NEVER make the mistake of taking a shower if you have two middle aged cats named Bu and Dupe and they are in a slightly restless mood and your modem, router, menorah, pelican-turtle statue, decorative tankard of unknown origin, $1 purple paper Halloween lantern, aunt's glass "trifle dish," and hats are all up on a high shelf above the glass recycling.

Virtuelle Private Netzwerke (VPN): Sicher und anonym im Internet unterwegs

Virtuelle Private Netzwerke, kurz VPNs, erfreuen sich wachsender Beliebtheit. Aber was genau ist ein VPN und welche Vorteile bietet es Ihnen? Im Folgenden erfahren Sie alles Wissenswerte rund um VPNs.

Was ist ein Virtuelles Privates Netzwerk (VPN)?

Ein Virtuelles Privates Netzwerk (VPN) schafft einen sicheren Tunnel zwischen Ihrem Gerät (Computer, Smartphone, Tablet) und einem entfernten Server. Dieser Tunnel verschlüsselt Ihre gesamte Internetkommunikation, sodass Außenstehende Ihre Daten nicht einsehen oder abfangen können. Stellen Sie sich das VPN bildlich wie einen geheimen Gang vor, der Ihr Gerät mit dem Internet verbindet, ohne dass jemand von außen diesen Gang einsehen kann.

Wie funktioniert ein VPN?

Verbindungsaufbau: Sie stellen mit Ihrem Gerät eine Verbindung zu einem VPN-Server her. Dieser Server wird von einem VPN-Anbieter betrieben.

Datenverschlüsselung: Ihr gesamter Datenverkehr wird verschlüsselt, bevor er Ihr Gerät verlässt. Nur der VPN-Server kann die Daten wieder entschlüsseln.

Umleitung des Datenverkehrs: Ihre Daten werden über den verschlüsselten Tunnel zum VPN-Server geleitet.

Weiterleitung ans Ziel: Der VPN-Server leitet Ihre Daten dann an das von Ihnen gewünschte Ziel im Internet weiter.

Rückweg: Die Antwort vom Ziel im Internet durchläuft den gleichen Weg zurück und wird erst am VPN-Server entschlüsselt.

Entschlüsselung: Der VPN-Server entschlüsselt die Daten und sendet sie an Ihr Gerät.

Welche Vorteile bietet ein VPN?

Sicherheit: Der verschlüsselte Tunnel schützt Ihre Daten vor Spionage durch Hacker, Internetanbieter oder andere Dritte.

Anonymität: Ihre tatsächliche IP-Adresse wird durch die IP-Adresse des VPN-Servers maskiert. Dadurch surfen Sie anonym im Internet und Ihr Standort bleibt verborgen.

Umgehen von geografischen Beschränkungen: Viele Websites und Online-Dienste sind regional beschränkt. Mit einem VPN können Sie sich mit einem Server in einem anderen Land verbinden und so auf diese Dienste zugreifen.

Öffentliche WLANs sicher nutzen: In öffentlichen WLAN-Netzwerken (z.B. in Cafés, Hotels oder Flughäfen) sind Ihre Daten besonders gefährdet. Ein VPN schützt Ihre Daten auch in unsicheren WLANs.

Zensur umgehen: In einigen Ländern wird der Internetzugang zensiert. Mit einem VPN können Sie diese Zensur umgehen und auf alle gewünschten Inhalte zugreifen.

Einsatzbereiche von VPNs

VPNs werden in verschiedenen Bereichen eingesetzt:

Privatpersonen:

Sichern die Datenübertragung im öffentlichen WLAN.

Umgehen geografische Beschränkungen beim Streaming oder Online-Shopping.

Schützen die Privatsphäre beim Surfen im Internet.

Unternehmen:

Ermöglichen Mitarbeitern den sicheren Fernzugriff auf Unternehmensnetzwerke.

Schützen sensible Unternehmensdaten.

Verbinden verschiedene Unternehmensstandorte miteinander.

Worauf sollten Sie bei der Auswahl eines VPN-Anbieters achten?

Sicherheit: Achten Sie auf ein sicheres Verschlüsselungsprotokoll und eine strikte No-Logs-Policy (der Anbieter speichert keine Daten über Ihre Aktivitäten).

Geschwindigkeit: Ein guter VPN-Anbieter sollte die Geschwindigkeit Ihrer Internetverbindung möglichst wenig beeinträchtigen.

Serverstandorte: Wählen Sie einen Anbieter mit Servern in den gewünschten Ländern.

Geräteunterstützung: Stellen Sie sicher, dass der VPN-Anbieter Software für Ihr Gerät (Computer, Smartphone, Tablet) anbietet.

Preis: Es gibt kostenlose und kostenpflichtige VPN-Anbieter. Kostenlose VPNs bieten oft weniger Funktionen und können weniger sicher sein.

Fazit

Virtuelle Private Netzwerke bieten eine einfache und effektive Möglichkeit, Ihre Daten im Internet zu schützen und anonym zu surfen. Achten Sie bei der Auswahl eines VPN-Anbieters auf die genannten Kriterien, um den für Ihre Bedürfnisse passenden Anbieter zu finden.

Zusätzliche Hinweise:

Die Nutzung von VPNs kann in einigen Ländern illegal sein. Informieren Sie sich daher vor der Nutzung über die rechtlichen Bestimmungen in Ihrem Land.

VPNs können die Geschwindigkeit Ihrer Internetverbindung geringfügig verlangsamen.

Mit diesem grundlegenden Wissen über Virtuelle Private Netzwerke können Sie entscheiden, ob ein VPN für Sie sinnvoll ist und die richtige Wahl für Ihre Anonymität und Sicherheit im Internet treffen.

African poverty is partly a consequence of energy poverty. In every other continent the vast majority of people have access to electricity. In Africa 600m people, 43% of the total, cannot readily light their homes or charge their phones. And those who nominally have grid electricity find it as reliable as a Scottish summer. More than three-quarters of African firms experience outages; two-fifths say electricity is the main constraint on their business.

If other sub-Saharan African countries had enjoyed power as reliable as South Africa’s from 1995 to 2007, then the continent’s rate of real GDP growth per person would have been two percentage points higher, more than doubling the actual rate, according to one academic paper. Since then South Africa has also had erratic electricity. So-called “load-shedding” is probably the main reason why the economy has shrunk in four of the past eight quarters.

Solar power is increasingly seen as the solution. Last year Africa installed a record amount of photovoltaic (PV) capacity (though this still made up just 1% of the total added worldwide), notes the African Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), a trade group. Globally most solar PV is built by utilities, but in Africa 65% of new capacity over the past two years has come from large firms contracting directly with developers. These deals are part of a decentralised revolution that could be of huge benefit to African economies.

Ground zero for the revolution is South Africa. Last year saw a record number of blackouts imposed by Eskom, the state-run utility, whose dysfunctional coal-fired power stations regularly break down or operate at far below capacity. Fortunately, as load-shedding was peaking, the costs of solar systems were plummeting.

Between 2019 and 2023 the cost of panels fell by 15%, having already declined by almost 90% in the 2010s. Meanwhile battery storage systems now cost about half as much as five years ago. Industrial users pay 20-40% less per unit when buying electricity from private project developers than on the cheapest Eskom tariff.

In the past two calendar years the amount of solar capacity in South Africa rose from 2.8GW to 7.8GW, notes AFSIA, excluding that installed on the roofs of suburban homes. All together South Africa’s solar capacity could now be almost a fifth of that of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations (albeit those still have a higher “capacity factor”, or ability to produce electricity around the clock). The growth of solar is a key reason why there has been less load-shedding in 2024...

Over the past decade the number of startups providing “distributed renewable energy” (DRE) has grown at a clip. Industry estimates suggest that more than 400m Africans get electricity from solar home systems and that more than ten times as many “mini-grids”, most of which use solar, were built in 2016-20 than in the preceding five years. In Kenya DRE firms employ more than six times as many people as the largest utility. In Nigeria they have created almost as many jobs as the oil and gas industry.

“The future is an extremely distributed system to an extent that people haven’t fully grasped,” argues Matthew Tilleard of CrossBoundary Group, a firm whose customers range from large businesses to hitherto unconnected consumers. “It’s going to happen here in Africa first and most consequentially.”

Ignite, which operates in nine African countries, has products that include a basic panel that powers three light bulbs and a phone charger, as well as solar-powered irrigation pumps, stoves and internet routers, and industrial systems. Customers use mobile money to “unlock” a pay-as-you-go meter.

Yariv Cohen, Ignite’s CEO, reckons that the typical $3 per month spent by consumers is less than what they previously paid for kerosene and at phone-charging kiosks. He describes how farmers are more productive because they do not have to get home before dark and children are getting better test scores because they study under bulbs. One family in Rwanda used to keep their two cows in their house because they feared rustlers might come in the dark; now the cattle snooze al fresco under an outside lamp and the family gets more sleep.

...That is one eye-catching aspect of Africa’s solar revolution. But most of the continent is undergoing a more subtle—and significant—experiment in decentralised, commercially driven solar power. It is a trend that could both transform African economies and offer lessons to the rest of the world."

౨ৎ break-in, streamer reader, the rest is up to your imagination.

the screen flickers on. 

“okay, i think it’s working now—hello? can you guys hear me?” 

the chat floods in almost immediately. 

sailore: new place who dis?

xx903k: echoooo lol ur apartment is empty af

honeypotato: yess finally!!

you laugh, adjusting the webcam a little and shifting in your chair. your new condo still smells like cardboard and fresh paint. the walls are bare, the light’s a little dim, and there’s a faint hum coming from the fridge in the kitchen. 

“it’s empty?—yeah it’s just me and my chair and some ikea boxes,” you say, sipping from your mug. “but i did promise a late-night stream to celebrate with you guys! i’m just so happy.” 

amigod: apartment tour?? before and after?

imisspipier: is it big??

you nod. “i would but it’s so empty, like there’s literally nothing to show you guys.” you say, scooting the chair back a little to show your viewers how your bed doesn’t even have a frame—just the mattress. your clothes are still unpacked in the moving boxes, and there’s an extension cord stretched across the floor. “behold,” you say, gesturing dramatically. “the pinnacle of interior design.”

“i live like a college freshman who dropped out,” you add, laughing. “but no offense.” 

ratking: that extension cord is so final destination. 

PKJam: when did you move?? 

your eyes scan the chat, and perk up at the message. “oh, remember when i said that i think my old apartment was haunted?” you pause, grimacing at the memory. “yeah. i think it actually was. my items were misplaced, like, everywhere. i contacted my landlord but she doesn’t wanna do anything about it so i moved out,” you chuckle, shrugging. “it’s closer to my friends here anyway.” 

the chat continues to move—asking questions about your day and requests that you play a game or a song. you ease back into the chair, camera catching the way you fold your knees and press them against your chest. “you guys are so unserious,” you say, eyes flickering over the comments and trying to catch up. “i would play a game, but it’s already past 1 a.m. and i don’t want to piss my new neighbours off…” 

 lolabuns: you’re lagging girl

“yeah… my wifi router is all the way in the living room. i haven’t gotten one installed yet in my room,” you murmur in reply, bottom lip tugging into a small pout out of guilt. “sorry but let me know if it crashes, yeah?” 

the stream settles into that strange but familiar sort of rhythm again—chat spiraling off into unrelated jokes, viewer count slowly climbing higher. maybe it’s the late-night timing on a weekday.

you hum softly under your breath, leaning in to type something on your keyboard when—

knock.

you freeze momentarily, turning your head slightly towards the door of your bedroom. you pause, fingers hovering above the keys. 

nothing follows. no second knock. no footsteps. no nothing. 

just silence. 

you wait another second, holding your breath like it might help you hear better. “...huh,” you mutter, shaking your head as you look back at the screen. “have you guys listened to the new the marias album?” you ask casually enough, fingers tapping on the keyboard. 

the silence doesn’t last five minutes. 

knock. knock. knock.

this time, it’s slightly firmer and louder than before. still measured—three knocks. not aggressive or desperate, but still…. your hands stop moving over the keyboard, you frown as your eyes flicker up to the screen, waiting to see if the chat caught it too. 

they did.

ns3000: ? again

cellerry: did you lock the door yet???? 

d1cks0ut: okay so did anyone hear the knockings

you glance toward your bedroom door that you left slightly open just enough for the hallway light to bleed through faintly. but you don’t move from your seat.

“uhm,” you mutter. barely above a whisper. you can feel your heart give a strange flutter. 

you tell yourself that it’s probably nothing—but the hairs on your arms rise. 

“this place is already so weird,” you continue, shaking your head and shifting in your seat. “it’s the new condo thing… i’m not superstitious but, who knows…” you murmur, looking back at the camera. you try to laugh and shrug it off as nothing, but the silence that follows feels heavier now.

you wait for the chat to reassure you. 

cheetocheesefingers: dont gaslight yourself lmao

axera: i would never knock twice im respectful 

ksh998: the ghost from ur old apartment followed u here LOL

meliss4: call ur boyfriend for help!!

“boyfriend—?” you chuckle, smiling. “do you guys think i’m capable of bagging one? be honest.” you shake your head, leaning back in your chair. “if i ever have a boyf—”

knock, knock, knock—

loud, sharp, and right in the middle of your sentence.

it snaps the smile clean off your face. you whip your head almost instantly, eyebrows furrowing in confusion and slight frustration. are they a bunch of lousy teenagers playing stupid pranks on new tenants? 

now you’re just annoyed. 

you sit forward, pushing your glasses up slightly on the bridge of your nose as you push back your chair. “okay, what the hell,” you mutter, standing up, the camera catches the lower half of your body. “whoever’s playing ding-dong-ditch in a building at this hour needs to get their crap straight.”

cocohum: NO STAY PUT

bacon01: STAY WTF CALL SOMEONE

iris_99: YN DONT CHECK 

icebaby: this is so scripted

you ignore the flood of panicked messages of your viewers telling you to not check who’s at the front door. the wooden floor creaks softly under your feet as you step out of frame, leaving your webcam aimed at your mattress and stream running. 

from the mic, it catches the sound of your doorknob turning, followed with a low creak. then faintly and muffled, your viewer catches your voice. 

“oh—hello, can i help you?” 

they don’t hear what the other person says. it’s too low, a rumble of syllables lost in distance and static. but whatever is it—it makes your tone shift. you reply something again, a little sharper like you didn’t like what you heard. 

“uh, no—this isn’t….. yeah, i think you got the wrong house—” 

the voice responds again, still too quiet to understand. 

then, comes the edge in your voice. “no, really—this isn’t—you need to leave.” 

a pause. 

“get out.”

miss_muffin: i cant hear shit what did they say?

valentina12: ? who is that whats happening

hovey_v7: where’s yn?

before anyone in the chat can answer and update those who just joined, a short scuffle, the sound of something—someone—moving too fast can be heard through the mic. your voice again, panicked and high-pitched now telling the other person to get out and it sounds like you’re trying to keep the door closed.

“no—get out, oh my god! get off me!” 

something slams and something breaks—the door slams shut loud enough that the mic peaks, briefly distorting the sound. more movement erupts after that, fast and frantic of shuffling footsteps and grunts of resistance. 

then comes your voice again, breathless, scared, and desperate—”don’t touch me!” 

the scuffling continues for a few more seconds, your voice rising once more, now muffled and crying but it cuts off abruptly with a dull, sound of impact of flesh or bone or body hitting the floor. 

something shifts, someone’s panting in the background that doesn’t sound like you. it’s harsher and manlier and too loud. 

chubbyguy: hello? i cant hear anything.

bvrn1: holy fuck

newyorkgoofy: SOMEONE CALL 911 

bellatio: WHERE IS SHE FROM

 icebaby: is this fake? no way wtf

silence. just the low static hum of your mic, the soft mechanical buzz from your computer fan, and the faint hum of your fridge in the kitchen.

your chair remains empty on the screen, spinning ever so slightly. the room feels impossibly still like it’s frozen in time, waiting for you to return.

but their streamer doesn’t come back. 

a few seconds stretch on, the viewers climb in numbers frantically—more and more people flooding the chat, messages growing urgent. messages flood in—pleas, prayers, desperate calls for help, and confusion—but there’s no confirmation. 

a minute later, without warning, the stream goes dark.

Disconnected: Network Error.
