  1. Wifi Safety Question


    I have my own internet and use it on my main dell xps computer. My building also has wifi as well that ppl in the building can use, its basically shared thoughout the building and most ppl use this as they are here short term. I had my own internet installed a while back.



    Now on my chromebook which i use to stream things online or go to sites where im not sure if its safe or not, i do it on the chromebook and use the building's internet. I also sometimes use the free vpn that is in google chrome that is downloaded form the play store etc. I also used turbovpn the free app as well sometimes if the google vpn has an issue.



    Now what i want to know is... if i connect my chromebook to my own internet... is there any risk of anything happening to my internet connection? I know chromebook is safe when web browsing and that is what i do with it... particularly streaming and downloading... but i won't do that on my my regular dell xps computer of course. But is there any risk if i use my own internet while using the chromebook? Does it make difference if i turn on my free vpn on or not or it doesn't really make a difference? I use chromebook for safety issues as visiting sites or streaming sites where im not sure if those sites are safe/can give you virus etc. But using my internet connection would never pose a risk to my own internet right? Like when i use my dell xps and do my regular thing on my own internet, should be zero problem?

    :)

    Wifi Safety Question

    Windows 10 Family Safety is blocking my browser!!!

    Can you confirm if you are out of the Family Safety feature on your parent's account on this
    link? If you've confirmed that you're no longer on the list of monitored child accounts, we suggest deleting the Family Safety folder. Here are the steps:

    • Press Windows key + E on your keyboard.
    • On the address bar, type this address C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Parental Controls and press
      Enter.
    • Delete all contents of the Parental Controls folder.
    • Restart and see if the issue is resolved.

    Let us know how it went for you.
