Hi everyone !! Today I am going to tell you about how to protect yourself while you are online at University, Library, the Airport, or Coffee shop anywhere you go that you want to connect the internet.
Anyone else who connected same router as you, can snoop through and see what you are doing online. So what we can do about this?
There is one popular technology to accomplish this, that is Virtual Private Networks. Everyone knows as a VPN which is using private network that uses internet to connect remote sites or users together. Private networks use private address spaces which are not able to route via internet. In other words, private addresses are not globally delegated. Early days we used to use Leased lines as a private network. Leased lines are dedicated single wide-area network for business purposes. Though they are reliable and more secure, the amount of cost that companies have to spend for them are increasing day by day. Because of that reason now companies use Intranet instead.
If you are accessing internet as single user, you probably do not want to make a home private network, because of the cost. So what you can do is you can install simple VPN software on your home pc or laptop like free version of Hotspot Shield VPN to access internet .
So what you can gain from using tool like Hotspot Shield. It provides encrypted secure web browsing session when using public Wi-Fi on your computer and protect against phishing and malware. And able to bypass internet filters, surf internet anonymously without monitoring, tracking or intercepting your web activity neither by snoopers or Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You can use Hotspot Shield not only for your PCs but also for Android Phones, iPhones, and iPads. App is always running in the background and encrypt everything which you sent through Wi-Fi or data connections. So try not to loose your online IDs, passwords, credit card information and other sensitive information. Till next time then. Good Luck!
