Private Web Searching - Use A VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Are you living in a country that monitors your internet activity e.g. "gay searches"?

Private Web Searching: Incognito Google vs VPNs

Incognito Google = I wouldn't trust. Please consider using a VPN which stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN encrypts (hopes to conceal) your internet traffic / web searches and disguises your online identity. This makes it more difficult for third parties / government censorship to track your activities online (in democrat countries your traffic /searches could be seen as legal but for certain governments it as illegal - NO WAY I am supporting terrorists / illegal activity / false news. Searching "lesbian" content: I DO NOT see this as illegal) and steal data.

Beware of some review sites - working with a fab affiliate marketeer he revealed many of their sites reviews were paid for! I am no affiliate marketeer (it would be nice to make some money out of the site, but, I am not :(. In the past, I have worked for a mega lovely independent VPN company Hide My Ass in fab Soho, London, (I loved that they were truly trying to protect GOOD freedom of speech & internet search, and, my mega lovely work colleagues were truly passionate on this). Hide My Ass VPN are now part of AVG, and as I no longer work for them I can't vouch for them. If you are living in an internet censored county consider using a trusted VPN.
