Bear in mind that the bulk of websites today utilize some sort of tracking technology to collect information about their users' habits. Tracking Blocker is an internet browser extension that detects and stops these trackers from activating when you browse and limits the amount of personal information that can be gathered.
Here we also discovered access to our Private Browse function. Most popular online search engine (ahem, Google) track your browsing history and other details to produce profiles that are then sold to third-party advertisers. It's a little disingenuous to call this a "service" provided by IDX, though. Really it's simply a link that looks for your terms in Duck, Duck, Go, an online search engine that made a name for itself by not tracking any search details.
Next on the list was Social Sentry. This function assists uncover the data social media networks are mining and offering to third-party business. Or so it says. We offered IDX access to ours, and luckily nothing turned up. As far as the information mining went, we let it run for a couple of days and absolutely nothing came back.
To be sincere, we see this a lot with sex culprit tracking and court records scans, as well. The only time we have actually seen these actually work well was when we examined IDShield. Next up was the Password Detective. This is a pretty cool feature that permitted us to inspect any password we're utilizing against known data breaches and password cracking systems.
The most typical password coming from breached accounts around the world was 123456. If that's your password, it's well previous time to upgrade it. 4 Finally, we were able to establish our VPN. Here's Reference on what that implies: Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs for short, allow you to link to the web using a private, encrypted connection.
VPNs make browsing method more protected, which is essential if you work from a laptop in a cafe and/or a hotel room. Setting up the VPN was easy. We chose our os and downloaded the installer. Once it was set up, we were off to the races on an absolutely secured and encrypted network.
