I sure understand your concern about the invasive ness of technology! I’ve found a solution that gives me security, well two really. One solution is to use the browser DuckDuckGo.com. DuckDuckGo is a secure browser you go to when you want privacy. The site scrambles your home address (Internet protocol address belonging to your computer, laptop, tablet or phone. The site you go to then has zero idea of who you are or where you live - they just see DuckDuckGo. The other solution I use is even better. I use a VPN. Virtual Privacy Network. There are lots of free ones for those of us who don’t work from home. A VPN protects your privacy - we do banking online because we live in our RV and are virtually secure and private in those transactions. When I go on Zoom, I turn on my VPN and it protects me. When I buy something online, I turn on the VPN. Hope this helps!

@lizzy102 Lizzy, what VPN do you use?

Thanks for the tips!

@lizzy102 Thank you for the tips; much appreciated. I will probably be arranging another Geek Squad Agent home visit in the 4th quarter and will discuss them as well as other issues I have already identified (I am not computer savvy in the least; any changes I have Geek Squad execute).
