I've been using free versions of various companies' cleaners, anti-virus, and anti-malware, etc. They seem to work well enough.
A coupla years ago, one of them sent a blurb about a free VPN. I took a look at whatever info they had and it looked (to me) like it might take somebody more internet savvy than me to set it up, so I didn't even try.
Lately, I've been noticing that the VPN icon has been appearing at the bottom of the screen in the task bar (or whatever it's called). It appears, then blinks out... then reappears later. Rinse and repeat.
I clicked on it tonight and it looked like it was setting itself up after I clicked on "CONNECT.". I'm now using the internet from somewhere in the UK. Of course they have a pay version that's faster, but I'm not going for that as long as this version works okay.
So I thought why not click on my Pelican O/T bookmark. Bingo. I'm back like a bad habit.
What did I miss?
