In an ever growing ubiqitous digital world, we are attuned to connecting our devices to both public and private wi-fi networks. However, due to this familiarity, we tend to overlook the security of these connections. You should never use a public wi-fi network unless you are using a Virtual Private Network, also known as a VPN.
A VPN encrypts the data between your device and the VPN server so that your online activity is hidden from cybercriminals and snoops over a public network. VPNs hide your IP address, browsing activity and personal data, even at home. This means it is more difficult for cybercriminals to gain access to data on your device.
