How-To 5 Ways To Safely Bypass Internet Censorship 4:42 PM 64% of internet users worldwide worry about government censorship.In Mexico, 87% of the population is unhappy with censorship practices. Fortunately, internet users can bypass access restrictions when searching for news and other relevant information online. Government officials censor online information to promote their political agenda. But, there are tools internet users can use to access information and protect their privacy. Here are five tactics that can help you safely bypass internet censorship. 1. Avoid Censorship with a VPN The safest way to bypass internet censorship is to use a virtual private network (VPN). A VPN encrypts your data and protects your anonymity. Use a reliable, paid VPN service instead of a free one that could sell your information.If you spend a lot of time watching TV shows and movies online and have exhausted the options available in your country, you might want to look specifically for the best VPN for streaming movies.2. Use a Proxy ServerGovernments and private network administrators can restrict access to specific websites like YouTube, Facebook, and even Google. You can use a proxy server to work around this – although this method is not as safe as a VPN. A proxy server will disguise a blocked site from your internet service provider (ISP), allowing access to censored content. So, for example if you reside in America and can leverage an IP from this address, using America proxies can bypass geo-restrictions on platforms such as streaming services. Choosing a secure and reputable proxy service can ensure safety and privacy online. 3. Enter the IP Address Instead of the URL Sometimes, censors will bar a web address but not block the Internet Protocol (IP) address. For this, you can enter the IP address to access the website. To find an IP address on your Windows 10 PC or laptop, follow these steps:Run Windows Command Shell. You can find it by opening the start menu and right-clicking on the Windows logo.A single MS-DOS screen will open. Type "ping" in the URL. Your query should look like this: ping google.com The command prompt will then give you the IP address. That should look like this: 172.217.7.238 Enter the IP address into your browser to see if you can visit the website. Note: Websites are transitioning to a new protocol, so you may see a result like this: 2607:f8b0:4004:802::200e This protocol will not work with a browser. If you see this, do a WHOIS lookup instead of using a site. You'll find the correct format to paste into your browser on whois.domaintools.com. 4. Use an Anonymized Browser Autonomous browsers such as TOR are popular among privacy advocates. You should exercise caution when using them, however. TOR is easy to install but requires more expertise to set it up correctly. If you don't do it right, authorities can track your identity. Combine this with a VPN service, and you can access any website worldwide—despite censorship—and be nearly untraceable. 5. Switch to an Uncensored DNS ServerIn some countries, the government controls the DNS. Interestingly, some satellite internet providers are working on solutions that might help reduce dependence on these controlled DNS servers, offering a more open web experience.When this happens, officials can manipulate the registry that tells the region's computers how to resolve a domain name or URL in some countries. You can circumvent this by setting your device to use another DNS server.Google Public DNS, Quad9, and Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 can help you find a DNS that will resolve domain names correctly.Each site offers tutorials on how to use its DNS resource.Takeaway: How to Safely Bypass Internet Censorship The more governments censor the internet, the more the users push back. What's concerning is that private enterprises are joining governments in censoring online information.In the United States, the government has repealed net neutrality protections. Private enterprises can now limit traffic to their competitors. Businesses can also block content from a specific region. Some enterprises have chosen to block access to content from the Eblockedrather than comply with new internet privacy regulations.Using a few advanced tools can help you find ways to safely bypass internet censorship and exercise your right to information.All gifs from Giphy
Listicle How To Stay Sane And Productive Working From Home: Campaign Monitor Review 9:47 PM I work online. Social media management, content and copywriting are my main focus. As of this writing, I also have wedding plans to do and house duties which include taking care of our 17 dogs. All these resulted to me sacrificing my time blogging. I used to actively engage with subscribers and followers. Now I can barely post. Not complaining! My life has beautiful plot twists. But I know that I must put time and effort in maintaining my relationship with my faithful blog family as this is the main reason why I started to work from home. But how do I stay on top of things without going crazy? How to stay sane and productive working from home? Here's my Campaign Monitor review and other tips I'd like to share based from my experience. How to Stay Sane and Productive Working from Home 1. Keep your environment conducive to working. I used to work in the bedroom. Big mistake! Your bedroom is a place for resting, not for working. As much as possible (and please make it possible), do not work in your bedroom. Although you're working from home, keep "home" separate from work. You'll see your bed and that will give you the feeling of wanting to "lie down for just a minute" and be comfortable. That's procrastination waiting to happen. That will result to projects delayed and tasks half-done. If you want to stay productive while working from home, don't work in your bedroom. 2. Keep distractions away. What distracts you from focusing on your task? For me that's my phone. Sometimes the dogs asking for neck scratch too. Dog owners know the struggle. Put your phone away or turn to Airplane mode. There are also productivity apps you can download. For your dogs, establish a routine. Give them treats before you start working or after. Whatever works for your pooch. Don't let them in your working area if they get too hyper or needy. Personally, I find it helpful if I feed them first or play with them before working because by then they're full and tired and they would just want to sleep under the table or beside me. 3. Have a routine. I'm lucky have clients who let me work anytime I want as long as I finish the hours we agreed on. I choose to work as early as I can so I can work some extra or run personal errands and end the day early too. Establish a routine around your schedule like going to an office. Have breakfast, check emails, decide on which task to work on first, have a break and allow yourself to rest. Campaign Monitor Review 4. Schedule ahead of time. I'm thankful that there are apps and tools that allow me to schedule ahead of time. I can schedule social media posts and emails. Recently, I've come across Campaign Monitor. What I like about Campaign Monitor It is easy to use. Signing up is uncomplicated. If you're new to email campaign, there is a short tutorial video that shows you a quick overview of how to start and monitor your emails after sending. They have professional looking email designs ready to use and easy to customize. They have pricing plans to suit your budget. You know they have the best intention for your business and subscribers because before you can send a campaign, you will be required to verify your subscribers list. You just need to answer how you obtained your list and how often you email them. But that leads me to what I don't like about this tool... What I don't like about Campaign Monitor I have answered the questions so I can set up my email marketing but I didn't get a reply. It takes forever for their support team to respond. I've messaged many times about my concern but still hasn't received any feedback. Based on my experience, I'm giving Campaign Monitor 3.5 stars. 5. Step away. Take a few minutes to step away from your desk. When work is getting too much, when I encounter some good old writer's block, I find it helpful to take a few minutes away from my laptop. What do I do? Take a shower. My best ideas for some reason come to me while I'm in the shower. Amazing how many articles I've finished writing in my head while enjoying a cool bath. Snack. I don't just snack on any food because food affects the way you think and feel. So you also have to be mindful about what you're putting inside your body. Read a few pages on whatever book I have my hands on. Watch funny videos or vegan cooking videos. Play with the dogs. When you remove work-related thoughts in your head, you find yourself ready for more ideas to come in. 6. Take vacations. Vacation does not need to be grand. You don't have to book a flight to Bora Bora or Maldives. Mini-vacations could be great and helpful. How does being away from work help you achieve more at work? Your brain needs to reboot. Your body needs to rest. Your soul needs to recharge. A healthy, calm body, mind and a soul at peace make you productive. Vacations help you stay sane because stress from work can drive you crazy. How about you? How do you stay sane and productive working from home? What is the email campaign tool you use? Please share with me in the comment! Note: I have received compensation for this review but all opinions are my own.

Health & Wellness How Balloon Sinuplasty Is Performed 7:49 PM Sinusitis occurs when cavities that are located around your nasal passages suffer from inflammation. It's possible for sinusitis to become a chronic condition, which means that it can last for at least several months and may not be able to dissipate on its own. One modern procedure that is being used for the treatment of sinusitis is balloon sinuplasty. If you are considering a balloon sinuplasty and believe that this treatment is right for you, you should first be aware of what the treatment is and all that it entails. What Is Balloon Sinuplasty? This is a type of modern treatment that has been designed to be safe and minimally invasive, which means that the recovery process that occurs following a balloon sinuplasty is designed to be less burdensome that that of a traditional sinus surgery. One reason that this type of surgery is less invasive than other types is due to the fact that there is no cutting of the bone or tissue within your nose, which helps to shorten the procedure and the associated trauma. A typical balloon sinuplasty procedure takes around 45-60 minutes to complete and is designed for improvement in sinus-associated symptoms. How Balloon Sinuplasty Is Performed This is a very simple procedure that requires no cutting or removal of tissue. The procedure begins by having a small catheter placed into the sinus openings. A balloon on the catheter is then inflated to open the blocked passages. When these passages have been opened, any built up mucus will be able to drain more effectively, which also means that you will be able to start noticing the alleviation of symptoms that you were experiencing with your sinusitis. A saline solution may also be sprayed within the sinus to remove any infected mucus or pus that can be found within. Once the passageways have been opened and any substances have been removed, the catheter is also removed and the treatment is done. Even though this treatment is minimally invasive, you will still be provided with anesthesia before the procedure to make sure that you're calm and don't experience any pain. You should be able to return to work following the procedure after 1-2 days. Should You Obtain a Balloon Sinuplasty? If you're wondering whether or not a balloon sinuplasty is right for you, the best way to ascertain whether or not you are a good candidate for this procedure is to speak with your ENT specialist. They will be able to provide you with a thorough checkup that will determine what the best course of action is for your sinusitis. If you experience such symptoms as facial pressure and pain, sinus headaches, congestion, and a decreased sense of smell, you may want to consider this type of procedure. It's important to understand that a balloon sinuplasty doesn't completely cure sinusitis. In order to do so, you may also need certain medications that will help to clear up the underying issues that are causing you to suffer from sinusitis. With the sinuses open; however, it is hoped that the medications can now access the sinuses so that your condition may improve. Balloon sinuplasty can help to turn debilitating sinusitis symptoms into much more manageable ones that will allow you to go about your daily life without an undue amount of frustration caused by the sinusitis. This is also a highly recommended procedure for people who have suffered from at least several sinus infections in a single year. By opening up the passageways and removing the substances within, it is expected that these infections and associated symptoms occur much less frequently. Additional Considerations About a Balloon Sinuplasty If you're wondering whether or not this treatment is necessary for what you're going through, it's first important to distinguish between a standard cold and sinusitis. Colds may often precede a bout of sinusitis. When you are suffering from a cold, it's possible for your sinuses to become inflamed, which will block your nasal openings. When this occurs, it means that you are suffering from sinusitis. If your bout of sinusitis lasts for more than 12 weeks without going away, it's likely that you are suffering from chronic sinusitis, which will typically require medications and may benefit from treatments like a balloon sinuplasty. The standard symptoms that you will experience when being affected by sinusitis include difficulties with breathing through your nose, sinus pressure, tenderness around your nose and forehead, a sore throat, and general fatigue. Balloon sinuplasty has been shown in several studies to be a highly effective treatment for patients with sinusitis, and is designed to provide long-term relief from sinus-related symptoms. It is; however, possible that you will need additional treatments other than a balloon sinuplasty to successfully manage your nose and sinus related symptoms. Seek professional help at the Becker ENT Center Balloon sinuplasty is a safe and effective treatment option for appropriate patients with chronic sinusitis who have failed to improve with persistent medical treatments and interventions. A decision on whether or not balloon sinuplasty is the right procedure for you should be made in consultation with your ENT physician. The board-certified physicians at Becker ENT are well-versed and experienced in balloon sinuplasty in Philadelphia, PA, and others designed to treat patients suffering from nasal and sinus problems. If you would like to consult one of the doctors at Becker ENT you may make an appointment by calling or at their online appointment portal.

Listicle The Beginner’s Guide To Dating Apps 7:00 AM The online dating world can seem very confusing. You may be an expert at reading body language, but in the virtual world, you need to learn how to read profile pictures, Instagram accounts, emoticons and confusing texts. Moreover, the whole process of matching can be very confusing, and if you really want to get a date from these apps, you need a good dating strategy. But don’t worry, as we are here to shed some light on the dating apps, so that you can achieve your dating goals with minimum effort. The Beginner’s Guide to Dating Apps Choose the right app Ever since Tinder became the new social media, the popularity of dating apps has exploded. Nowadays, you can choose between dozens of free hookup apps, each one with unique features. However, keep in mind that most of these apps are designed with different purposes in mind. Some are strictly for casual affairs, others are only for people looking for serious relationships. A few apps, like Tinder claim to be for both purposes, but the majority of the Tinder users, at least the men, are only looking for affairs. For serious relationships. Bumble seems to be the best option, as this app gives the power to the female users. Build an interesting profile First of all, your profile picture is the most important element on your profile, so try to choose a good picture, one which shows your best qualities. Think of the people that you want to attract and try to imagine what those people are looking for in a hookup. Moreover, don’t neglect your description as, people with detailed descriptions are a lot more likely to get matches. However, don’t write a novel, but instead try to keep it short, funny and sexy. After all, most people using dating apps are looking for a good time, so try not to be too serious with the description. Choose the right timing On dating apps such as Tinder, the users get a lot of matches that rarely turn into anything.

However, if two people match during Friday or Saturday afternoon, the chances for a date are pretty high, as everybody is looking for something fun to do on the weekend evenings. Don’t take too long to make a move There really isn’t any reason to play hard to get on dating apps, as both men and women are here to meet other people. As such, if you really like someone, and the two of you matched, don’t take too long to start a conversation. Approach your match while it is still hot and try to land a date as soon as possible, otherwise both of you might get bored, or you may find more interesting and more willing prospects. Keep the conversation going In order for a match to turn into a date, you have to work a little on it. If you feel that awkward silence coming, use a GIF to lighten things up, or try to end your texts with questions in order to get your match more involved in the conversation. Asking questions shows that you are interested, and let’s face it, everyone likes to talk about themselves. However, try to also express your own opinions to keep the other person interested in you. Don’t overlook paid accounts There are several free hookup apps that you can use, and the wide range of choices might deter you from paying for such an app. However, paid apps have their advantages, and even free apps offer premium accounts with more features. Usually paid accounts give you the opportunity to undo your swipes and give your options a second look or rewind unintentional swipes. Moreover, some paid accounts also offer you more visibility, increasing your chances of getting a match. Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining? Please go ahead and share.
