Google has decided that it is time to test a new feature in its widely used Chrome browser by hiding IP addresses. This feature, known as IP Protection, sends connections from the browser through a proxy server first, so the remote website only sees the IP address of the proxy server, not the device from which the browser is being run. But is Google potentially restricting our privacy and access and monopolizing the proxy market with the introduction of IP Protection? Let’s examine the potential implications of the IP Protection feature for Google users, so you have the information required to decide for yourself.
Data management best practices for securing Docker containers and how to easily and securely launch a website using open-source technology are also topics we explore this week.
