Starting off with OysterVPN’s servers, Jawwad explained how this growing network of VPN servers lets users “access geo-restricted content from anywhere.” The discussion also touched on the key features that have been introduced as part of OysterVPN’s continued commitment to user privacy, such as DNS-level adblocking, kill switch, and split-tunneling.
The interview highlighted the growing need for encrypted communication, especially on wireless networks like public Wi-Fi hotspots. Such networks are often not password-protected, which opens up the possibility for hackers to intervene and monitor your online activities.
“I could join a network that isn’t password-protected and sniff the network traffic of connected users, or I could create a rogue Wi-Fi network of the same name and lure unsuspecting users into connecting to this network. I can then even control DNS queries and redirect users to fake web pages to steal credentials or personal information.”
At OysterVPN, we take cybersecurity education as one of the core pillars of our overall strategy. Our blog aims to prepare digital users on various topics, such as how to identify and prevent a Phishing Attack, the best practices for choosing a password, and how one can make online banking more secure.
But, there is also a need to address misconceptions surrounding the role of VPNs in cybersecurity. For example, a VPN is not a substitute for an antivirus. We always recommend using a VPN for accessing the Internet and using antivirus for on-device protection.
“Such misconceptions are largely due to hyperbolic marketing statements that do disservice to the customer and sell functionality that’s simply not in the scope of VPNs. It’s our job to educate the masses about these misconceptions as much as it’s about educating for cybersecurity.”
As we continue to make OysterVPN the most advanced VPN in the market, we will ensure that it also delivers the best value. Right now, you can secure lifetime access to OysterVPN for just $49.99 with our exclusive Lifetime Plan.
