[i][b]Using the Internet without a VPN is like jumping out of a plane without a parachute.[/b][/i]

[b][center]Out of Necessity Learned to Hack[/center][/b]Years ago lived in a complex which had shared WiFi.
Wondered why I had a frustrating low or no WiFi signal to get on the internet. Since learning never had that problem again and dominated the available WiFi signal.


* With available tools learned my neighbors were downloding torrents and streaming movies which took up most of the WiFi bandwidth.

* In another instance, my neighbor wouldn't subscribe for internet service and was tapping into my WiFi without asking me for permission. I blocked all his IP addresses which rendered his computer useless.

* AMAZON - With knowledge gained started to observe subtle signs that I was being Hacked on site. Removed and prevented any financial information from being leaked.

WOW! 馃槸 I sure would have loved some tips from you when I needed it to get some hackers off my computer! No one really talks about this much that I'm aware of. I had really needed help for a long time and couldn't find any.馃様 I'm not using a vpn because I don't want to pay for one, not to mention putting my credit card out there. I don't order anything on line!

@Peaches aww..,sorry peaches. In today's cashless society one needs to be vigilant and aware.

At the gas station I frequent the clerk tried to pull a fast one on me but I caught her just as she was ending her shift and got my money back.

@eyeno I mostly only use cash!馃There was a time when that was best.

@Peaches for the reason I mentioned and taught my son, I'll always ask for a recipt whether cash or not, that's your proof. Without my recipt I wouldn't have gotten my money back.

Yes cash was always better back then.
