Looking For Privacy On The Web?

If you’re like me then you probably spend more time working on your laptop outside of your office than inside. This also includes surfing facebook on your iphone while waiting in line at the coffeshop. By now you probably already know of just how insecure wireless really is, but how can you ensure that no matter where you are, you’re safe?
Simple answer: a VPN service.
It acts as a secure connection between your computer or iphone (or any electronic device for that matter, including your boxee, etc..) and them, sending out requests to websites, email accounts, etc.. all through THEIR secure connection. Stops people from being able to sniff your connection, stops people from stealing your data, most importantly, it can also enable you to use service like spotify which are currently only allowing certain countries to sign up. Don’t worry, VPN services are typically cheap, so what you need to look for when choosing a VPN provider is the options and level of security they provide.
How many different countries do they have VPN accounts available in? What level of security do they use?
I’ve used a few different services through the years, even attempting to run my own via openvpn, but so far the easiest (and well, cheapest without losing security features) one has been overplay.net. They’re widely known for their strong level of anonymous/secure surfing not to mention their ability to access location restrictive TV content. Anyhow, they’re worth at least checking out. The service is only $9.95 a month and you get access to all their vpn servers spanning 20 countries around the world. Not to shabby right? Ohh, and not to leave out – they accept paypal..
