Pornhub launches its own free VPN


Pornhub is launching its own VPN service today with free and unlimited bandwidth. The VPN is supposed to help users avoid ISP throttling and geographic limitations. It’s also designed to let users transmit data anonymously without saving or collecting any of that data.
To get started, you download the VPNHUB app on your device and then tap setup. On the iPhone running iOS 11.3.1 that I tested it with, the app prompted me to create a VPN in settings. You might see an error message at first, but despite that, the app’s main page, which shows a swirling lock symbol, will whirl a bit and then activate your VPN. Then, to check if the VPN is working, go to a site like WhatisMyIPAddress.com and check your IP address. If it’s working, it should list your location as a generic city and have swapped out your usual IP address.
Pornhub’s VP Corey Price said in a statement to The Verge that incognito browsers don’t offer enough cover from “prying eyes,” especially if users are still browsing on public Wi-Fi networks, so the VPN will provide an added layer of security and privacy.
The VPN service is available on Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS. Although the service will be available in many countries, it’s going to be banned from countries the US doesn’t do business with, including Myanmar, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Pornhub also notes that it’s “had reports that our VPN might be blocked in” countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and China.

There’s also a premium option available called VPNhub Premium, which costs $12.99 per month in exchange for no ads and supposedly faster connections. There’s a free 7-day trial available, and you’ll be able to choose from a range of countries and locations like Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Singapore, the UK, and major US cities. Free users only have access to their nearest server.
The website recently launched s support for cryptocurrency, which allows users to easily make anonymous payments to the site.

Apple releases new iOS 12 beta, putting a stop to infuriating update notification

A new iOS update is now available (for real) “A new iOS update is now available. Please update from the iOS 12 beta.” If you’ve been running the latest version of Apple’s beta software for OS 12, you’ve likely been pestered by this notification a whole lot over the last 24 hours. Dozens of times? Potentially hundreds? Yesterday, it started showing up every time an iOS device was unlocked — or even if you just pulled down the notification tray a little bit. Thankfully, just as we enter Labor Day weekend, Apple has shipped another iOS 12 update to restore sanity. If you open up your iPhone’s settings, iOS 12 public beta 10 (developer beta 12) is now available to download. Once you do, the obnoxious, constant alert — about an update that didn’t even exist — will go away. GuilhermeRamo managed to pinpoint what went wrong with the last iOS 12 beta. The build thought it was about to expire, thus setting off the string of notifications and mass frustration: This annoying hiccup...

WhatsApp for iPhone Gets Face ID, Touch ID Biometric Authentication

HIGHLIGHTS WhatsApp for iPhone has a Screen Lock option to enable the new feature The feature can be enabled immediately or after an interval Outlook and Signal are offering a similar experience for some time WhatsApp for iPhone has received an important update through build version 2.19.20. The latest update brings the anticipated biometric authentication that allows users to lock the WhatsApp on their iPhone models by deploying the native Face ID or Touch ID. The new feature, which has been in anticipation since October last year - when the new authentication addition was reported for the first time, works similarly to how you can lock Outlook or Signal on your iPhone. It essentially applies biometric authentication to open WhatsApp. However, the feature doesn't add the additional security to your individual WhatsApp conversations. WhatsApp for Android is also in the rumours to bring a similar form of authentication layer in the coming future. With the la...
