Data Valet: Censors Supreme

I'm in the MLL, waiting for my flight, and surfing the web.

Google news suggests this: "Even John Oliver's Warm-Up Burns Are Pretty Savage" ... and sure, that sounds like a reasonable topic.

For the curious, the link address is http://www.gq.com/story/even-john-ol...-pretty-savage

But fortunately, datavalet are there to protect me:

Thank you, datavalet! I really had no desire to see John Oliver, nude.

In other news ... really?

My work network blocks CNET, so I know the feeling.

I think datavalet once blocked TSN on me because it said it was a video-sharing site. Web filters suck.

VPN. US$40 a year. 50 countries. None of this.

I just pop open an SSH tunnel, same idea as a VPN...

Question is, is it GQ.COM that's nudity, or the link content??

+1 Always use VPN on unsecured connections.

Why only 50 countries?

I carry a USB hotspot with me, wherever I go, in addition to my hotspot smartphone. You never know when you might need to support a team, and still have your own (speedier) connection.

It costs me about $35 per month (base) and I use it when I'm in any MLL or at YYZ (uggh, tracking)
