To hide your internet activity or your IP address, use a virtual private network

Using unsecured public Wi-Fi networks can be risky, as hackers can intercept your data and compromise your device. A virtual private network (VPN) offers protection by encrypting your online activity and routing it through secure servers around the world. VPNs provide privacy, allow you to spoof your location, and help bypass internet censorship. It's important to choose a reputable VPN service that offers features like kill switch and no-logging guarantee. Free VPNs may lack security and may even harvest your data. Although VPNs may slightly reduce internet speed, they offer essential protection in today's connected world. However, some websites may block VPN traffic.

Okta has issued a warning about an ongoing campaign that uses fraudulent login requests to conceal malicious activity. The campaign involves routing login attempts through the mobile devices and browsers of everyday users, making it difficult to identify and combat the attacks. The attackers use various techniques, including the TOR network and proxy services, to mask their IP addresses. They then use these devices in credential-stuffing attacks, trying to gain unauthorized access to online accounts by using login credentials obtained from previous breaches. Okta advises users to be cautious when installing apps or enrolling in services and provides guidance for network administrators to protect against credential-stuffing attacks.

China maintains strict internet censorship, with users unable to access websites such as Google without using a virtual private network (VPN). VPN software has faced increasing difficulties in circumventing the censorship during the ongoing political event. The use of VPN without government authorization is illegal in China. The country's state-controlled media and social media platforms have also heightened the suppression of sensitive topics. President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of the state's control over the internet.
