Online Privacy And Security

Nowadays, most of our transactions can be done online. From online communication to online job to online shopping to money transfer and even online counseling and therapy. And whenever we shop or transfer money online we always wanted to make sure that it's safe. So my question is, is it also safe to discuss online your problem with a person you don't really know personally? For online counseling, how do we get assurance about our privacy?

 

Here's a guideline to the pros and cons.

You don't.
Using a tracking blocker, IP changer, VPN or TOR will help but you're never 100% anonymous on the internet.

 

There are only a select few that can and are allowed to have full security or be truly anonymous.

But they pay a lot to stay that way..

 

Thanks for this one.

 

Hi. Yes, I guess that would be the case. We'll pay higher for a better service. So as I checked for online counseling, I found this website that has an e-counseling platform. I'm checking the services and reviews so I can help my younger brother choose the right platform for him. He is suffering from depression right now but good thing he is willing to undergo a treatment. Anyway, thanks for your input.

 

You should really consider getting one-on-one help for your brother.
From below you'll see it could be more serious than just a depressed mood (we don't know).
