How to set up a VPN

A VPN is a good way to protect your online activity and keep your IP address anonymous.
Most top VPNs offer software for Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, as well as mobile apps for Android and iOS.
If you want to appear to be located in a particular country or want to stream services like Netflix, you'll need to pick a specific server.
The easiest way to get started is to use the VPN app. Download the program from the appropriate app store or the VPN's website and install it as usual.
Manually configuring your VPN under Windows 11 gives you more control over how the tunneling works, but you should know your way around Windows 11 before getting started.
You can also set up a VPN connection on MacOS, which is very similar to the process on Windows.
The cost of service is usually affordable if you subscribe for one or more years at a time, but you might want to check our list of the latest and best VPN deals to make sure you aren't spending more than you need.
Some good VPN options include NordVPN, Surfshark, and ExpressVPN.
A good VPN ensures your online privacy and security while unblocking streaming video content worldwide
Setting up a VPN manually gives more control to the user and using IKEv2 protocol is highly recommended for Windows and Mac users.

Amazon Employees Protest Mandatory In-Office Policy, Urge CEO to Retain Remote Flexibility Employee Petition Against Return-to-Office Mandate

Over 500 Amazon Web Services (AWS) employees have raised concerns regarding Amazon’s recent policy change, which mandates a five-day in-office work week starting January 2025.
AWS employees argue that the rigid policy undermines Amazon’s innovative work culture and could drive skilled employees away.
A group of 523 AWS employees recently sent a petition to AWS CEO Matt Garman, calling for Amazon to reconsider its decision to end remote work flexibility.
According to the employee letter, senior staff members have greater flexibility and resources to transition to roles at other companies that offer remote work, potentially creating a loss of experience and expertise at AWS.
Amazon’s full return-to-office policy places it among a minority of tech firms insisting on a five-day physical presence, a move likely to shape employee retention and recruitment efforts.
Amazon’s move to reinstate a five-day office workweek has added to a broader debate in the tech industry over the role of remote and hybrid work.
The return-to-office policies adopted by major companies are reshaping the tech industry’s competitive landscape for talent.
As Amazon moves forward with its five-day in-office mandate, the company faces mounting pressure from its workforce to reconsider its stance.
Whether Amazon ultimately upholds or adjusts its mandate may signal broader trends in how companies balance workplace culture, employee satisfaction, and operational objectives in a post-pandemic era.
In an industry increasingly defined by employee demands for flexibility, Amazon’s approach will serve as a test case for the future of corporate culture and workforce management in tech.
