Are You Happy With Your New Ipod5?

Are You Happy With Your New Ipod5?

I posted mine before. but I can't help but writing it again. I have used it 6 days. I picked it up last Saturday. it's been awesome. 4inch screen seems more brighter and bigger than iPhone 4S. performance is even better than that. the design is freaking stunning. it's very well made device that I can even replace my tablet by amazon kindle fire (old one). only thing I regret is that 32GB is not enough space. I thought I won't have any problem. but I have only 5GB left. other than that, it's almost perfect. I recommend everyone.

Wow really? Previously had an 8GB so this seems like plenty! What is your iPod made up of mostly? How many GBs of music & apps?

I'm planning to do this primarily using Talkatone. Question. Does the 4g hotspot give out location information for apple maps or Google maps?

VPN is just an extra layer of network software

VPN is just an extra layer of network software on top of your physical network layer. It is totally independent of your connection, therefore it will work with WiFi, 2G/3G/4G cellular network, Ethernet or an analog modem over your old telephone line.

It will let you tunnel your internet packets to another location so other people can't find out your true IP address, or you can tunnel securely into a private network as well (like right behind a enterprise firewall).

What does a VPN do and why would you need it?

What does a VPN do and why would you need it?

The most likely reason a Touch owner would use a VPN would be to connect his or her touch to their home computer. They would do that by connecting the Touch to the Internet (at a wifi hotspot in Starbucks for example) and then activating the VPN. Once the VPN is activated, any communication between the Touch and the home computer would be secure and safe from hackers who often evesdrop on Internet traffic at wifi hotspots.

So instead of connecting to the Internet at starbucks and checking your email, revealing your email user name and password to any nearby hacker, you connect to the Internet, start the VPN, and then check your email by sending your user name and password nice and securely throught the VPN to your home computer, from where it then goes out to the Internet and gets your email.

In other words, where there is a security risk (like a public wifi connection) a VPN provides a way of securing your traffic and sending it to a place that you trust (like your home computer) from where it goes on to the Internet in the normal way

How do you set up a VPN? If you are running XP you have a VPN server built in to your operating system and you can use that one.

This is a very simplified answer but I hope it helps. I use the Touch VPN to provide a secure link from anywhere to my home machine for VNSea, so I can control my home computer securely remotely without the possibility that anyone can easily see my password.

iPod Touch VPN

iPod Touch VPN - I know this is probably a dumb questions but I've looked around and I'm still completely lost. What is the VPN option on the ipod touch used for? I don't even know what it is (other then virtual privet network) but that means nothing to me at this point. How can I take advantage of the feature? I saw that in the beginning that some had the option some didn't or so it seemed. So if you could be kind enough to give me the run down (Im sure it would be appreciated by many others as well) I would really appreciate it.

Seen as though no-one will give you the information your looking for, here:

A virtual private network (VPN) is a communications network tunneled through another network, and dedicated for a specific network. One common application is secure communications through the public Internet, but a VPN need not have explicit security features, such as authentication or content encryption. VPNs, for example, can be used to separate the traffic of different user communities over an underlying network with strong security features.

Hope it helps.
