The Best Free Privacy Software of 2015: Keep your information private
With government snooping and hacking high on the web agenda, protecting your privacy online has never been more important and isn't tricky.
Contrary to what some people tell you, downloading and installing privacy software is an incredibly cheap way to protect yourself online as most of the top privacy suites are available completely free of charge.
It means that keeping you local or online information private has never been easier and what follows is a list of the five best free privacy software options for 2015.

VPN Gate Client Plug-in with SoftEther VPN Client

One of the best ways to keep your data private online is by spoofing your IP with a virtual private network (VPN) and among the highest rated is the VPN Gate Client Plug-in with SoftEther VPN Client developed by the University of Tsukuba in Japan.
The SoftEther VPN interface may be daunting to some but after getting used to how it works the privacy attributes enjoyed are among some of the best available. Those working on the program have managed to source hundreds of connections in locations across the world that are all available free of charge and give peace of mind that you are working under a blanket of privacy.
SoftEther VPN
Unlike other programs, SoftEther VPN, which has been open source since January 2015, creates a virtual network adapter on your Windows PC and connects to the internet through this thus giving yet another layer of privacy. Once you have connected to a servers it counts towards its score, which is displayed alongside the server name and gives you an idea of the most trustworthy VPN connections available.
For even more advanced users there is the chance to create your own VPN connections using the service and anyone with an intricate knowledge of virtual connections stands to benefit even more than regular users.
Anyone that wants an extensive VPN offering that you simply can't get from other more commercialised programs will find it here, and the learning curve is more than worth it in the end.

Wise Folder Hider

Hiding folders on your PC can be incredibly hard given the wide ranging scope of the search and find offering that comes bundled with Windows and successfully bypassing thatis where Wise Folder Hider comes in.
It's apparent just how protective Wise Folder Hider can be when you first start it up as it immediately prompts you to enter a password to even gain access to the program and prevents anyone with access to your PC to unlock the files and folder hidden inside.
Hiding a folder has never been easier
Once inside you can protect files, folders or USB drives by either just simply hiding them or applying a password of your own choosing to make sure no one get their hands on your precious files.
The only frustrating thing is that there is nothing else to the program than a file protector and anyone looking for online privacy protection will need to combine it with another program. When it comes to protecting files though it does the job simply and with no fuss for all users.

Why I Wake Up Early (And 9 Reasons You Should Do So Too)

Here are 9 reasons why I say this: 1. Get a head start When you wake up at 5am, you start your day earlier than 99.9% of the world — hence giving you a head start in your day. This creates a feel-good factor, which, while psychological, creates a host of positive effects (especially for reasons #2 and #3 in the list). After all, a good start is half the battle won. It will motivate you to stay ahead so you can maintain or even widen the lead. For example, my modus operandi when I wake up early is to work on the high-impact tasks right away, as opposed to the small, easy but unimportant tasks. I will also think and work effectively, and strive to end my day earlier so that I can have an early sleep, wake up early the next day, and continue my “head start.” On the whole, I’d say that I’m more forward thinking and proactive in managing my tasks — since I have a head start in my day, I naturally think about how I can be ahead in my work too. On the other hand, when I wake up ...

Hate your finicky Wi-Fi router? Google does too, apparently. Google announced Tuesday that it's making a Wi-Fi router called OnHub, which is designed to alleviate the typical frustrations of buggy routers. It is partnering with TP-Link for the $199 router, available for immediate preorder. Google's preorder page already lists it as out of stock. In terms of design, the OnHub doesn't really look like any router before it. It eschews the usual antennas, wires and blinking lights for a large cylindrical shape with just one large light at the top. Google's cylindrical OnHub router. IMAGE: GOOGLE Google thinks there are benefits to this design: In its announcement post, it explains many people keep unsightly routers hidden away under desks and behind TVs where they don't work as well.  If the router is more pleasing to the eye, Google says, people will be more likely to keep it out in the open. A win-win. Within the cy...
