Internet Security

Protect yourself from hackers on public Wi-Fi and other unsecured networks

Why Security Matters

Every time you connect to the internet, your IP address becomes visible to websites, services, and potentially malicious actors. On unsecured networks, especially public Wi-Fi, your data can be intercepted, monitored, or stolen. Protecting your connection and IP address is crucial for maintaining your digital security and preventing unauthorized access to your personal information.

Understanding the risks helps you protect yourself better

High

Public Wi-Fi Risks

Public networks are often unsecured, making your data vulnerable to interception by hackers.
High

Man-in-the-Middle Attacks

Attackers can intercept communication between you and websites, stealing sensitive information.
High

DDoS Attacks

Your IP address can be targeted with distributed denial-of-service attacks.
Medium

IP Spoofing

Malicious actors can mask their identity by faking IP addresses to launch attacks.

Essential security measures to keep you safe online

Very High

Use a VPN

A Virtual Private Network encrypts your internet connection and masks your real IP address, providing an extra layer of security on any network.
Very High

Enable Firewall

Keep your firewall enabled to monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic based on security rules.
Very High

Use Strong Passwords

Protect your network and devices with strong, unique passwords. Enable WPA3 encryption on your Wi-Fi router.
Medium

Keep Software Updated

Regular updates patch security vulnerabilities. Enable automatic updates for your operating system and applications.
High

Use HTTPS

Always look for HTTPS in website URLs. This ensures your data is encrypted in transit, even on public networks.
Medium

Monitor Network Activity

Regularly check connected devices and monitor unusual network activity that could indicate unauthorized access.

Security Best Practices

Never access sensitive accounts (banking, email) on public Wi-Fi without a VPN
Disable automatic Wi-Fi connections to unknown networks
Use two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible
Avoid clicking suspicious links or downloading files from untrusted sources
Regularly change your router's admin password
Turn off file sharing and AirDrop when on public networks
Use a password manager to generate and store strong passwords
Enable your router's guest network for visitors
