#Fire Drill – #China Style!
20 May
#Fire drill! #China style! 📣 Because we take your security seriously – we use real #smoke bombs to stink the building up, train you to go through usually locked doors, and ask that you guess when a fire starts because we have no smoke alarms. But you know, security! At least now maybe they’ll stop padlocking all the outside doors at night 😂

INTRODUCTION
Disturbing trends in the VPN industry
We have noticed a disturbing trend in the VPN industry. More and more VPN providers are promising an “anonymous” or “no logging” VPN service while providing minimal, or zero, transparency about how they actually handle your data. These so called “anonymous” VPN providers fall into two categories:
- They advertise an “anonymous service” on their website but the fine print in their privacy policy suggests they log a significant amount of customer data.
- They advertise an “anonymous service” on their website, but their privacy policy simply says “we don’t log” without further explanation or detail.
We aren’t the only ones who question the “anonymous” or “no logging” VPN providers:
[i]f someone tells you ‘you will be completely anonymous, [because] you’ll have VPN running all the time’, that’s a lie.
– SpiderOak, VPN, privacy and anonymity
…you have absolutely no way to know for sure how safe a “No logs” claim really is. Trusting your life to a no logs VPN service it is like gambling with your life in the Russian roulette
– Wipe Your Data, “No logs” EarthVPN user arrested after police finds logs
[a]nyone who runs a large enough IT infrastructure knows that running that infrastructure with ZERO logs is impossible.
– Spotflux, Debunking the Myths of VPN Service Providers
The “anonymous” or “no logging” VPN Providers have diverted privacy-conscious VPN users to focus on the false promise of anonymity instead of focusing on what really matters when choosing a VPN provider: transparency, trust, ease of use, performance and reliability. We hope dispelling some of these common myths will lead to a more transparent and frank discussion about privacy in the VPN industry and on the Internet in general. . . . .

How to Find Your Wireless Password without the Router
27 Nov
I ran into this problem today, so I figured I would share the information with you 🙂
If you need to find the wireless password and you don’t have access to the Router (I.e. you are at an extended family’s house like me :P) Here is how you go about locating that.
- Enter 192.168.1.1 into the URL box in your browser. That’s it. No www or http://. Just those numbers.
- It’s going to ask you for a username and password. Usually that’s admin and admin for both username and password. Sometimes it’ll be something like admin and password. It always works with just admin for me.
- Now it should bring up a page with all of your internet’s information- name, router information, etc. Somewhere there will be a place for Internet Security (or something similar). That is going to have your password!
- Mostly, just fiddle around with the page it pulls up, looking at the different tabs and options, until you find security with the password’s information.
Worked for me; hope it helps you!!
