodes in person. A single interface can have multiple unicast addresses. Any of the unicast addresses associated with a node interface can be used to uniquely represent that node. The combination of long addresses and multiple addresses per interface allows more efficient routing compared to IPv4.

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 ".

SOPA and PIPA are slowly losing support, the protest yielded results

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.

Wireless phone chargers - where, which and how to buy?

Wireless chargers are purchased separately from the device itself, and the user often does not know which Wireless charger to buy or where. Of course, they can be bought from us, not everywhere, but some stores sell them,  which I already wrote about .
