Security, privacy & data protection
Neighbor & Main helps homes and small businesses reduce common risks, strengthen important accounts, protect recoverable data, review unwanted access, and make privacy settings easier to understand.
Personal protection
Privacy and security are more useful when the work covers the full path: device settings, account access, backup, recovery, browser behavior, and the network underneath it.
What “anti-spying” means here
That includes remote-access software, account sessions, browser extensions, app permissions, sharing settings, and common security warnings. It does not claim forensic detection of every form of spyware or surveillance.
Need malware or scam cleanup? →If router or device settings are the bottleneck, supported firmware, channel, band, security, quality-of-service, DNS, or adapter settings can be reviewed and adjusted. Before-and-after measurements show whether the change actually helped.
Your provider plan, wiring, router capability, device radios, distance, construction, and local interference still set the ceiling. No honest provider can guarantee a speed increase in every environment.

Published starting points
Review common warning signs, sessions, permissions, browser extensions, and remote-access tools; credited toward approved remediation.
One primary computer and up to three important accounts, including updates, MFA, permissions, encryption readiness, and backup status.
One computer and one backup destination, including encryption readiness and one test restore when supported.
Up to 90 minutes for one router or mesh controller and up to five devices, with before-and-after measurements.
Up to two hours covering core devices, accounts, router settings, backup priorities, and a written action list.
Up to five users or devices, prioritized findings, and a plain-language debrief. Assessment only; not a compliance certification.
Defined implementation for MFA, administrator cleanup, encryption, updates, backup, email security, and documentation.
If stalking, domestic abuse, evidence preservation, regulated data, bank fraud, or an active business breach may be involved, stop using the suspected device for sensitive communication and seek an appropriate safety, legal, financial, or incident-response resource.
Local, practical support
Start with the device, account, data, or network concern you can see. The first step is to define what can be checked responsibly and what requires a specialist.
