Using the internet is becoming increasingly risky, and many people aren’t taking the precautions necessary to protect their data and ultimately themselves. Using a VPN to protect yourself is never a bad idea, but free services are often unreliable, slow, and unsafe. What you need is an affordable VPN service with a proven track record to keep your data private while you browse the internet. You have several devices, so you need it to work on multiple platforms, and you need servers close to you so you don’t suffer from slow speeds.

An old iOS trick once let you directly query Google Maps with Siri, but it’s dead now. Instead, use this workaround.

As much as I would love to be able to say ”Open Boston, Massachusetts in Google Maps,” that day is not yet here: Apple currently doesn’t offer SiriKit routing for mapping applications.

Instead, whenever I query Siri for an address, I get Maps — which isn’t always the best source for directions (especially if I need up-to-date traffic data). Back before the Maps app supported Transit directions, you could ”hack” Siri to route via Google Maps by saying ”Get directions to Boston via transit” — but these days, this command just opens the Maps app’s direct Transit directions instead.

But there’s still a way to open Google Maps with your voice whenever you want to use an alternative mapping service: Here’s how to do it.
