NordVPN
Recently, I was seeking additional information about an intriguing product. To receive the information, the website required an email address and a phone number. Check this out. I have a long email address. (EdSchneider0105@computerbroker.com) To quickly enter this address, I hit the “\” key, then the “3” key. I commonly use a fake phone number. As I was entering (111) 111-1111, the phone rings. Without providing my correct phone number, I received a phone call about this product! I was on the website for less than a minute, and they had my personal information! If you have ever called your cable provider for internet support, you likely know they can see every PC, laptop, tablet, and cell phone connected to their router. As happened to a friend, a hacker could see all his connected devices.Here is my solution:
I replaced the cable company’s router with a top-rated ASUS router. When I returned the router to the cable company, a $10.00 wi-fi charge was removed from my bill. These savings pay for my router in less than a year!
Ed’s Note: Your cable modem is likely half-duplex. The ASUS router is full-duplex. Full-duplex communication enables simultaneous, two-way data transmission between devices, doubling efficiency compared to half-duplex by allowing both parties to send and receive concurrently. All you really need to know is that full-duplex is better and faster!
Next, I researched VPN options. NordVPN was almost always the best-rated VPN. NordVPN offers a Basic Plan, but I suggest you get the Plus Plan.
You can install NordVPN on every device. This is a pain in the you-know-what when family and friends visit and want to connect with your network. The better option is to install NordVPN on your new router, protecting all devices at all times!
