Do You VPN?

If you travel for business, it is highly likely you’ve connected to the free Wi-Fi in the airport terminal, local coffee shop or even on public transit. Have you ever connected to that free Wi-Fi in your hotel room and gotten a creeping sense of dread, wondering if anyone might be able to see what you’re doing online? That’s not just a feeling, it’s a reality. Public and free Wi-Fi networks are the playground of cyber thieves. With a VPN – Virtual Private Network – you can protect your online transactions from snooping eyes.

What Is a VPN, and How Does It Work?

A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between you and a remote server operated by a VPN service. All your internet traffic is routed through this tunnel, so your data is secure from prying eyes along the way. Because your traffic is exiting the VPN server, your computer appears to have the IP address of VPN service server, masking your identity and location.

Do I Need a VPN On All My Devices?

Short answer is yes. You need a VPN on all your devices that connect to Wi-Fi outside your trusted office or home network. For the most part, VPN clients are the same for both Windows and macOS.

What a VPN Won’t Do

Even with a VPN, things like cookies allow companies to track your internet usage even after you’ve left their sites.

Protect Yourself With a VPN

Today, many of us have multiple devices that connect to the web. Modern devices are more powerful than the top computers of just 10 years ago. The internet however, hasn’t really changed. It was designed to be distributed and insecure. Cyber criminals take advantage of the insecure nature of the Internet. This means, unfortunately, it is up to individuals to protect themselves. Antivirus apps and password managers go a long way toward keeping you safer, but a VPN is a uniquely powerful tool that you should definitely have in your personal security toolkit, especially in today’s connected world.
