We can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi or cable. It is true that the first option has gained a lot of weight in recent years. We have more and more devices that are compatible with wireless networks and that allows us to avoid having to use cable. Now, why will Ethernet never cease to exist? In this article, we are going to talk about it and how in the coming years we could even see an increase in its use.
Protecting our accounts and devices is essential to prevent unwanted access, which can steal personal data or read confidential information. For this, we can use the passwords, but the truth is that this method is not so reliable if we take into account the possibilities that an attacker has to steal the keys. That's where multi-factor authentication comes in. In this article, we explain why it has been triggered and why it is so important to configure it.
The switch towards the digital world is leading us towards profound changes in the way we work. One of them is remote work, and another is that we increasingly operate with files in the cloud. As sometimes we no longer work in person at our company headquarters, we have to find new ways to communicate. This is because each of us is in different places, and there are days when we cannot meet in the company meeting room. Then you have to look for alternative solutions to communicate such as calls and video calls. Today we are going to explain how we can safely make a call or video call on Skype.
Everyone when browsing the Internet, working in the cloud, or downloading files wants to be safe. That means that in order to be protected we are going to have to take certain measures. For this reason, we are going to require the use of specific software such as antivirus, anti-malware, and firewall programs. The protagonist of today more specifically is going to be the antivirus. In case you don't know, Microsoft in its operating systems offers a solution of this type. Surely you have heard of it, it is called Windows Defender and includes antivirus and a free firewall. However, sometimes doubts assail us whether we need another antivirus or Windows Defender is enough to protect our computer.
VPN services are the order of the day, users are increasingly jealous of their privacy and security on the Internet, and they make use of these types of services quite regularly. One of the most recurrent questions asked by users is whether it is advisable to use a VPN to play online games over the Internet, and that is, depending on where the VPN server and the game server are located, you might not notice any differences, or notice a fairly significant increase in latency. Is it a good idea to use VPN services to play games?
When we as Internet users browse the Internet, we are exposed to malware, viruses, Trojans, computer worms, and more. Cybercriminals seek to profit from their attacks, and apart from the aforementioned, one of the most powerful and lucrative attacks for them is ransomware. Thanks to the ransoms paid by victims to recover their data, it is a very profitable business for these cybercriminals. In this article, we are going to determine if ransomware can affect our cloud backup.
We are going to explain why the domain name resolution error appears when using a VPN and what we can do to fix it. This problem can appear when we try to establish a connection, but as we will see it has different causes. This error appears in Windows and we can solve it in a simple and fast way.
When we install a firewall on a system, we mainly have two policies that we can follow, permissive policy (we allow everything except what we want to block) or restrictive policy (block everything except what we specifically want to allow). Currently, on the Internet, we have a large number of lists of malicious IP addresses that we can block, with the aim that possible attacks carried out on us are blocked directly in the firewall. Do you want to know the best lists of malicious IP addresses that you can use in your firewall?
SSH stands for Secure Shell. It is a protocol whose function is to offer remote access to a server. The main peculiarity is that this access is secure since all the information is encrypted. This prevents it from being leaked and a third party from seeing that data. We are going to explain what this protocol consists of, how it works and we will also talk about how we can use it in Windows.
In order to surf the Internet, different protocols, services, and programs come into play. For example, we will need a router that offers a connection to the computer or mobile, as well as a browser with which to search for pages. But for that to be possible there is much more and one of the most important points is the DNS protocol. We are going to explain how they work, why they are important, and in what way or why we can change them.
