There are many reasons why we should encrypt our internet traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the steps we can take to protect ourselves from being tracked online are free, while others will cost us a few dollars. By utilizing several virtual tools that are practical and easy to get, we can encrypt their internet traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Should You Encrypt Your Internet Traffic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Encryption is all about keeping our online activity safe from the eyes of third parties and government agencies. Internet Service Providers worldwide now are able to sell their customers\u2019 browsing habits to advertisers.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to Encrypt Your Internet Traffic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

There is a wide range of tools available to keep our internet traffic hidden inside the encryption tunnel. Some of these tools are free, while the others will cost us some bucks like the price of coffee. Almost everything we discuss here can protect our desktop and mobile devices.<\/p>\n\n\n

Enable Encryption of Your Wi-Fi Network<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

If we don\u2019t need a password to join our Wi-Fi network, we leave it open to anyone within reach. Change the router\u2019s default admin password. Otherwise, hackers can easily guess the default password and take over our home network. Also, check for updates for our router firmware to close security holes. If we lose instructions, visit our router manufacturer\u2019s website to find instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n

Use a VPN<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

Virtual Private Network (VPN<\/a>) encrypts all of our internet traffic, which means we can access content that isn\u2019t usually available in your region. VPNs also add an extra layer of encrypted protection to secure Wi-Fi networks to prevent our ISP or friendly government agents from tracking us online.<\/p>\n\n\n

HTTPS Everywhere<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

HTTPS<\/a> connections provide a layer of encryption, protecting data sent to and received from sites. Chrome, Firefox, and Opera users can force websites to use HTTPS encryption<\/a>. Previously, websites only provide HTTPS for login pages or checkout processes. But don\u2019t worry, The Electronic Frontier Foundation has developed a browser extension called \u201cHTTPS Everywhere<\/a>\u201d for Internet Explorer. Because of IE and Safari, users are SOL (Simply Out of Luck) in terms of HTTPS Everywhere native support for their browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tor Browser<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

Tor<\/a> is an easy way to encrypt our web browsing activity. It encrypts the data multiple times and will never reveal the user\u2019s real IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tor Browser prevents anyone from tracking our online activity and our actual IP address<\/a>. Tor is a popular tool for journalists and activists who live in countries where internet activity is monitored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Tor Browser is not on the suggestion list to be our daily browser driver. It offers a much slower online experience than other browsers. Tor also allows us to access more dangerous web parts, which many people call the \u201cdark web.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Encrypted Messages<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n

We can protect our messages to friends, family, or business associates using encrypted messaging apps on our computers or mobile device. Encrypted messaging apps provide end-to-end encryption to protect our messages from the eyes of outsiders snooping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular encrypted messaging apps<\/a> include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
