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.

Create your own data encryption program

Create your own data encryption program

Create a data encryption program in Notepad in 3 minutes!

How?

All you need is Notepad++ (maybe a regular Notepad). If you are ready to get started!

Open Notepad ++ and paste the code below this paragraph. Then click on "Save As.." and select "All files" below, and for the name type "encrypt .vbs" (you can do anything else but it must be at the end of .vbs ).

set x = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
mySecret = inputbox("Input password and press OK for encryption")
mySecret = StrReverse(mySecret)
x.Run "%windir%\notepad"
wscript.sleep 1000
x.sendkeys encode(mySecret)


function encode(s)
For i = 1 To Len(s)
newtxt = Mid(s, i, 1)
newtxt = Chr(Asc(newtxt)+5)
coded = coded & newtxt
Next
encode = coded
End Function

Save it somewhere, e.g. on the desktop.

Now open Notepad++ again and paste that SAME Code again. But now we have to change something.

Find line number 12 and at the end of the line you will see that it says "+5"

All you have to do is delete that Plus (+) and replace it with Minus (-).

Save this file in the same way as the first one, but put "decrypt.vbs " for the name

You now have 2 files, the first to encrypt your password and the second to decrypt.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
