mySteganos Online Shield VPN is a comprehensive security tool designed to protect your online identity and enhance your browsing experience.

Overview

mySteganos Online Shield VPN is a robust security tool designed to offer a secure and private online experience. This app uses a variety of features to safeguard users' data while surfing the internet, ensuring no digital footprints are left behind. It offers five key tools designed to enhance security and privacy.

Secure Your Connection

The secure connection feature provided by the app encrypts your connection using advanced AES-256 encryption. This tool lets you access the mySteganos server securely and view content that might be geographically restricted in your location.

Ad Blocking

mySteganos Online Shield VPN automatically blocks advertising banners, creating a smoother, distraction-free browsing experience. This feature enhances readability and eliminates misleading images from websites.

Social Network Tracking Prevention

The app also offers a feature to prevent social networks like Facebook and Twitter from tracking user activity. However, enabling this feature means users can only use these platforms passively, as the 'like' or 'tweet' functionalities will be disabled.

Automatic Cookie Removal

mySteganos Online Shield VPN automatically erases cookies and browser history when you close the browser. This not only protects your privacy but also logs you out of any accounts you were using during your browsing session.

Hide Your Browser Data

To further protect your privacy, the app offers a feature that replaces basic browser data such as browser version, operating system, and language with generic values. This makes it harder for third parties to identify you based on your browsing habits.

Pros

  • Efficient encryption for secure browsing
  • Ad blocking for a smoother browsing experience
  • Prevents social media tracking
  • Automatic removal of cookies and history
  • Hides browser data to enhance privacy

Potentially dangerous permissions

  • GET_ACCOUNTS: Allows access to the list of accounts in the Accounts Service.
  • READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to read from external storage.
  • WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: Allows an application to write to external storage.

Other permissions

  • ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows applications to access information about networks.
  • ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: Allows applications to access information about Wi-Fi networks.
  • GET_TASKS: This constant was deprecated in API level 21. No longer enforced.
  • INTERNET: Allows applications to open network sockets.
  • READ_LOGS: Allows an application to read the low-level system log files.
  • RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Allows an application to receive the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED that is broadcast after the system finishes booting. If you don't request this permission, you will not receive the broadcast at that time. Though holding this permission does not have any security implications, it can have a negative impact on the user experience by increasing the amount of time it takes the system to start and allowing applications to have themselves running without the user being aware of them. As such, you must explicitly declare your use of this facility to make that visible to the user.
