Popular porn sites receive a high volume of demands that predators infiltrate the inferiors instead. Even safe porn sites sometimes aren’t spared.
How big is the demand? Well, PornHub releases their own analytics which shows us that the world’s most famous porn site brings in billions worth of viewers.
This is just one porn site. There are tons out there that command numbers around that ballpark from time to time too.
If your analytics account twice to thrice the number of people on the entire planet, that means it’s easy for spies to enter your system through porn.
We all value our privacy which is why we are sharing with you some of your tips on how to safely browse porn sites.
Protect your online data by using a separate device
This one is kind of self-explanatory. Protecting your online data should already be basic for anyone who wants to watch filth.
Hackers became such because they are very smart. All the fancy anti-virus software will not save you like a knight who still dies in battle despite wearing armor.
Porn lovers tend to be very giving especially with their online data. The smell of desperation is enough for a predator to effectively find prey.
It’s not actually the porn that’s the problem. It’s the platform you are watching from. You know those ads that are too good to be true? That’s one of their baits. Clicking them can activate a number of malware and spyware packages.
How to protect your online data? The best thing to do here is dedicate a device for all your porn consumption. It can be a spare computer or phone.
We’re not accusing all sites of being too sketchy. It’s just that as a porn consumer, we do not know which ones are legit ads and which ones are spyware.
Having a separate device may cost you a little extra but at least it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Install an Adblocker
One technique porn addicts already know is installing adblockers to prevent these iFrames from infiltrating their system.A good ad blocker should shield your computer or smartphone from all the malware that hack unto your personal data.
The good thing is that AdBlockers go way beyond blocking porn ads. It will also help block other ads from the online blogs and stores you so often visit.
There are plenty of ad blockers you can get as a browser add-on. All you need to do is download and install.
Install an Antivirus
This one is very obvious. Even without porn, you should have one.
An antivirus not only saves your computer from shady sites and files, but it also warns you when suspicious threats emerge.
The downside? Its price.
Antivirus software may cost you without the guarantee of full-protection. You’re not sure which malware will infect your computer and which antivirus software can kill it.
Despite this, the antivirus can still lessen the risk of your computer being infected.
Private browsers
Do you know why your friend or relative finds you watched porn? It’s because you do not know how to go private and all your porn searches appear on your browser’s history.
The best solution here is to use private browsers. Modern browsers have a private or incognito mode which you can use to keep your history secret.
There’s a higher risk of getting hacked if you aren’t in private mode since some spyware can detect your logins which are saved even when you log out completely.
Besides, shouldn’t you be searching for porn on incognito in the first place? You are the only one to blame as to why your search history gets discovered.
Hide your location with a VPN software
So you’ve blocked all ads and spyware, how sure are you they don’t know where you are? Do you think they just guessed the analytics per country that they show?
You may be safe from malware and viruses but porn sites still know where you live or where you are exactly jerking off from.
That’s why it’s safer if you would install a VPN software to hide your location. This will also come in handy especially if you are watching porn using public Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it’s not an ultra geeky internet genius that hacks your info. It’s the owner of the very internet you are connected to.
That’s why it’s better to hide your location via a VPN. Even the person beside you cannot trace your location online.
Watch only from trusted safe porn sites
Trusted porn sites are usually encrypted. They use https on their URL.
There are a lot of encrypted sites that are safe to watch from but unfortunately, only the popular ones get trusted. We’re talking about PornHub and other sites under its network.
To check if the website can be trusted, make sure it has a green padlock beside its URL with a tag of “Connection is secure.”
Stick to premium porn sites for downloads
Some want to take their porn elsewhere. This might cost you though.
Downloading porn sometimes has viruses attached to it. Predators know how in-demand the industry is which is why they choose to insert themselves in video downloads.
There are trusted premium sites that allow you to download their content on your phone. It’s better if you do that like you do Netflix.
Torrents might be a very bad idea. Refrain from torrenting porno because torrent sites are a petri dish for viruses.
