Tech tools: SafePlug

Online anonymity in a box

Privacy is a bit of a hot topic these days, particularly when it comes to going online. Masking your IP address is one way to keep your online activity relatively anonymous, and SafePlug is offering a more convenient way to do this. Currently on sale in the US, the device plugs straight into your internet router and uses the Tor network, meaning your network – and anything connected to it – will have its IP address shielded from companies gathering information or anyone with a reason to take an interest in these sort of things. It’s easy to set up and use.
