Public WiFi: Staying Safe
How Do I Secure My Internet Connection In A Public WiFi Hotspot?
In a Public WiFi, you can secure your wireless internet connection using our VPN Service to create several security layers which will prevent access to your data from those who are locally at the Hotspot, as well as other criminals scattered across the internet.
This is an end all and absolutely necessary solution to secure public WiFi!!
In technical terms, Private Internet Access (PIA) deploys state of the art OpenVPN SSL based encryption layers over all the tunneled connections. There will never be an unencrypted moment. As long as your data connection is encrypted, even if they can access your data at a Public WiFi, they will not be able to decipher the data. It will look like cryptographic gibberish.
Who should secure their connection?
If you engage in any of the following in a Public WiFi, you should certainly consider adding strong public wifi security encryption layers to protect your privacy and your data:
- Check your e-mail.
- Log in to social networking websites.
- Log in to bank accounts.
- Share sensitive data online.
- Wish to secure your connection from prying eyes.
- Use the internet at a library.
- Use the internet at a cafe, bookstore or hotel.
- Use the internet at an airport.
...then you absolutely should consider Public WiFi security.
Is it easy?
It is very easy and typically only takes a few minutes to connect.
