How many times has your phone or computer been tracked today? Are you protecting your online privacy?
If you don’t know the answers to those questions, then take a look at last week’s blog post to learn why you should. I talk in depth about the threats we face each day when we use hotspots and free wifi, especially when we travel.
A quick Re-cap
Our data is constantly being tracked. In some cases, we may be granting criminals carte blanche to our private information. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) offer the protection that many of us don’t know we need.
Financial companies, government agencies, and corporations who want to protect sensitive information, all put their networks behind VPNs. It’s just standard procedure. Once an expensive option for the average consumer, VPNs are now extremely affordable.
And in your case, for 90-days it’s completely free!
F-Secure’s Free Trial
F-Secure is offering a FREE 90-day trial for you to test out their VPN app. Download it on itunes or Google Play and use the following code: qsf257.
As motivation, I’m hosting a giveaway. It’s the Freedome Challenge for a FREE brand new iPad Mini 16GB Wi-Fi with a FREE year of Freedome VPN to protect all your devices! Lots of “free” going on. Basically, it’s a win-win.
Think about it, downloading the VPN http://bit.ly/1uCeoku, you get to protect your data for 90 days. AND if you win, you get a free iPad mini and another year of protection…for FREE. Even if you don’t win, you have 90 days of online privacy protection. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Enter below.
My Experience So Far
Since downloading the app 11 days ago, over two thousand tracking attempts have been blocked. 2,196 to be exact! Whenever I try to open a harmful site, the VPN comes up and stops me. Love it! Here’s a picture of my VPN app in action:

I downloaded it using the code you gave.
Awesome Amanda! Would love to hear how it’s working for you. Hit me up on Twitter and let me know! @worldtravelmom
This is a fabulous invention!
I think so too Can Can!
I downloaded the app as mentioned above & used the code.
My favorite feature about this service is that it Encripts your data, very cool!
I’m a big fan of that feature as well Nicole.
Wow, that is scary, I never really thought about iphone tracking, but that makes a lot of sense to me and the need for security.
It is scary Noel and I’m glad that I’ve learned about it before criminals also get a better handle on how to swipe people’s data.
Downloaded the app and redeemed the code!
The feature I like most is that it keeps me and my secrets safe.
I like that it blocks harmful sites and apps!
Also, I downloaded and used the free trail with the code but I didn’t have to type in any e-mail – so I’m not sure how my entry will be verified! It says I have 90 days left.
I love that the app adds a virtual private network WiFi so that my phone is protected.
I downloaded and put in the code. Gave me more free days so thanks! I like that it strips out the tracking. I am going to see how this app performs and probably end up subscribing to it if it does what it says it does!
I like that it encrypts my data
I will give it a try!
I downloaded the app. I like that it Strips out tracking.
Wow what a great concept! And affordable too it seems, I downloaded it and can’t wait to check it out some more!
As far as features go, I love that it one, encrypts your data and especially keeps away tracking AND even better blocks out harmful websites! Great for having a toddler when who knows what they can google without knowing it.
I just downloaded the app on my phone and was super impressed by the data encryption. Cyber hacking is getting more and more prevalent and the more protection you can get on your phone the better.
Downloaded and installed using code~ checking it out…
I don’t know which feature I appreciate most~ My top three are
Data Encryption, Strips out Tracking, and blocks harmful sites.
I also can’t wait till it is available on MAC OS X, as I’d love to see how it works on my computer! 🙂
Me too Lis! My computer is begging for it.
I like secure wifi browsing.
Downloaded the app and used the code.
I like that it blocks out harmful websites.
Downloaded!
I like that it doesn’t track anything!
I like that it encrypts my data making my stuff private.
I downloaded it. It’s under my email blessedmamasblurbs@gmail.com on Google Play. Thank you.
I love that it keeps my secrets safe. Not that I have anything incriminating to hide but just that security makes me feel at ease when I use my phone.
I downloaded with the code you gave us.
I always use Vpnraks for Setup VPN on Iapd. This site work for me rather than your.
I downloaded this to my phone, it’s really interesting and useful and gives u a lot to think about where privacy is concerned….after just recently dealing with someone hacking into an online account of mine and making an unauthorized purchase I’m very concerned about privacy and security! . Thank you for the chance to win the ipad as well. My hubby was medically retired from the USMC after 24.5 years of service and as a result of his medical retirement he has a lot of drs appts, which results in a lot of time spent in waiting rooms, the iPad woild be absolutely wonderful to have to read, browse online, etc, esp when we are at the appts. And a year of this software to protect it would be amazing too. So thanks for the review and telling us all about this program and the chance to win.
I downloaded and installed. Used the code provided and am now protected for the 90-day trial period. But I didn’t enter an email when setting up the program? I can send a screenshot to verify download/install.
While I appreciate all of the features, I like the fact that it strips out tracking the best.
This app is awesome, and I love the Blocks out harmful websites feature!
I also installed it via Google Play
