Use a VPN to protect your private
As I mentioned it at the start of this wrote up, a good and trusted Virtual Private Network Application is a good choice to make. There are loads of VPN programs available at the moment, that too at best prices. Some of them are also free. I recommend you TunnelBearVPN and Vypr VPN.

So, before your identity gets jeopardised or private information gets leaked to unscrupulous elements, switch to use a tunnelled channel. This way, your IP address, and ISP information are safe and anonymous with zero chances of exposure.
