Moving with the military? Know this one thing!

Published: September 12, 2022

It’s a well-known fact that you’re no stranger to moving as a military family. In fact, you could probably consider yourself a moving “expert” thanks to new orders every couple of years. While most of us understand the basics of a move — our stuff gets boxed, moved, we unpack, organize, and more — some of the most important tasks of a move are tackling the things you don’t see. Like transferring records, doctors, cable and internet, and security services. 

As a military family, even though you may not want to add one more thing to your moving to-do list, ensuring your personal data online is safe, and that can be as easy as V-P-N. What’s a VPN?

Should I get one?

“100%, YES,” suggests Aura, an expert in digital security and a trusted Blue Star Partner. “Frequent moves put service members and their spouses in the unfortunate situation where you’re sharing your personal info frequently and with many people. A VPN can help you live with the peace of mind that your online activities remain private and secure no matter where the military takes you.” 

You’ve probably heard your spouse mention a VPN. And if not, totally okay. Most service members are intimately familiar with VPNs because of their line of work, but that doesn’t mean they’ve installed one for YOU. Ask ​​’em, and if they haven’t, now’s the time — especially if you’re settling into a new home.
