How to get security on Wi-Fi hotspots

Unencrypted Internet traffic can be vulnerable on hotspots and if you want to secure it you should perform VPN (stands for a Virtual Private Network). Connection to aVPN server would make your traffic online encrypted, therefore Wi-Fi intruders are not able to capture it. There are free programs that will help you to cope with it and AnchorFree’s Hotspot Shield is one of such solutions that are highly assessed internationally.
After a VPN client is selected you should make sure that there is no access to your computer or to some folders on Wi-Fi enabled laptop, tablet or smartphone. If you use Windows Vista or Windows 7 you can just choose the Public network type subsequent to connecting. After it Windows puts sharing out of action and this is performed automatically. But users of Windows XP must disable sharing via the Network Connection Properties window manually. It is necessary to make certain that you have a personal firewall utility, for instance, Windows Firewall that can block all hacking efforts.
Here are some additional tips for those who want to feel secure on hotspots.
  • Change your password and usernames from time to time
  • Do not enter personal data when you are not secure on public hot spot
  • Learn the ways of sharing adjustment
  • Employ privacy settings on your laptop
  • Use a VPN
