The best Usenet providers offer SSL security on their connections, but it’s up to you to actually use them. It might require an additional step in the setup process to make sure you’re protected, but it’s worth the effort for the additional security.
You should also give a lot of consideration to providers that come with security extras like VPNs, ad blocking, and antivirus solutions. These will help keep your computer running smoothly, protect your identity, and prevent many of the worst cybersecurity threats.
