This week I taught a couple of classes to the new missionaries who have joined our mission board. In my notes I highlighted several tools. Here are the tools I talked about, they range from creating back ups to VPN to malware. If there is a MissionaryGeek article on the topic, I will link to it for further information. Otherwise you can use this list to do further research on your own.
While there are many good choices in most of these categories, I have tried to limit the list to just a few so that it is not too overwhelming. Please let me know in the comments if there is a significantly better tool that I can recommend.
3-2-1 Backup: at least 3 copies, 2 medium, 1 off site
Antivirus/Malware/Spyware
Password Management
Hard Drive Erasing
VPN
Internet Filter / Proxy Service
Thanks for the concise, hyperlinked list, David. I’ll be sharing a link to this list with the Edify Hub followers.
If we adjust the “Internet Filter / Proxy Service” to include “Accountability”, then I’d strongly recommend Accountable2You over Covenant Eyes to anyone with an Android device. This post explains why:
