Link Safe

The simplest way to stop your iPhone spying on your browsing is to tap the Private option in the bottom-left of your screen when you open a new tab in Safari. You can also go to Settings, Safari, then scroll down and turn on Do Not Track to stop web sites snooping on your browsing habits. Similarly. in Chrome on Android you can open a new Incognito tab and go to Settings, Privacy to select Do Not Track.

Using public Wi-Fi also leaves you open to snoops who may electronically spy on your communications to harvest passwords and other sensitive information. The best solution is to use a VPN (virtual private network). which hides your IP address and geographical location, and also encrypts your internet traffic so you can use public Wi-Fi with confidence. Our favourite VPNs are TunnelBear (www.tunnelbear.com) and CyberGhost (www.cyberghostvpn.com), which offer feature-limited free options but are worth the monthly subscription fee for unlimited usage.
