Surfshark, one of the industry's best VPN services, has finally launched its Apple TV app, so streamers can easily unblock their favorite shows without sacrificing privacy or security.

So, for Surfshark subscribers at least, it's time to say goodbye to daunting installation processes—enjoying international content libraries ..read more

ClearVPN has just released a new more intuitive design across all its apps. It's the second time the Ukraine VPN has undergone a major revamp to help its users, in and outside the country, to browse the open internet with improved security.

With this new interface, available for its iOS, macOS, Android, and Windows applications, the team at MacPaw now seeks to make secure online journeys a "one-tap experience." Cl ..read more

Is your provider using the latest encryption to make sure that everything you do online is private or are they leaking your data like a sieve?  Here at Te ..read more

Security software providers and citizens breathed a sigh of relief on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, when the Kremlin announced no further plans "yet" to block VPNs in Russia.  Russian authorities have long been battling against the use of these circumventing tools as they allow citizens to bypass strict government-imposed online restrictions. However, these efforts haven't always achieved the desired results—for instance, VPN downloads in Russia have skyrocketed since the conflict in Ukraine began. The announcement comes after months of speculation over the new measures expected to targ ..read more
