5 Steps For You To Use VPN Safely

SHARE TWEET SHARE CORRESPONDENCE

The use of VPN (Computer-generated Private Network) is widespread in large companies. Especially those who have a lot of employees who exertion remotely. This type of system uses the public Internet network to create a private structure with the security of secret writing. Then it has other advantages like a lower cost than a dedicated link.

Simply using a VPN is not enough to ensure safe surfing. We know that more practices are required to take advantage of these virtual private networks. To help you out, we've highlighted 5 key steps to using a VPN safely. Scroll down to read them all

VPN security checklist

Use a lock switch

If your company's VPN connection goes down or fails, computers automatically try to connect to the traditional Internet. This will display all of the data. 

For this motive, it is suggested to use a lock switch. If you lose your Internet connection, all associated software and applications will shut down to guarantee that the grid is not unprotected.

Invest in respectable firewalls

Firewalls are nothing extra than sanctuary devices for individuals who access the Internet. They consist of an inner and an external network and are intended to protect the network from intruders.

 

Hence, it is important to have this type of protection in any VPN. You should also consider dedicated VPN service providers.

 

Don't forget staff training

In order to guarantee the security of your VPN connection, contrary to the opinion of many, it is not enough to invest in the latest technology. In fact, bestowing to a Kaspersky study, around 33% of cybersecurity incidents occur due to human error.

 

For this reason, it is significant to promote high quality employee training to ensure that all digital security guidelines are followed. From creating secure access passwords to setting up rules of conduct for access to certain websites and software.

 

All of these can give the service more protection.

 

Beware of DNS leaks

The Domain Name Server is nothing more than the service that translates URLs into an IP address. When you use a VPN, it automatically connects to a secure DNS offered by the service provider.

 

However, from time to time the processor may use a normal DNS connection, which compromises the security of the network. Hence, it is better to look for servers that have built-in DNS leak protection.

 

This avoids problems with leaks.

 

Change the protocol

When configuring the VPN protocol, it is important to choose the most suitable one. In general, PPTP and L2TP are the best. That's because the former uses 128-bit encryption and is the fastest of the protocols. L2TP, on the other needle, has a higher level of security and is therefore slower.

 

On top of that, there is OpenVPN which is considered one of the best protocols due to the speed of disconnection recovery.

Deployment on Mars: mapping and location tutorial

Image
This is the fourth in a sequence of blog about the open source Mars Rover. Most of the concepts discussed here apply to other wheeled robots as well. You can read part 1, 2 and 3 at these relations. walk in the street When I send my Mars Rover on a mission to the grocery store or to drop off another robot at a co-worker's house during quarantine and my cellular connection is not good or I don't want to interfere it, I need the robot to drive autonomously . To do this, the robot must understand where it is in the world and where the obstacles are. In recent years, it has gotten pretty straightforward. We will follow the steps to configure the two most used packages for 2D SLAM and localization, gmapping and amcl, in order to produce high fidelity maps of the robot setting. Use SLAM to make a map, then use location to continually update the robot's location after that map is created. Don't go anywhere without a rock solid odometry The package that we will see is

Freedom Robotics Guide to Cellular Routers for Robot Connectivity

Image
At Freedom Robotics, we have worked with hundreds of robotic customers using LTE connectivity to implement robotic applications. Based on the use case, budget, and reliability requirements, the solutions they have implemented fall into three general categories: Cheap - LTE USB Flash Drive Medium cost: entry-level commercial LTE routers High cost - Reliable high-end routers for business options Here we compile category specific routers that we have implemented for our clients with great success. Low cost LTE USB flash drives Huawei_CellularConnectiity_FreedomRobotics-1 While not a hardened router solution, USB drives (like the Huawei E8372h-517 shown here) are common in robotics. We have seen fleets of robots with this class of router that provide decent connection quality. They are also inexpensive enough to add as a backup or in addition to the other solutions listed here. Specs:   150Mbps downlink and 50Mbps uplink - very fast for an LTE USB dial-up internet You

Revitalization Amid Tech

  Intel Chief Gelsinger Plots Revitalization Amid Tech Convergence Intel's govt crew today showcased its imagination and prescience for the subsequent wave of the era and framed its approach around a series of converging traits. "We believe that together we will unharness the electricity of facts to make the arena a better area," stated Navin Shenoy, EVP and GM of the Data Platforms Group at Intel, at some stage in a digital event marking the discharge of Intel's 0.33-generation Xeon Scalable processors. He stated that Intel aims to satisfy that goal by shaping its strategy around 4 regions of fast adoption and confluence. Those developments consist of the proliferation of hybrid cloud; advancements in synthetic intelligence (AI) which might be being infused into the brink, community, and cloud; 5G deployments, which might be fueling new use instances; and the heightened needs of 5G which can be pushing compute sources in the direction of in which statistics are
