in #technology7 years ago

Nowadays there are free WiFi in streetlights, restaurants and various public places. In this era of high price, the price of mobile data, a little bit of turtle free WiFi is the equivalent of nectar for many. But in the nectar, can you have any idea that the beetle may have? Yes, free WiFi can steal your confidential information, even hack an online account. But we do not use the free WiFi? Of course, only following the security tips below.

Let's know some of the security measures required to use the free WiFi.

(1) Refrain from online banking :

Free WiFi in the bus station or in the restaurant, a bottle of cold mineral water in the desert, is not it? But it will be a little slow. Free WiFi can sometimes be a trap. Never join online banking or debit / credit card numbers with any free online Wi-Fi network and do not make any online transactions. Because if there are any miscreants in the WiFi network, they can empty your bank account with your bank or card information.

(2) Use VPN :

VPN is a virtual private network, allowing you to visit any website through a different IP address. As a result, you will not need free WiFi public IP address. It will also keep your personal information safe.

(3) Do not save the network :

Mobile devices and computers often store the name of the WiFi network connected to them and automatically connect them later. Never do this job. Because, the miscreants can sometimes be auto-connected with your device by copying the name of the free WiFi hotspot and playing twelve of your privacy via its own access point.
