Maximizing Privacy Online

If you have ever taken an interest in retaining your anonymity and privacy online, you have almost certainly seen the acronyms HTTPS, VPN, and Tor come up.

Maintain your Privacy Online

The expression “you can run, but you can’t hide” has never been truer than on the Internet today. Protecting your privacy seems harder than ever with companies like Google and Facebook tracking your every move online and U.S. laws like the Freedom Act giving the government broader access to your browser and search history. And if that isn’t enough, frequent data breaches have resulted in your most sensitive information being made public on the dark web.

It’s not all doom and gloom, though, a variety of companies have dedicated themselves to providing everyday users with the tools they need to protect their right to privacy. In this article, we will walk you through some of the tools that we use to protect our privacy.

4. Wire
5. Privacy.com

Note: We are not sponsored by any of these tools and make absolutely no money by endorsing them. We are simply spreading the word about privacy tools we love to use.
