The holidays are here. It’s everyone’s favorite time of year for sweaters, warm tea, scarves, and travel. If you’re one of the more than 100 million people who’ll hit the roads, we’ve got some tips to stay safe online and away from snoops and hackers. First things first, if you’re going to travel, get yourself a trustworthy VPN.
Traveling with a VPN is a smart bet
For anyone traveling overseas, or even just stateside, getting a VPN is the smartest investment you can make. Why? Because the Wi-Fi networks in most airports, coffee shops, and 24-hour diners aren’t encrypted, which leaves you vulnerable to anyone potentially on that network. A VPN acts like a tunnel and protects your data from any bad actors that may be lurking.
Getting a travel VPN makes all the difference because all you have to do is log in and your data is protected. Millions of people move through airports daily, and because of the relative anonymity of the people flowing through, it’s a comfortable place for a bad actor to gain access to your data via a shared network. If you’re protected with a VPN, the open network becomes protected. If you’re traveling overseas, this is especially important as open networks may not get the attention that they do back home to ensure network safety. You should invest in a VPN for international travel
Don’t get blocked by a firewall 
An overseas VPN helps because if you’re planning on communicating with friends and family via chat tools like WhatsApp, Skype, or even just FaceTime on your laptop, you need to know that you can reach them. In many countries, chat tools are banned, just like Google or Facebook. If you want to communicate with the outside world when traveling somewhere like China, or Iraq, you need a way to get past these countries’-imposed access bans. Hotels or public cafes where you get your WIFI access may also impose firewalls or blacklist specific sites- so it’s not just for foreign travelers.
Unlock your streaming content
Another reason to get a travel VPN for overseas use is a pretty obvious one: unblock websites while traveling like Netflix and Hulu. If you’re traveling abroad, even to countries like Japan or Australia, you’ll likely run into issues when streaming Netflix. In fact, most of the content those countries feature is geo-blocked and specific to that country.
Stay on schedule with your regular shows while travelling by using a VPN. Get the best VPN for overseas that you can, especially if you want to log into your Netflix account to binge watch Stranger Things while stuck on an eleven-hour flight. A VPN will allow you to log into your home account, bypassing any kind of location-based firewalls, no matter your destination.
All you must do to access your Netflix via a VPN is:

Download VyprVPN – your first three days are free.  
Connect to VyprVPN – with our Chameleon technology, even local ISPs can’t identify your traffic as being from a VPN.  
Continue to use your device as you would otherwise, with the peace of mind of protection.

National Cybersecurity Awareness Month: Tips for Keeping Your Personal Data, Personal.

Blog، In the News، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

Halloween isn’t the only thing happening in October; it’s also National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). Launched in 2003, NCSAM is a month-long effort to educate the public about the importance of security awareness, and the genuine threats happening online.
Created by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cybersecurity Alliance, NCSAM is essential, because there are a lot of digital risks out there.
With the continuing trend of Russian hackers, kids with laptops who are smart enough to hack Tesla, and attacks like those that leave Target scrambling, it’s good practice to be prepared, and know how to defend yourself.
In recognition of the month, we’ll be offering some cyber security awareness tips and tricks as to what you can do to check your systems or adjust your processes even if you’re not great with technology.
Cybersecurity is something we all can get behind because frankly, knowing there are people out there who can hack the little camera on your laptop is quite frightening.
To get started down our cybersecurity journey, here are a few things you can do right now to make yourself safer online:
Don’t be Facebook friends with that strange, attractive person…
Let’s just be realistic, if a beautiful woman or extremely attractive man with no mutual friends, who also happens to look like a model on some faraway beach wants to be your friend on Facebook, it’s likely a bot. A bot that wants to hack into your account with the goal of selling your friends knock off Ray Ban sunglasses. If you’re going to add people on social media at least have some tangible connection to them.
Ransomware is a Real Threat
Ransomware is a real (and really annoying) threat. Ransomware will break into your network through an innocuous back door and then once it has access to your information, lock you out until you agree to the ransom; which can cost you thousands of dollars with no guarantee of recovering your data.
To fight ransomware, we suggest:

Keep your OS up-to-date – there are always patch fixes
Never open .zip files from senders you don’t know
Never click on random links or download files from strangers

Lock it all up
Put passwords on your devices. And not 000000, either. (Kanye, we’re looking at you.) If you leave your phone or laptop easily accessible on a table, who knows what valuable and personal information they can find.
Be a Little Paranoid
Use common sense when you’re online. Follow these three simple rules:

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is
If it looks like it’s probably a bad idea, it’s a bad idea
If someone is asking for personal information, don’t give it to them

Get a VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an encryption tunnel between you and your online behavior. A VPN hides your identity and location, and your information is encrypted.
Check for the https://
Websites with an SSL Certificate, if the website has a https:// URL, encrypts data coming and going to the site. Anything without the https:// risks the chance of getting compromised. Don’t give websites without an https:// any personal information including online shopping.
Be Mindful
If you’re working at a coffee shop or at a cafe, you’re on a public Wi-Fi network. Whatever you’re free to do, so is someone else. Don’t leave yourself open to hackers while shopping online using an unsecured Wi-Fi network (unless you’re using a VPN).
These are just a few of the tips and tricks we’ll be sharing throughout October. If you’ve got a tip, you’d like us to share, hit us up on Twitter or Facebook. For everything else, check the Golden Frog blog

Seize a Rare Second Chance to Pass the Email Privacy Act

At Golden Frog، Blog، ECPA، Email Privacy Act، Our Insights، United States Legislation، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

The Email Privacy Act we brought to your attention in past blog posts has been revived in the House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The bill will provide warrant protections, requiring all law enforcement agents who seek access to emails, chats or online traded messages from companies like Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Apple or any other major electronic message or cloud provider for a person’s data to first obtain a probable cause warrant.
As Vice President for Policy at the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) Chris Calabrese explains, the Electronic Communications Privacy Act has not seen significant revisions since the late eighties, which puts U.S. law leaps and bounds behind Internet advancement. 
Golden Frog has renewed our commitment to the coalition with our signature on a letter in support of the bill, as it is virtually indistinguishable from H.R. 699. The full content of the letter to the Armed Services Committee is available here, but some notable inclusions are: 

The Act updates the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), the law that sets standards for government access to private internet communications, to reflect internet users’ reasonable expectations of privacy with respect to emails, texts, notes, photos, and other sensitive information stored in “the cloud.” 

The bill would end ECPA’s arbitrary “180-day rule,” which permits email communications to be obtained without a warrant after 180 days. The Act would also reject the Department of Justice interpretation of ECPA that the act of opening an email removes it from warrant protection. 

What Can You Do? 
Contact your Senator now and tell them to support the Email Privacy Act and urge that it be included in the final NDAA without change. You can find your senator using this tool, then click the link below their name labeled “Contact” to contact them: Find your Senator now.

For Hola VPN, One Price of Free is Shoddy In-House Security

Blog، cybersecurity، Hola، In the News، VPN، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

As we have explained in the past, free VPNs are, without exception, too good to be true. Google Chrome users who utilize the free VPN extension Hola and manage their cryptocurrencies with MyEtherWallet were told in a tweet on Monday to move their tokens to new accounts lest they lose their funds—that is, if their funds still existed.
The tweet explained that Hola, the VPN service which claims to serve 159 million users with “secure browsing” for free, became compromised for five hours in a cryptocurrency heist specifically targeting MEW users.

We received a report that suggest Hola chrome extension was hacked for approximately 5 hrs and the attack was logging your activity on MEW.
— MyEtherWallet.com (@myetherwallet) July 10, 2018

According to sources who spoke with TechCrunch, the attack appeared to originate from a Russian IP address.
The following day, Hola posted a blog detailing the attack; they explained that hackers compromised the company’s Google Chrome Store account, whereupon the perpetrator uploaded a fake version of the extension rigged with a JavaScript injection. The rogue app re-directed all MEW users who were not using incognito mode to the hacker’s counterfeit phishing website aimed to garner information about MEW accounts. Hola told users they secured their Chrome Store account and replaced the fake app with a legitimate version, but not before the hackers got away with an unknown, untraceable amount of digital coinage.
Hola went on to perform a bit of victim blaming with the declaration, “We will work with MEW and others in the ecosystem on standards that will make Crypto wallets safer from these forms of attacks.” A not-so-subtle suggestion that the online wallets were responsible for Hola’s inability to safeguard their own Chrome Store account.
Such rhetoric feels on par with a company who injects ads into browsers and sells its userbase’s bandwidth to enable its own botnet.
MEW also makes it abundantly clear they absolve themselves of accountability to their users, reminding people they are not a bank, and when a user visits the site, a pop-up warns, “You and only you are responsible for your security.”

Netizens should take this experience to heart; users who arm themselves against phishers and scammers—as well as invest in a reputable VPN service who likewise invests in user privacy and security—are much better equipped to avoid becoming a future casualty of cyber marauders.

VyprVPN Shakes Off China’s Latest One-Two Punch Blocking Attempt

Blog، China، VPN Blocking، خرید اوپن وی پی ان، خرید فیلترشکن، خرید وی پی ان، وی پی ان تبلت، وی پی ان لینوکس، وی پی ان موبایل، وی پی ان ویندوز فون

The Chinese government began blocking VyprVPN connections for the third time this month on the night of June 24th at 10pm CST, then made another attempt around 2am CST the morning of June 25th. When our dedicated team of engineers—who work in-house—received the late-night alert, they located the source of the block and made the necessary adjustments to quickly restore service.
We anticipate China may issue more blocking attempts as Party Day draws near; July 1st is the birthday of the Communist Party. There have been reports that some veteran soldiers of the Chinese military are protesting, giving Chinese authorities incentive to crack down on recent news and Internet freedoms in general. The connection activity chart below illustrates the impact of China’s latest attempts to block VyprVPN and how we implemented our resolution in an efficient manner.

Stay Updated
If you have any questions or residual issues accessing VyprVPN from China (or any other location), contact our customer support team. You can also view the following page for ongoing status updates on VyprVPN in China.
Press Inquiries: If you’re a reporter or news outlet seeking additional details about the situation in China and/or VyprVPN’s current status, please send an email to [email protected].
