SYS 095: Why do you need a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?

🎙Steve explains Virtual Private Networks and how they can prevent you from getting banned on Facebook. They are apps or software on your browser that tricks the internet into thinking you are located somewhere you are not. The advantages of this, aside from keeping your location secret, are numerous.   KEY TAKEAWAYS 💡VPNs encrypt all the data that you send from your device. This is an extra layer of security in countries where a standard level of security is unavailable. 💡Facebook detects your location and flags up a security alert if you try to log in from two countries at the same time or even within a close timeframe. 💡 When you need to delegate access to your Facebook to your staff, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) will trick the social media platform into thinking that they're in the same location as you when they log in. 💡If your staff ever need to use an Internet café, a VPN is a security essential. 💡NordVPN and TunnelBear are two recommended apps that Steve uses. BEST MOMENTS 2:15 - 💬 ‘You can get yourself inadvertently banned or locked out from Facebook whenever someone tries to log in from another country.’ 2:59 - 💬 ‘The Virtual Private Network can add a layer of security. It could encrypt all of the information sent to and from someone's computer, and therefore, it stops people from being able to hack into your computer and maybe steal your passwords.’ 7:31 - 💬 ‘Speed is the only negative side I can think of with using a Virtual Private Network because it throttles the speed of connecting to the internet..and therefore, we use them selectively.’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Facebook Group: Facebook.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/ Website: www.SystemizeYourSuccess.com LinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/SystemsAndOutsourcing/ YouTube: YouTube.com/DrSteveDay ABOUT THE HOST Steve used to be a slave to his business, but when he moved to Sweden in 2015, he was forced to change how he worked.
