Is the Internet SPYING on YOU?
In this video, we're going to cover how your Internet Provider is spying on you by monitoring all of your traffic in and out of their network as well as what you look for using their DNS Servers. Learn what actions you can take to prevent your DNS traffic from being tracked by your service providers servers and how using a Virtual Private Nework (or VPN) can encrypt all of your data so your ISP can't see where your going and what your doing! We're going to be discussing this, and more, using plain, easy to understand language and examples.
