Slow Internet? Here’s How to Cure That Throttling Headache

Your internet's gone from silky smooth to as slow as a snail? Don't reach for the painkillers just yet - figuring out what's slowing you down and fixing it is the quick fix you've been looking for. Throttling headaches are a regular nuisance for loads of us, and it's not hard to see why. Internet throttling - and it's usually down to your internet service provider (or ISP) - is one of the main culprits here. Throttling will mess up certain online activities like streaming or anything else that chews up a lot of data, because ISPs can deliberately dial back speeds for these services to manage network traffic. So why would a provider want to stifle your connection speed, and what can you do about it? By spotting throttling and taking action, you can get control back over your internet connection. Let's get to the bottom of this and find a solution that works.

How to Send Anonymous Email so You Cant be Tracked

Not too long ago, things took a nasty turn for OpenSea. The NFT giant reported on a major email data breach. They warned all their users that if anyone had shared their emails with OpenSea, they could quickly become a target for some very nasty cyber crooks. In 2022, Marriott International got hit with another big data breach. Hackers swiped a whopping 20GB of their guests' most sensitive data. There are loads of cases just like this. How can you be certain that next time it's not your email data that gets nicked? When you hand over your email address or any other personal info to web platforms or offline businesses like hotels, you are essentially leaving yourself open to having your personal data nicked. Email addresses are top of the list for the most frequently leaked personal details online. To keep your online identity safe and hidden, many users head for anonymous email services. These privacy-focused tools keep your communcations safe and secure - so no one can trace who you are. From sending just a few advertising flyers to nicking your financial details, scammers can give you a whole load of hassle and hit you in the wallet. But that's the least of your worries if the scammers get their hands on your email address. They can easily start digging up more information about you and use that to further their own dodgy plans. And if you use your real email for online signups, you're just begging for a rubbish inbox full of spam - that's just making email management and keeping your personal info safe a total nightmare.

VPN vs VPS – What’s the Real Difference and Which One Do You Need?

Virtual private networks (VPNs) vs virtual private servers (VPS): two anonymously annoying acronymes that are really as opposite as chalk and cheese. Surely, they both have both the virtual and the private in their names, but upon what they are doing, the difference between the two is quite significant. A VPN is a provision that secures your internet traffic with encryption that provides you with a secure online experience and VPS is a virtual machine that runs on physical hardware - a flexible, scalable hosting provision that is ideal when you need a little more control over your online presence.
