Enhancing Online Security with Oyster VPN: Our Family's Experience

Disclosure - We were gifted a subscription for the purpose of this review

We are always looking at ways to keep our family safe online. There are so many stories of accounts being hacked with purchases stolen that sometimes even the best password won’t help. We have been researching Virtual Private Networks (VPN) to see if we increase our security.  These networks allow you to log in and protect your data from the outside world, making your connection safer. We have been asked to try out Oyster VPN, a service that has been gaining traction among users for its blend of security, speed, and user-friendly features.

Oyster VPN is a relatively new player in the VPN market, but it has quickly established itself as a strong contender. With a mission to provide users with a secure and private browsing experience, Oyster VPN offers a robust feature set designed to protect your online presence. Whether you’re looking to access geo-restricted content, secure your internet connection on public Wi-Fi, or simply enhance your online privacy, Oyster VPN claims to have you covered.

One of the standout features of Oyster VPN is its intuitive user interface. Unlike some other VPNs that can be overwhelming for beginners, Oyster’s design is clean and straightforward, making it easy for users of all levels to navigate. Setting up the service is a breeze; you can download the app on various platforms, including Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. Installation takes just a few minutes, and once set up, connecting to a server is as simple as clicking a button.

When it comes to VPNs, speed is a crucial factor, and Oyster VPN does not disappoint. During our testing, we experienced minimal lag while streaming videos and browsing the web, even when connected to servers in distant locations. This is particularly impressive considering that many users fear a significant drop in internet speed when using a VPN. Oyster VPN’s commitment to providing high-speed connections makes it an excellent choice for those who prioritise seamless browsing and streaming experiences.

Security is at the heart of what makes a VPN trustworthy, and Oyster VPN excels in this area as well. The service employs AES-256 bit encryption, which is considered the gold standard in data protection. Additionally, Oyster VPN offers features like a kill switch, DNS leak protection, and split tunnelling. The kill switch is particularly noteworthy; it automatically disconnects your internet connection if the VPN service drops, ensuring that your data remains protected at all times.

Moreover, Oyster VPN has a strict no-logs policy, meaning they do not track or store any of your online activities. This commitment to user privacy is a significant advantage in a market where many providers may not be as transparent.

Oyster VPN offers competitive pricing plans, which is another reason it stands out. With options for monthly, yearly, or even two-year subscriptions, users can choose a plan that best suits their needs and budget. The pricing is quite reasonable compared to other VPNs in the same category, especially considering the high level of service and security provided.

In conclusion, Oyster VPN is a commendable option for anyone looking to enhance their online security and privacy. Its user-friendly interface, impressive speed, and robust security features make it a viable choice for both casual users and those who demand more from their VPN service. While it may not have the longest track record in the industry, its performance speaks for itself. If you’re in the market for a reliable VPN that won’t break the bank, Oyster VPN is definitely worth considering. 

So, whether you’re a binge-watcher wanting to access content from around the world or someone who simply values online privacy, Oyster VPN provides the tools you need to surf the web confidently, and more importantly we feel safer behind it.

Breakout Chester, Wanted Escape Room

Breakout Chester, Wanted Escape Room

No comments

Disclosure - We were invited to Breakout Chester for the purpose of this post. All thoughts, opinions and photographs are our own. 

Escape rooms are something both John and I enjoy and usual plan for our date nights. However over the past year we have been experiencing Escape Rooms as a family and it is such a fun family activity to enjoy together. At first I wasn't so sure doing Escape Rooms in a group of four, I thought we would get under each others feet or argue over clues and answers. I was wrong. It's a great way for us all to work together, enjoy each others company and four brains are definitely much better than two. We have visited quite a few escape rooms in and around Liverpool including Breakout Liverpool and also played lots of escape room games at home. but recently we ventured a little further to Breakout Chester to play their Wanted room.
