Comcast is now injecting code into Browsers -

Today I'll tell you a story. A company history that foreigners speak of whispering jealous. The trophy boy of America. The superhero company that gives the Internet at all, at a known price for its customer service ranked top amazing affordable. This company is Comcast. Okay, see something wrong yet?

Well, it's not a secret that Comcast is in many ways a horrible business. In 2014, they were voted just as the "Worst Company in America". public relations disasters are like bread and butter for this company, with numerous public showing poor customer service and the public reveals describing the detailed review of the business retention specialists use Harang for their clients. To put the icing on the cake, the company has managed to pull a man to complain to receive the service to poor clients.

But wait! There is more!

Comcast now planning on inject JavaScript code into their customer data flows . This code will display overlays on web pages that remind Internet customers thirsty for their data capitalization thresholds. Comcast described these overlays as unwelcome "in-browser notifications." Wonderful!

Another interesting possibility is an overlay that indicates that your modem may need to be replaced. Yeah, you know that they gave you that already looked, felt and acted 5 years too old? Unfortunately, this code injection is a function, or a checklist that you can withdraw when configuring your service. No, he's here to stay, and they do not want you to do anything about it. the web page of the policy itself even seems very innocent.

There are many things wrong with the injection of data. These notifications in browsers might not have limits as they may obscure your content, slow web pages, or even break the Web pages themselves. or, if you're aesthetically inclined, they could simply make everything look like a panel display of trash.

In a way, this data injection is a reminder of how much power Internet service providers may have with your Internet connection. They can snoop on you, read your data, and use this data on the market for you, adjust prices, and have their way with you.

Some would say it is the responsibility of the consumer to protect companies or that it is not difficult to get silly things like annoying ads. In some ways, this is very true. Using a premium service as TorGuard powerful VPN VPN is very simple. It only requires connection to a single client. He even cross-platform mobile application availability- included! TorGuard VPN service maintains fast speeds while it encrypts your traffic, while concealing what you do from a nosy ISP.

Again, if companies like Comcast did not seek to expand their business into possible with data caps and therefore the code injection procedures to implement, monitor and improve their models, monetization we do not have to worry about anything in the first place. Well, perhaps corrupt governments, hackers, region locks-OK! There are still many reasons we need VPN.

This is the age of internet censorship and great firewall, the age of the injection data stream, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood ISP. Protect yourself while you can with TorGuard VPN.

confusion new privacy policy Snapchat -

When I heard of Snapchat few years back, I knew that people use the application to send another explicit images. Many people still use for this reason, and in many ways it is the perfect app for sending pictures, you may not want the other person dress.

Instead of sending a picture in a text message, and instantly regret it, users can stay without guilt and content that their images have disappeared after a certain period of time. And for most, that's how the application worked since its inception. Since the application has become so popular, many users simply use the application to send selfies harmless as a way to communicate with friends. In a sense, it's like Instagram, but private chat program.

Many of these images might not be the most visually appealing, but it's part of the charm. Users like Snapchat because their images disappear. This is why it is so disappointing that Snapchat changed their privacy policy to allow them to store and distribute pictures of the users if the company chooses to do so. The new privacy policy mainly affects the new integration of live history, despite widespread allegations of other well known sites. However, I can guarantee you that most people who use this new feature could expect their photos to remove similar servers when they use other functions of the application.

privacy policy update Snapchat comes in a new application of the update released on October 28. To download the latest version, users can accept the new terms of confidentiality. By accepting the new terms, users place live history photo global Snapchat, perpetual, transferable and transferable license-free "host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, modify, publish, create derivative works from , publicly perform, distribute, syndicate, promote, display, and publicly display the content in any form and all media or distribution methods (now known or later developed. "as Snapchat does not fail to mention that some services can make Snapchats main function to delete images after a useless timed limit.

new Story Live functions allow users to submit Snapchats to display thousands of users. It is similar to send something Instagram, with a #hashtag -except it is curated and selected. for those who are concerned about private Snapchats, what they have said in the past is still relevant. he points out that "once [they] detect that all beneficiaries have seen a message, [they] automatically deleted from our servers."

Like all forms of collected user data, Snapchat most likely benefit from this change by making more money from advertising. the main novelty that appears next to the change of privacy gives advertisers the ability to post ads between living stories. While change privacy n ' no impact Snapchat users using to send private photos, there is still concern for users expect pictures sent by Live Story function. These photos will be retained by the company as data instead expire after 24 hour visibility that the function.

another new update of the privacy policy is how they connect information. This new log information collects the pages you visit before sailing to Snapchat. That said, this seems to refer to pages in Snapchat itself. Since the policy includes a wide range of information and does not specify exactly which service or pages, it certainly seems to be a scary gray area. This has led many users to be skeptical, or just confused on the new company's privacy policy.

As with all free services that rely on you get tons of data and sending around, you should not expect total privacy. We have described other suppliers as Hola VPN who sold bandwidth users and everyone knows how much Facebook and Google stores information to target users with ads. Snapchat is not so different after all.

We created some great resources on how to protect your privacy online through search engines and other methods.

Questionable Web Censorship Law Turkey

Questionable Web Censorship Law Turkey -


The Turkish Internet censorship program blasted again November 13 banning and Reddit blocking Turkish citizens to access the site. No official reason was given for the ban of the site, but many have speculated that it was the result of the Authority of Turkey Telecom. This entity has the power to ban websites in the Internet censorship Law No. 5651 since 07. They can block any site deemed illegal or dangerous if it contains pirated material, pornography or terrorist activities.

The Telecom Authority of Turkey has finally managed to speak and confirm the block in their statement: "After technical analysis and legal scrutiny law Nr 5651, ADMINISTRATION measure. taken from this website (reddit.com) in accordance with the decision Nr. 40.05.01.2015.-252804 dated 11.13.2015 of the Presidency of telecommunications and communication. "

This is not the first time Turkey has blocked or censored social media that we have covered many stories where Turkey has blocked social networking sites to share news of bombings or another controversial and explosive new content. in 2011 Turkey has blocked 3700 websites only, and in 2014, Internet censorship led to demonstrations and riots leading to the intervention of the live police. However, despite all these cases censorship, each user using a VPN as TorGuard VPN was able to access content regardless of restrictions. a VPN encrypts and hides an IP address through access a remote server through a virtual tunnel.

TorGuard powers one of the most efficient security approaches double layer for users in censored countries such as China and Turkey. by integrating a stealth proxy in a stealth VPN service, users can browse, flow, and use their Internet blameless of deep packet inspection. When using TorGuard VPN traffic is encrypted, the IP is hidden, and the presence of an active VPN is invisible.

While Reddit is active in Turkey from the moment (Imgur is still banned), there is no guarantee that it will always be. Restrictions tighten, and if Turkey follows the combination of some countries, entire sites like Google can be blocked and the content can begin to be permanently blocked altogether.

The Brazilian judge prohibits WhatsApp for 24 hours (new)

The Brazilian judge prohibits WhatsApp for 24 hours (new) -

Yesterday, Judge Marcel Maia Montalvo issued a temporary ban on WhatsApp to facilitate the progress of a legal case in progress.

here in TorGuard we saw these careless shotgun approaches hundreds of times governments seek to disturb the privacy and the personal safety of everyone just to find a few. It is always to the detriment of thousands of people using the legitimate application that lose their favorite service platform.

This is the second time Montalvo issued bans on social media platforms. The first time the court has managed to imprison a Facebook exec.

However, in both cases, Facebook and WhatsApp, platforms can not provide unencrypted information from the encryption end to end (only people who are communication can read the messages). In this particular example, and many others, end to end encryption and use of these popular platforms to facilitate communication caused many governments and businesses to find faults in the system that provides power users and not organizations or nosy.

users running on the IP block on WhatsApp was able to find success using a VPN service as TorGuard. Since a mask and VPN encrypts and change an IP address, it can help to circumvent an IP block like this.

Today, it looks like a call was placed by letting users access WhatsApp again. President Claudio Paolillo explained that "court order is discriminatory and disproportionate action against a digital tool, although some use in the practice of crimes serve to benefit the communication of millions of people."

If you want to avoid blocks like these completely, make sure to use TorGuard VPN to unlock all communications services and media worldwide.

China to tighten control over Internet Censorship

China to tighten control over Internet Censorship -

The Chinese government has become increasingly aggressive in its lock activities and control in China users their great Internet firewall. Now the plans of China to strengthen web censorship will continue with a new law coming into effect next month, which regulates all content posted by foreign companies seeking to do business in the country.

South China Morning Post of Hong Kong, or SCMP, the newspaper reported Tuesday that the "Regulation for the line management Publishing services" shall apply to "creative works" such as games, entertainment, comics, video and audio recordings.

Starting in March, foreign companies are not allowed to publish "creative" works online in China without the approval of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio , film and Television.

other big last year VPN vendors have been completely blocked in China, and numerous proxy services. Despite all this, the Chinese government has gone to deny that the great firewall exists. This is not censorship to completely block websites, alter information, or hide information. It is simply a way to "manage" the Internet, they said.

This management is what the Chinese government wants a government-wide country-control, known as the "sovereignty of the Internet," on the web. The great firewall was an underground movement of the government, but we must not delude ourselves. It's censorship. And they want it to become even more widespread so they can continue to control what information Chinese citizens can access from various social networking sites, online encyclopedias, or other popular sites like Google .

traditional VPNs and proxy services use to be reliable for Chinese citizens to access the content they want. Using a virtual private network VPN as TorGuard is still an effective way to change not only an IP address, but hide the underlying outbound traffic as well. However, most VPN providers do not provide reliable access to China since China became active in hindering Socks proxies and SSH. It is estimated that 1-3% of users in China use VPN services as TorGuard to circumvent restrictions that censorship is about 1 million users. A considerable amount indeed, one that is too much for China.

Despite the impending restrictions and blockades, TorGuard VPN is always the best VPN for China, as it has Stealth VPN servers and a proxy Shadowsocks obscuring Internet traffic. TorGuard VPN is also a great way to access popular media sites with our new function servers in the dedicated IP address and special media. strong encryption 256-bit AES and a 2048 bit RSA key, provide an important military base quality for all future efforts.

Best VPN service Anonymous. What really is Anonymous?

Best VPN service Anonymous. What really is Anonymous? -

During the last year, it became known that all VPN services actually live in their marketing demand "anonymous VPN" service. It is important for consumers to do their research and find out what the anonymous VPN services do take privacy seriously. Here we will review some of the key questions to ask when looking for an anonymous VPN.

1. Do you keep any logs that allow you or a third party to an IP address and a timestamp to a user of your service? If so, exactly what information do you hold

Answer: TorGuard VPN does not keep all the papers, period. TorGuard anonymous vpn connection sever logs are purged on a daily basis because we do not keep them big enough hard drives to store all that data. Proxy torrent VPN connection and newspaper TorGuard not associate an IP address to every request because there are hundreds of users sharing the same connection at some point. Since there is not kept or stored IP logs, it is impossible to identify exactly who used the connection.

Many VPN servers "claim" to be anonymous, but in reality, they keep logs of applications from individual users and tie them to your IP. This completely defeats the purpose of an anonymous VPN service and becomes more of a security threat than a benefit. Make sure that your anonymous VPN provider does not keep detailed logs of use!

2. In which courts your company works and in what exact circumstances you share the information you have with a 3rd party?

Our parent company is based in Panema with secure servers Netherlands, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Canada, UK, and USA .. We do not share any of our users' information with third parties, period. Only in the case of an official court order, we would have to contact a third party. This scenario did not happen, but if it were, we would be forced to explain in more technical terms that we do not keep usage logs.

TorGuard VPN does not provide its users personal information with any third party. You will never receive a third party marketing communication as TorGuard anonymous vpn keeps your identity private. Do your research to make sure your anonymous VPN service provider will actually resist their request for anonymity.
