VPN (Virtual Private Network)
|
Most public wi-fi hotspots
are not secure and make your computer and communications vulnerable to
hackers and security breaches. A VPN gives you a simple solution to
maintain your anonymity and protect your privacy when accessing free
wi-fi hotspots.
The problem: VPN's
can be expensive, and it's not something the "average" computer user
can set up and maintain.
The solution: Use a
"Free" vpn! The one I recommend is Hotspot
Shield.
If you connect to free
wi-fi's, ie Hotels, Airports, Starbucks (not free...but not secure!)
you need to connect, then start up your VPN.
A VPN:
- Ensures your computer remains anonymous and private
when logged on to free wi-fi hotspots.
- Auto encrypts and protects inbound / outbound
Internet traffic (email, instant messaging, VoIP calls, web surfing,
etc.) as it's transmitted thru the air, using wi-fi.
- Thwarts wireless hackers keeping your personal data
locked down while using an unsecured hotspot.
- Provides professional security and protection
without expensive or complex requirements.
