💻️ Tool of the Week

Proton VPN Secure Core

Proton VPN uses Secure Core to provide stronger privacy protection through multi-hop VPN routing. Instead of sending traffic directly to the internet, Secure Core routes encrypted traffic through hardened servers in privacy-focused countries such as Switzerland, Iceland, and Sweden before reaching the final destination server.

The feature is designed to reduce the risk of traffic correlation attacks, where attackers or surveillance systems attempt to connect VPN activity back to a specific user. Proton states that its Secure Core infrastructure operates on company-controlled hardware located inside highly protected facilities, including underground data centers and former military locations.

🔧 Digital Tip

Frequent travelers increasingly carry compact travel routers instead of connecting every device directly to hotel Wi-Fi. A travel router creates a private wireless network inside the hotel room, allowing laptops, streaming devices, phones, and gaming systems to reconnect automatically each time you travel.
