Whenever we open a webpage, the owner of the website receives a small amount of data which is alloted to us, this data includes our IP address, location, etc. This data can be misused by the website owner, and even if you trust the company/owner then also DO YOU TRUST THE EMPLOYEES OF THE COMPANY?! DO YOU TRUST THE HACKERS WHO HAVE BREACHED THE COMPANY?!
The only way to protect our privacy is by using TOR Browser, but you can also use a VPN, but the problem with VPN is that, most of the VPNs are not free to use.
1. TOR Browser:
TOR Browser is free and open-source software for enabling anonymous communication by directing Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer overlay network consisting of more than seven thousand relays in order to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. It can also be used to hide a device's IP address.
2. TunnelBear:
TunnelBear is a virtual private network provider that is based in Toronto, Canada. It works on most of the common operating systems including Windows, MAC OS X, Linux, Android & iOS. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is very easy to use & it has a lot of servers world wide.
