The list goes on, but here are some of the most important points:
The easiest way to avoid all these threats is by securing your data. Protect yourself with a Wi-Fi VPN.
The easiest and most secure way to protect yourself is by using a VPN. Here are some alternatives:
This function allows your device to send and download files automatically. It's better to stay away from using AirDrop on iOS or automatic sharing of printers and files for PCs on public Wi-Fi.
Hackers can name their networks the same as public Wi-Fi hotspots to trick your device. Always connect manually to avoid these traps or ask the staff at your location which network you should connect to.
Don’t log in to any websites or services while on Wi-Fi. But, if necessary, use a password manager that safeguards all your passwords or a service that uses two-factor authentication. This includes bank accounts and other services that may require your personal information.
A VPN turns all the information that leaves your device into an unreadable mess. If a hacker wants to steal this information, it can be a challenge to read or use any of it.
When you use a VPN, your IP address remains a secret. This is because when you connect to a server (i.e., Miami), it has a different IP. So, anyone who sees this connection will think you are browsing from Miami. Neat, right?
Protocols define the way a VPN secures your connection. Although automatic, you can also choose from IKEv2, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, WireGuard®.
This feature disconnects you from the internet if the VPN protection drops. That way, you don’t start sending unencrypted data by accident.
All web traffic passing through a VPN is encrypted, letting you send and receive sensitive information or files securely.
Rest assured that all your banking information stays between you and your bank. No hackers, no prying eyes, nobody.
A VPN lets you easily stay protected while connected to an unknown network. It keeps all your browsing and information private, even at Starbucks or any other cafe!
Prying eyes are all over the internet, but you can avoid them by simply using a VPN. Nobody should have the right to peep on your online activities!
Using a virtual private network (VPN) when connected to a public Wi-Fi network can potentially protect you from hackers, tracking, and much more. All data is encrypted, meaning anyone who happens to get hold of this information will not be able to read it.
Yes, there is nothing that prevents you from using a VPN on Wi-Fi. If your device can support a VPN, it can be protected.
No, it does not. But a VPN can protect you while you’re using free Wi-Fi.
Most public Wi-Fi networks are open, therefore they don’t require a password to connect. If this is the case, it’s possible that upon connecting, you agree to their terms. In turn, your permission allows them to track, log, and even pass all of your information to third parties.
