It’s technically possible to use a VPN like Turbo VPN to change the appearance of your location and view more Netflix content. However, this is potentially copyright infringement, and it also breaks Netflix’s terms of use — my team and I don’t condone this behavior. To protect its content, Netflix blocks VPNs, and services like Turbo VPN aren’t reliable for streaming. However, our international team of testers has found working alternatives — ExpressVPN is the top choice for Netflix, with fast speeds for safe and lag-free streaming....

First published: Oct 19, 2023 Updated 2 times since publishing After my tests, I wasn’t too impressed with this antivirus. While I appreciate some standout features like its remote management feature, emergency kit malware removal tool, and budget-friendly pricing, I was left dissatisfied with the overall performance. Emsisoft got rid of some malware, but not all. Plus, it doesn’t offer advanced security features like VPN and password manager. For almost the same price, you can get better value with and top-tier antivirus like Norton which is available for you to try risk-free 60 days....

Last Updated: Aug 2, 2025 While I was impressed with Hotspot Shield’s streaming capabilities, I was disappointed with its overall lack of consistency. Its speeds varied a lot and so did the availability of servers and features across platforms. Also, I discovered a privacy scandal alleging that Hotspot Shield collects its user’s IP addresses. Although it wasn’t as bad as it sounded, it still makes me hesitant to trust the service....

If you usually get your news from Meta sites, you can still stay abreast of Canadian news by using different social media platforms, like X (Twitter), or visiting the news website directly. You can also use a VPN to change your virtual location and access Canadian news content through Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. I tested 20+ VPNs, and only a few worked with Meta sites to access Canada’s news from within the country....

There are many easy ways to mask your IP address. Doing this anonymizes your online activity and makes it way harder (if not impossible) for people to connect it to your IP. This includes online advertisers, your internet service provider, apps and services, and more malicious threats like hackers. My team and I tested dozens of ways to hide your IP address and shortlisted the best options (most of them are 100% free!...

While this is very helpful, it’s important to understand that Microsoft Family Safety is only useful when it comes to the Xbox One. To monitor their online activities on phone and computer, limit their app use, set screen time limits and track their browser and search history – you’ll need a dedicated parental control app. Based on my extensive testing, the best app for this is Qustodio, which has powerful features for setting parental control rules and monitoring your child’s online activities....

While you could theoretically use a VPN to get an IP address and access MBC broadcasts from another country, it goes against the broadcasters’ terms of service.

Although a VPN can technically change your real IP address to one in South Korea, I don’t condone it. This is because using a VPN to make it appear as if you’re in South Korea when you’re not to watch content unlicensed where you are could be considered copyright infringement (and it goes against SBS TV’s terms of service). But if you still want to use a VPN to watch SBS TV safely, most don’t work as the platform works hard to protect its licenses....
