Getting paid directly on your website is usually a difficult aspect in any business, even more so for SMEs and freelancers in LATAM. That’s why I started to investigate which are the best payment gateways available in Latin America and I leave you with the best options here.
ONLINE SECURITY
LastPass o 1Password
Passwords are the heart of our digital lives and the keys to our bank accounts, website, emails, social media profiles and everything in between.
Just as common criminals try to steal money, watches, cars, etc., it is possible for “cybercriminals” (and even some envious ones) to try to steal your passwords and exploit your content.
Therefore, it is imperative to use a secure application, capable of creating and saving passwords with a good level of security.
Private Internet Access (VPN)
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is absolutely necessary for a digital nomad.
It protects you when you are surfing, by creating an encrypted connection between your computer and a server. This is especially important when you are connected to a public network, such as in a cafe, or at an airport, since on these public networks anyone can monitor traffic and see where you are surfing and the information you exchange with a website (such as passwords, bank accounts, credit cards, etc.).
