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.

Anonymous internet surf!

In this post, I will show you how to surf the internet completely anonymously!

When it comes to downloading music, movies, computer programs, etc. Whenever you download something from the Internet "for free", you leave your mark, and that is the IP address through which you can be easily located and put in an awkward situation in front of the "civil service".

Every computer that connects to the Internet has a specific IP address.

What is an IP address?

An IP address can be static or dynamic:

  • Static does not change when you disconnect from the Internet or after a certain period. It can be like a certain computer identity on the network - it has some advantages for using certain services (such as game servers)
  • While dynamic changes when you disconnect from the Internet or a certain time interval and is mostly used by ordinary Internet users.

How to hide your IP address?

There are several ways:

  1. Proxies - are the simplest but also the worst way to hide an IP address. I have already written about using Proxy, so take a look at this link of instructions.
  2. The second, perhaps the simplest method is similar, but it uses a small program that automatically does everything necessary and starts the Internet Explorer.
    It is about the ultrasurf program. Simply run it, wait for it to connect to the server and it is ready to use - http://ultrasurf.en.softonic.com/
    Also, there is a web browser that is designed just for anonymous surfing the Internet - Tor Web Browser
  3. 3) The third and certainly the best protection of privacy on the Internet is VPN or (Virtual-Private-Network).

VPN (Virtual-Private-Network) is a technology that enables the secure connection of private networks to a shared virtual private network through a public network infrastructure.

One of the most famous is probably the  Hotspot Shield.

You can download it for free from THIS link. Run the installation. During the installation, windows will appear where you need to click on the "Install" button. When the installation is complete, an icon will appear on the start bar (next to the clock), right-click on it, and select "Connect ON".

A new tab will then open in your browser where you will see the connection status. Wait for it to say "connected" and then you can close the card.

Now you can surf the Internet freely and anonymously!

How to check if you are really anonymous?

It's simple: on a site, whatismyip.com will write some IP that is not yours. You can also open the site speedtest.net and a map will appear where you will be marked. If your city is not on the map, then you have done the right thing.

I thank the site javno.ba for the useful information!

Speccy is a program that will reveal these details and you will have a complete insight into all the components that are inside your machine.

Google has launched a new Cultural Institute service where you can view some 3-dimensional historical objects on your computer in your favorite web browser. The items are detailed and you can enlarge them to see even the smallest parts. Of course, they are not perfect, there are some irregularities somewhere, but they were not noticed.
