Internet en Afrique : Comment les gouvernements le ferment-ils ?
▻https://www.bbc.com/afrique/region-47765394

Pas de Facebook, Twitter ou WhatsApp.C’est ce qui devient de plus en plus courant dans certains pays africains, où les gouvernements ont périodiquement fermé l’Internet ou bloqué les plateformes de médias sociaux. Cela fait un an que le Tchad a bloqué l’accès aux sites de médias sociaux les plus populaires. Le Soudan en avait limité l’accès pendant les manifestations antigouvernementales, tout comme l’avaient fait les autorités du Zimbabwe. Les militants des droits numériques disent que c’est de la (...)

En bannissant les publicités de VPN en Chine, Google s’assure un avenir (plus) radieux dans l’Empire du Milieu

Google a décidé de mettre un terme aux publicités de produits VPN diffusées auprès des utilisateurs chinois. Un choix qui renforce la censure numérique opérée par les autorités du pays, et évite au géant de la tech’ de perdre un marché lucratif pour une « simple histoire » de serveurs permettant de contourner la censure. Si Google a été contraint de se retirer du marché chinois en 2010, la faute à une politique de censure numérique trop restrictive de la part des autorités du pays, la firme californienne (...)

Censorship is closely related to politics. The annual global ranking of Internet freedom clearly illustrates this dependence. States that violate human rights also block undesirable websites or block access to the global network.Only 13 of the 65 countries analyzed by the Freedom House researchers do not interfere with the information freedom of their citizens. Most of the rest of the world’s Internet users can access blocked websites only via #vpn services. Residents of China have hard times with this as the hunt for unlicensed VPNs has recently increased there.Chronology of restrictionsBack in 2008, YouTube was blocked in China. A year later in 2009, Facebook, Twitter, and all Google services were blocked. In 2014, access to Instagram was blocked. Chinese authorities said that all (...)

Fritz !Box mit einem VPN-Service verbinden ? Warum das nicht geht.

AVM unterstützt bei den Fritz!box Geräten eine “VPN Verbindung zu einem Firmennetzwerk“, was damit gemeint ist, dass sich die Fritz!box zu Hause über eine VPN-Verbindung zu einer anderen Fritz!box in einem kleinen Firmennetzwerk verbinden kann.

Dabei wird das von der Fritz!box verwendete VPN-Protokoll “IPsec x-auth” verwendet. Praktisch gesehen nutzt dieses Protokoll aber kein professioneller VPN-Anbieter. Darum ist es auch nicht möglich die Fritz!box direkt mit einem VPN-Service zu verbinden.

It looks like Facebook was not the only one abusing Apple’s system for distributing employee-only apps to sidestep the App Store and collect extensive data on users. Google has been running an app called Screenwise Meter, which bears a strong resemblance to the app distributed by Facebook Research that has now been barred by Apple, TechCrunch has learned. In its app, Google invites users aged 18 and up (or 13 if part of a family group) to download the app by way of a special code and (...)

Desperate for data on its competitors, Facebook has been secretly paying people to install a “Facebook Research” VPN that lets the company suck in all of a user’s phone and web activity, similar to Facebook’s Onavo Protect app that Apple banned in June and that was removed in August. Facebook sidesteps the App Store and rewards teenagers and adults to download the Research app and give it root access to network traffic in what may be a violation of Apple policy so the social network can decrypt and analyze their phone activity, a TechCrunch investigation confirms.

Two Chinese internet users are currently facing punishment for doing what an estimated 1-3% of people living in mainland China do every day: access the global internet.

Among other methods, many internet users in China depend on Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) to skirt or circumvent China’s “Great Firewall”, the robust filtering system that blocks sensitive information and overseas websites from China’s domestic network.

While #VPN use is permitted in certain contexts — mainly for government agencies and large private companies — China’s vigorous internet control regime has in recent years put significant resources towards preventing internet users from using these and other similar tools.

Who’s Really Behind the World’s Most Popular Free VPNs?

After big names like Whatsapp, Snapchat, and Facebook, VPNs are the most searched-for applications in the world. “VPN” is the second-highest non-branded search term behind “games”, and free apps completely dominate the search results. The most popular applications have amassed hundreds of millions of installs between them worldwide, yet there seems to be very little attention paid to the companies behind them, and very little scrutiny done on behalf of the marketplaces hosting them.When someone opts to install a #vpn on their device, they are essentially choosing to trust their data with that company instead of their ISP or wireless carrier. The VPN provider can inspect your traffic, modify it, log it, and if their policy permits, send or sell it elsewhere. Given the potential for this data (...)

This regulatory rollback combined with major data breaches at large companies has consumers more concerned than ever about their digital safety. The cybersecurity app market is booming to keep up with the new demand for apps to keep consumers safe. There are plenty of apps that provide encrypted messaging, disguised phone numbers, secure password management, and easy-to-use virtual private networks (VPNs). As with any flooding of a market, it is more important than ever to have a keen eye on quality when shopping for an app.The cybersecurity app market has become just as focused on the market share as any other app genre.

Mit Hilfe der VPN-Technologie (Virtual Private Network) können Sie über das Internet sichere Netzwerkverbindungen zwischen mehreren FRITZ!Boxen bzw. Computern mit FRITZ!Fernzugang, Android- sowie iOS-Geräten und einer FRITZ!Box herstellen.

Da die FRITZ!Box das standardisierte IPSec-Verfahren unterstützt, kann sie auch mit zahlreichen VPN-Lösungen anderer Hersteller verwendet werden. Die FRITZ!Box unterstützt allerdings nicht das von Windows Phone 10 / 8.1 für VPN-Verbindungen verwendete IKEv2-Protokoll. Es ist daher derzeit nicht möglich, mit Windows Phone eine VPN-Verbindung zur FRITZ!Box herzustellen.

VPN is a technology that is used for #security; however, it degrades the speed of the internet to a certain level. But with some VPNs, you have to face high fluctuation of speed which occurs mostly with the inefficient VPN service or sometimes on the reputable VPN services too.It is worth noting that the legitimate VPN providers will generally give you an adequate speed with a slight reduction, mostly 5% to 6% of the regular internet speed. This reduction in speed is due to the encryption process of your internet data which a VPN implements to make everything safe and secure. Yet, there are various causes of speed reduction when there is a major drop down.There is not a pinpoint answer to the question that, does VPN slow down internet speed. But yes, there are probably factors which (...)
