This post on VPNs for Mac is brought to you by VPNOverview.

Many advanced Windows users have been using VPNs for various reasons for years. However, not many people are aware that VPNs can be just as beneficial for Mac owners. There is a misconception that Macs do not get viruses, and that you are completely safe browsing the web if you do it on a Mac. Apple products are better at defending against attack — and are less frequently targeted by malware. But that does not mean VPNs aren’t useful for Apple computers. In fact, VPNs for Mac are just as effective as they are for Windows systems.

Let’s say you just got Netflix (again) and you want to share the password with your partner and kids so they can watch whatever it is they watch. Folks share like that every day with streaming apps, news sites and other online services. But how it’s done matters. Every time you text or email information like that, it can be visible as plain text to others somewhere. But sharing via a password manager like Dashlane keeps sensitive information safe. The Dashlane Sharing Center is easy to use and encrypts data before it goes to another user.

Apple devices are great mobile computing machines and powerhouses for business productivity. But let’s face it, managing Apple devices is no easy feat. Whether you’re a small business or large enterprise, your IT department still ends up tussling with device configuration issues and app-management woes. Why? Because Apple’s native management tools are great on paper, but fall flat in delivering a cohesive device-management experience.

After you’ve purchased your new iPhone 11, 11 Pro or 11 Max, it’s a no-brainer to buy a case for it. But that’s not all you need. Many smartphone cases don’t cover the device’s screen.

That’s why pairing a durable, edge-to-edge screen protector with a thin case from Totallee is such a good way to safeguard your investment.

“This is why we can’t have nice things,” someone once said, realizing they had failed to protect their nice thing. Despite being surrounded by threats — toddlers, dogs, cats, hot coffee, weather, a lack of fine motor skills — they didn’t buy the insurance. They failed to hire security personnel. They didn’t even buy a case for their not-exactly-inexpensive smartphone. Fortunately for you, Totallee already released transparent cases that will protect your new iPhone 11, 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max while showing it off. You didn’t spend all that money just to conceal your prized new gadget, did you?

This iPhone security post is presented by Dashlane.

To say the least, Google Project Zero’s recent surprising report on the iPhone’s two-year vulnerability to website hacks dented Apple’s vaunted reputation for nearly bulletproof smartphone security.

Macs are mighty machines, but if you work with video, you discover their limitations pretty quickly. And if you’re thinking a decked-out Mac Pro or other powerhouse computer might be the answer, you’re talking prices that rival down payments on a car or even a house. The best (and most affordable) answer might be to get better video processing software.

It’s safe to say that most of us could do with a little less screen time. In our daily lives, it’s easy to lose track of the cumulative staring that takes place. That’s a particular problem when we’re traveling — after all, the more time spent on your phone, the less time spent in the moment.
