   Hi all,   
 Reminder that we have an SGVLUG meeting next Thursday. Please RSVP on
Meetup or with me ASAP. Our host is providing food and drink, so it
would be nice to give them a good estimate by the end of this week.

    TIME: Thursday, April 13th, from 7pm to 9pm   LOCATION: Everbridge
Training Center, 790 E Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, CA   TOPIC: Intro to
Internet Security with Pi-Hole and OpenVPN
    SPEAKER: Andrew Witchger

   TOPIC:    Protecting your digital identity, passwords, and browsing
activity is difficult in the world of open Wifi networks, freeware,
and advanced advertising techniques based on tracking users across the
web. While complete privacy is not possible while connected to the
internet, there are many things you can do to make access to your
personal data more difficult. This presentation will focus on the
basics of internet security, how to begin protecting your network and
your data, and why it’s so important. We will focus on the two most
prominent (and easiest to fix) security vulnerabilities: encrypting
your browsing on external networks using OpenVPN, and blocking
advertising and tracking as early as possible using Pi-Hole. 

     BIO:  Andrew Witchger is the Chief Technology Officer at Federal
