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.

5x more internet traffic on your phone!

Are you a postpaid user? Do you have a limited number of megabytes, and spend them fast? Or do you, as a prepaid user, buy megabytes for a certain number of days but consume them quickly? There is a solution! And up to 5x more throughput for everyone, for all networks in the world! How? The answer comes in the form of mobile applications "Onavo Extend" and "Opera Max".

These applications work on a simple principle: a query that a user sends for a site first goes to the mobile operator, is forwarded to the server, and is returned to the user who sees the site in the browser as a result. These applications intercept all traffic, compress it, and return the compressed data to the user. This transfers much less data, thus saving megabytes.

5x more internet traffic on your phone!

All the user needs to do is install the app, allow the app to build a VPN on the device, and enjoy the extra megabytes. Applications run in the background and the user does not even have to configure them. With the Opera Max application, you need to choose which networks you want to save bandwidth on - WiFi and/or 3G (and 4G).

Also, the applications have statistics so that the user can see at any time how many megabytes he saved, on which applications, in what period, etc.

Note: Android will recognize Opera Max as a battery-intensive app, but that's not true. There is a detailed explanation for this - http://www.opera.com/help/max/android#battery

You can download Onavo Extend for Android 4.0+ and iOS devices -  http://www.onavo.com/

Opera Max is only available for Android - http://www.opera.com/mobile/max

Android TV Box - a guide to buying up to 30 euros

What is Android TV Box? This is a great solution if you want to add a " Smart " function to an existing TV . With this device, you can watch live TV online for free (later on), play games, upload all kinds of files, watch movies (from USB, over the internet, phone…), listen to songs, surf the internet, use social networks… or everything you can on your Android phone. It is usually a cube-shaped device (but it doesn't have to be) and has various inputs and outputs. It connects to the TV via an HDMI cable , but some also have an AV output over 3.5mm that goes to the familiar 3 cinches, so you can also connect to an older TV (even to SCART if you have an adapter). It is also standard for these devices to have WiFi , LAN port (RJ45), IR Remote , at least 2 USB ports , support for high definition video formats (these cheap ones often have 4K support), and usually come with a remote .
