VPN

What are your opinions,  uses, or whatever on these? I guess I don't even know enough to ask decent questions....but is one worth using? And if worth using, which one?

Virtual Private Network just in case somebody thought I mistyped VP9...

My experience with a vpn is if security is a top priority then yes. If not then don't bother, generally slower, does not allow sites to use your location so things like the weather and mapping sites take more effort to use each time you use them. I have to use one for certain work product and it can be a real pain with some programs. Some will not function at all for me on VPN.

I have one set up to access my AutoCAD at the office. Without a screaming internet connection it's pretty rough. If I have more than 20 minutes worth of work to do, it's better I just drive to the office. I have it for home sick or home with the kids situations where I still need access to my workstation.

So it sounds like another shyt can idea as far as I am concerned then....good to know before wasting any cash on the idea.

I use Malware bytes and was using Avast. The Avast pop ups were annoying. A bro turned me on to these guys..so I'm on the free trial  https://www.eset.com/us/newyear/?CMP=knc-inmkt-Bing-G_S-US-BR-C-Nod32_B&bkw=eset nod32 antivirus&gcr=81363884550140&bcp306018933&bag=7011117606&msclkid=7dfe0466b13f1f02d99d5ea53ee826bb&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=us_b2c_search_b_eset-nod32_a_gen_exact&utm_term=eset nod32 antivirus&utm_content=exact&gclid=CIK9i82ontoCFcWVxQIdsAkGvA&gclsrc=ds
