Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea are set to battle in UEFA’s annual curtain-raiser.

It will be the first UEFA Super Cup hosting two English sides — Champions League winners Liverpool and Europa League victors Chelsea in Turkey later this August.

UEFA have revealed the full amount of tickets requested by the two competing clubs ahead of the showpiece occasion at Besiktas’s 41,000 capacity in the Turkish capital on 14 August.

They have now confirmed Liverpool will taken 5,973 tickets while Chelsea only asked for 1,314, meaning the six-times Champions of Europe will have more than four times as many travelling supporters than the Europa League winners.

UEFA have stressed they have fully accommodated both clubs in what they requested.

Kudos to people that have obtained tickets to UEFA Super Cup and getting ready for a good time, but what about those who want to spend their time watching UEFA Super Cup at home?

Free Streaming is not free

Pirate sites that rely on advertising, like many other free services.

With very low number of reputable brands that are willing to attach their name to illegal distribution, the sites that provide free streaming services turn to malicious ads to pull in profits.

Forced ads you’re seeing whenever streaming free content, whether it’s a big Football match, MMA fight, or a movie that just came out plant malicious software on your machine. If you stumble upon a website that is streaming free online content for your own good — never install browser plug-ins in order to stream something. Unless you want your personal information to be stolen.

There is some malicious software that can even affect normal websites that do not generate their revenue from malicious advertising due to the fact that the extension you’ve installed to stream Premier League or UEFA Super Cup is capable of changing the content of the sites you visit.

How to stream safely?

Use VPN

A VPN is like a secure tunnel for a web traffic. You connect to one of the servers and your web traffic which consists of requests you send to websites you wish to visit to responses from websites you receive back becomes encrypted by Military-grade encryption. Meaning that you will browse safely on any public Wi-Fi network while drinking coffee at Starbucks or waiting for a plane at the airport.

Trusted VPN providers have lots of servers to offer and your internet speed shouldn’t decrease as much. You should lose approximately 20% internet speed from the original, meaning you can torrent safely, stream online content without experiencing lag issues and play online games as well.

Some VPN providers have additional perks — inbuilt ad blockers that detect adware, Internet kill switches that ensure you won’t spill your personal information when disconnected from VPN, etc.

Here are some providers that are noteworthy of attention:

NordVPN ($3.49/month for 3 year subscription)

This VPN provider has a built-in adblocker that protects you from adware, perfectly works with streaming services such as Netflix.

NordVPN has more than 5000 servers in 60+ countries meaning that you can connect to almost any place in the world.

NordVPN itself operates and answers by the laws of Panama meaning that your data isn’t collected and sold to the highest bidder.

ExpressVPN ($8.32/month for 1 year)

One of the Fastest VPNs in the world.

Remarkably reliable and consistent, whether you’re connecting to a local server, or one on the other side of the world.

Private Internet Access ($3.33/month for 1 year)

Private Internet Access is a VPN that pays close attention to anonymity and affordability, and in both areas it is a compelling offering. However, key areas for improvement include support for an even broader range of platforms, such as the popular Apple TV, and introducing more servers located in a more geographically diverse number of countries.

Use Antivirus

If you don’t mind losing your personal information, files stored on your computer and even the cash from your bank account, then feel free not to use Antivirus software. However, if you do, you’ll have to choose carefully, because there are many Antivirus programs, that act as viruses or interpret normal programs to be malicious. For a person that is not tech-savvy this can be very confusing and annoying.

First three Antivirus software names that seem to be the most effective and cheap are McAfee, Norton AntiVirus Plus and Kaspersky Antivirus (You can buy it with 60% discount, don’t miss out).

Don’t install shady-looking browser extensions and plug-ins

There’s no antivirus software or VPN that can protect you from yourself. There are social engineers out there to get you too, and in order not to fall for human error — always double check whether the stuff you’re installing is actually safe. And buy that CNBC subscription for your safety’s sake, don’t be a cheap person. Stay safe online.
