The VPN thread...
Although it is wise to use a non-free VPN these days, they can be a mixed blessing.

Sometimes I cannot get into this forum without switching it off. By the time I have alerted the Boss here, its address has changed again, and all is well.

Sometimes it is better when making ethernet changes (e.g. reconfiguring the router) to switch with the VPN off.. Also iPlayer can be moody, as can the ITV equivalent. I understand they learn the addresses of the servers placed abroad and firewall them to prevent foreigners (those who do not have a VPN with a UK server) watching Death in Paradise....

But Radio Garden Works only from abroad. A great app.

What do other folk do?

One security tip, that I pass on from an expert, is to have several different Browsers installed on your computer. For example use Safari for general Googling and Facebook. Use something like Brave Browser to contact your banks, and Firefox to watch iPlayer.

Good afternoon from sunny downtown York
