| - | Speaking of network and caring about privacy and accessibility tumaBox has a preconfigured private network based on Openvpn. What does it mean and what does it do? It allows you to access tour local network and all your data from anywhere in the internet just as if you were sitting right next to the box. For Windows users this means that you could still have all your tumaBox data mounted as drive X: on your laptop even on your trip to Hawaii. But this is just an example. The point is that you can use the same tumaBox services and access the rest of your local network just as you were in your living room, no matter where you really are. | + | Speaking of network and caring about privacy and accessibility tumaBox has a preconfigured private network based on Openvpn.

| You may or may not know that public or semi-public wifi such as the ones in pubs, hotels and such are not really secure. There are numerous hacks for these and it's fairly easy even for non-IT person to have access at least to parts of information that they shouldn't have access to. With your tumaBox VPN you can encrypt all your internet access and leak nothing to those prying eyes. You can even get a slight performance increase because all your internet access will be combined within a single connection which will ease the strain on the local router. | You may or may not know that public or semi-public wifi such as the ones in pubs, hotels and such are not really secure.
