I’ve been using NordVPN for a few years to protect my identity and data on a range of devices (notebook, tablet, cell phone, etc.) when out & about using public Wi-Fi access points, and for accessing geo-location locked streaming services and web sites in other countries. It is relatively inexpensive, easy to use, and has worked well for me. The Observer has recently reviewed NordVPN here.

LastPass, one of the best free Password Managers is no longer free to use across multiple platforms, as of March 2021. Now you need to choose between either computer or mobile platforms to continue using the free option, thereby negating one of its major benefits – cross platform syncronisation. I’ve since chosen to pay to continue with LastPass, however should you want to convert to another Password Manager, The Verge published a useful article here to assist you with that process .

C|Net have selected LastPass as the current best free password manager. I have used this software for a couple of years now on my Windows, Mac OS, Android and iOS platforms to manage and coordinate login credentials for around 200 different online accounts. I now only have one pasword to remember and LastPass automatically logs me into my accounts with different complex passwords from any of my devices, making my online prescence a lot more secure. Highly recommended. Find out more in the C|Net article here.
