Mobile VPN: What could happen if you don’t use one

Whether you are using an older model or the newest Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, one essential tool you need on your device is a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN will protect your browsing habits and internet activity from being accessed by your cell phone carrier, internet service provider, or law enforcement. Furthermore, if you’re concerned about exposing your personal information when connecting to an insecure network at an airport or coffee shop, VPNs can offer an additional level of security.It’s relatively simple to set up a free VPN service on your mobile and the benefits far outweigh the risks of leaving your device exposed to potential threats.Why should I use a VPN on my mobile?Most people and organizations nowadays use VPNs on their PCs and laptops to safeguard their data and increase security while browsing the web. Mobile VPN users, on the other hand, utilize VPNs for a different reason: VPNs were adopted by 57 percent of mobile users to get better streaming content, compared to 54 percent of PC or laptop users. While this is an appealing argument to use a VPN on mobile, the same level of privacy concern that is granted to PC internet browsing should be afforded to mobile internet browsing.There were 4.67 billion active mobile internet users worldwide in 2021, which means a significant amount of personal data was at risk. Furthermore, Android smartphones account for only 37% of VPN usage. When we use our phones to get online, we are usually out and about, presumably linked to unsecured networks for internet access. This exposes us to prospective hackers who may attempt to intercept data sent from your mobile device across a compromised network.There is also the risk that if your operating software is not up to date, you are more likely to be targeted by hackers. Malicious hackers may find it difficult to exploit ordinary users of public Wi-Fi, but outdated software can provide them with the opportunity to acquire the passwords to your most sensitive accounts, including banking credentials. How do VPNs work?VPNs provide an extra layer of security to your mobile device. When you connect to a VPN, your online traffic is authenticated with the remote server location. When you browse the web, the data is encrypted based on the security protocol you’re using, sent to a remote server, and then sent out to the public web. Your new IP address is spoofed with that of the VPN provider, masking your true IP address. Encrypted data packets are transferred between you and the remote VPN server, ensuring your safety and security at all times. This is commonly referred to as VPN tunneling.While there are steps you can take to look for information as securely as possible online, a VPN makes it more challenging for you to be tracked based on information such as your IP address and helps prevent hackers and third parties from getting access to your sensitive data.Privacy and security threatsMany of the apps we use on our mobile devices have upped their game when it comes to security and privacy, such as Instagram introducing new privacy-centric features back in 2021. With this being said, mobile privacy and security threats continue to be on the rise. Phishing attacks via text, also known as smishing, are a way for criminals to gain access to sensitive information by baiting individuals to follow links that contain malicious software. Using our mobiles for tasks such as banking makes security even more vital. Here are a few threats to be wary of when using your mobile device. Data leaks Before installing a new app on your mobile device, you should consider privacy and security risks. Almost every app gathers data from your device. Names, birth dates, credit card, and bank account information, location tracking, phone numbers, photographs, and other personal information may be included. All of the data can be acquired and used for fraud if the app’s systems are hacked or if a technical flaw renders them vulnerable.SpywareBe wary of apps that claim to track the whereabouts of your loved ones and children, as they could be spyware meant for intrusive digital monitoring. Criminals can use these apps to read text messages and emails, track the mobile’s whereabouts, listen in on adjacent conversations, and capture photos. PasswordsWhen it comes to practicing greater security, passwords are frequently overlooked. Many users make mistakes, such as using the same password for multiple accounts. If a hacker obtains your password through a data leak or another means, they will have access to many accounts containing sensitive personal information.Trojan horse appsSome apps are specifically designed to install malware on your device. An app may seem to be beneficial, providing free access to something that should cost money, yet it includes a virus. On the other hand, the malware may use the phone’s online banking app to discreetly transfer money to the criminal’s accounts.ConclusionA mobile VPN should be utilized to provide you with better security and peace of mind when browsing the web or completing sensitive tasks, such as online banking. The risk of not using a VPN on your mobile opens up a plethora of threats from hackers and leaves your data exposed to many entities, including your internet service provider. EDITOR NOTE: This is a promoted post and should not be considered an editorial endorsement

Toshiba H13 Air Purifier review

When living in the South, there are things that are just more environmentally common. For me, that’s seasonal allergens that wreck my respiratory system. From blooming foliage to my Boston terrier, my body fights with the air around me. Thankfully, companies like Toshiba are making products like air purifiers to help alleviate these issues.I’ve been testing the new air purifier and come away with very positive impressions.DesignThe overall industrial look of the H13 is a cross between a futuristic trash can and a floor fan. There’s a status LED that runs the entire circumference of the top and a multi-button control panel above that. The controls include fan speed, timer, cleaning modes, and power on/off switch.Internally, you get a 3-layer filtration system. This includes a pre-filter to capture larger particles like hair and fur. You then have a traditional HEPA filter for pollen, dust, and molds. Finally, combined with these is an activated carbon filter to catch smoke, odors, and gaseous pollutants.App controlYou can’t have a household gadget these days without WiFi connectivity and the Toshiba H13 is no exception. The air purifier can be paired with the official app, Alexa, and Google Assistant to give you controls remotely.The TSmartLife app is well laid out and easy to use. After completing the pairing, you have general control similar to those on the physical hardware. You can turn on/ off the unit, set a timed session, change the fan speed and modes, and even schedule sessions via the app.The app also does a great job of telling you the air quality in real-time. This mirrors the LED panel found on the H13, and both are a glanceable reading to always know your home’s air health. For those new to air filters, like myself, it also has a nice breakdown of what that quality value means for you.Another persistent status in the app is the condition of your filters. It has a dedicated section of the home screen giving you the remaining life span of each filter.Daily usageWith all these simple options for controlling the Toshiba H13 air purifier is a breeze to use. The H13 can handle up to 483 square feet of space making it perfect for a living room or larger bedrooms.It’s also extremely quiet while in use making less than 30 decibels of noise. This is similar to a whisper. For reference, a normal conversation is considered in the 60-decibel levels. You shouldn’t be disturbed regardless of where you position the H13 in your home.I’ve also found the app and voice controls to be very consistent and helpful. The app takes a few seconds to gain network access and wake the Toshiba, but once that’s established all controls work as expected. I’ve not had any failures in that area.The same is true for Alexa and Google Home. Alexa can access modes, power the unit on and off, and increase the fan speed. The integration here is much deeper than Google Home. Home is limited to only turning the unit on and off.Editor’s ChoiceThis award is reserved for products, apps, and services which have an overall average score of 4.25 or higher. Graded on a scale of 1-5, our reviews look at a variety of aspects to determine a total rating. Factors which help to create the composite score will often include design, features, price, warranty, audio, battery, general and performance.ConclusionThe Toshiba H13 is a high-quality addition to anyone’s home who suffers from the particles floating around at any given time. The multiple stages of filtration, easy controls, and quiet fans make it very easy to add to any room.That leaves one metric: price. The Toshiba H13 is reasonably priced at $287. This makes is competitive with other air purifiers on the market. Hit the Amazon link below if the Toshiba H13 Air Purifier suits your needs.Purchase the Toshiba H13 Air Purifier

Boost your Android phone’s security with a VPN

Smartphones with an Internet connection have transformed the way people surf the web. But every time you connect to the web through your phone, prying eyes are snooping on your every website visit and tracking your online activities. Protect your privacy and increase your phone’s security by using a VPN. Then, instead of connecting directly to a site, you will connect to the VPN servers, and the servers will safely route you to the page. If you are an Android user, your device is under attack. The open nature of the Android operating system, the ease with which applications are created, and the wide range of unofficial app markets influence the security of Android phones. To download a VPN for your Android device, click here. Benefits of using a VPN on your Android PhoneEnjoy Secured Browsing on Public Wi-Fi NetworksOne of the biggest reasons you must use a VPN on your Android phone is connecting your phone to a public Wi-Fi Internet connection. Unfortunately, it means your phone is joining a pool of networked devices, and it is possible for individuals with malicious intent to snoop on the Internet traffic you are sending back and forth.  Using your Android phone for critical tasks like shopping and banking is best to use a VPN to ensure secure browsing. By using a VPN, users guarantee that cybercriminals are unable to identify them and cannot track their online activities. Internet Traffic is Safeguarded Against InterceptionIf your data is unencrypted, it can be viewed by anyone with network access. Thanks to a VPN service, cybercriminals and hackers cannot eavesdrop and see what you are doing online. However, they will require an encryption key to make sense of your Internet traffic, and even brute force attacks will take several years for a computer to comprehend the code. By blocking out cyber criminals, you can safely surf the Internet and carry out your online activities on public networks. Easily Overcome Firewalls and Content BlocksVPNs come to the rescue when you need to circumvent firewall-blocking rules. For example, your workplace, school, country, or Internet service provider may block some websites. You can switch on a VPN to get around firewalls, and access blocked websites. Some ISPs even throttle the speeds of Internet traffic, especially when you are gaming, torrenting, or streaming online content. However, you can switch on a VPN service to maintain a faster Internet speed, irrespective of what you use the Internet for. Less Corporate Breaches for Remote WorkersWhen working remotely, are you using your Android phone to connect to your company’s internal network? If so, you must be careful so that your company’s confidential information does not get exposed and into the hands of cybercriminals. In addition, for your organization’s safety, you must enhance the phone’s security while viewing these files. Thanks to a VPN, you can connect to private servers and utilize encryption methods to lower the risks of data leaks. Therefore, continue working remotely using your Android phone without any trouble. Access Geo-blocked ContentSome content on popular streaming websites/apps like Disney+, Netflix, or Hulu is only available if you connect to them from certain countries. However, you can view geo-blocked content by using a VPN. VPNs enable users to connect through a server in the relevant country and view the content. For instance, if you are using a VPN in Australia, you can switch on the VPN on your phone and connect to a server in the USA to stream content that is only available in the USA. How do VPNs Work to Keep Your Android Phone Safe?If you are wondering how VPNs work to keep your Android phones safe, here’s a lowdown of how it works. VPNs utilize some methods to ensure users are completely anonymous when surfing the web so that snoopers cannot identify their Internet traffic and monitor their online activities. One of the methods of how this works is encryption. Encryption helps scramble the data in a format only the destination can read and understand. VPNs use tunneling protocols to create encrypted tunnels within the cellular or Wi-Fi network. These help to protect by concealing and isolating data from the rest of the users on the network. This data encryption is highly valuable, whether you are connected to unsecured or secured data. For the encrypted data tunnels, remote servers are the destination. So, your data will get shipped to the VPN servers in other countries to anonymize your identity. When your data moves to the final target, the location data is from the remote servers, and cybercriminals cannot understand them. So, these remote VPN servers disguise your data and prevent interference. These methods help to keep users’ information private and safeguard it from being snatched and sifted. In addition, it gives you more peace of mind as your Android phone’s security is boosted. Setting up a VPN on Your Android PhoneFollow these simple steps to set up a VPN on your Android phone. Go through the Android VPN list and subscribe to your chosen one. Some of the top Android VPNs are Surfshark, ExpressVPN, CyberGhost VPN, etc. Download your chosen VPN from the Google Play Store or the website of the VPN provider. Once downloaded, your device will automatically install the VPN. After installation, you must open the VPN application and see a pop-up message asking you to grant permissions. You must give the authorization by tapping Allow, or Yes so your device can create a VPN connection. Then, log in to the VPN service and follow the login instructions on the screen. Once you are logged in, go to the VPN app’s dashboard, and you will see different options depending on your chosen provider. You can adjust the settings by choosing a server location and connecting to it. Finally, turn on the VPN and surf the web. Final ThoughtsVPNs are one of the easiest ways to enhance the security of your Android phone and surf the Internet with complete peace of mind.EDITOR NOTE: This is a promoted post and should not be considered an editorial endorsement
