While theoretically you can watch CBS from anywhere with a Virtual Private Network (VPN), this could be considered copyright infringement, plus it goes against CBS’ terms of use. My colleagues and I do not condone using a VPN in this way. If you’re in Canada, Australia, or the US, I recommend you get ExpressVPN to watch CBS risk-free. It comes with superfast streaming speeds and top security. You can try it risk-free as all offers are covered by a 30*-day money-back guarantee....

According to TechCrunch, Instagram announced last week that it had tailored its “Limits” feature for teens by enabling the “Close Friends” setting by default. This adjustment is intended to protect teens from bullying and harassment. By activating the limiting interactions feature, teens will only see comments, tags, replies, mentions or messages from their close friends, while interactions from other accounts will be muted. Meta, Instagram’s parent company, initially tested this safety control tool in 2021 to help creators and public figures deal with abuse and harassment campaigns....

Last Updated: Aug 2, 2025 After running different tests, I found out that Keenow’s abilities didn’t entirely match its claims. On one hand, I was able to unblock some streaming platforms while maintaining fast speeds and HD quality. On the other hand, the VPN’s obfuscation technology couldn’t get past China’s great firewall. Worst still, I wasn’t comfortable with Keenow’s questionable privacy policy. That said, you can try Keenow VPN for yourself....

Last Updated: Aug 7, 2025 From my experience with OVPN over the past few days, I can confidently say that OVPN is worth trying. Aside from the standard features like a kill switch and military-grade encryption, it also offers Wintun drivers and ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption which isn’t typical for a VPN service. The software also supports torrenting, works in China via Singapore servers, and has a decent connection speed. There is no free trial available with OVPN, so you will have to rely on the 10-day refund policy to assess the service....
