One good thing about virtual private networks (VPNs) is that when they don’t work, the problem is almost always solvable without technical training. Although it’s aggravating when your VPN randomly drops your connection, the chances are good that you can handle the issue yourself without getting tech support involved.If your VPN is repeatedly disconnecting from the server, I recommend dealing with the problem immediately.

That’s not a big…

Other Good 3-in-1 Travel ChargersPhotograph: Simon HillKuxiu Qi2 25W Travel Charging Station for $79: This charger folds down to an impressively small package, and it feels pretty solid with a silicone-covered metal construction.
