How to find More Resources
If you use VPN and secure uncensored browsers like duckduckgo.com, you can find more resources available that are typically hidden by Internet Service Providers.
When seeking in-person resources at any agency, be sure to ask for and understand their privacy policies to protect yourself.
Use a VPN to protect yourself online
What is a VPN?
A VPN hides your location and Internet activities
Imagine that the Internet is like a big busy city and every time you use your computer or phone to browse websites, it's like you're walking through the city. When you visit a website, it's like sending a postcard with your address on it, so the website knows where to send you the information.
Now, a VPN (which stands for Virtual Private Network) is like a special tunnel that you can walk through instead of walking outdoors on the streets. When you use a VPN, you hide where you're really going and what you're doing, so no one can see or follow you. It's like using a secret passage that keeps your information safe and private, just like you would use a private street to avoid traffic or keep your data hidden from others.
In short, a VPN keeps your internet activities more private and secure, just like a secret tunnel in the big city.
