What you need to know to be network secure on your computers when on public hotspots (or anywhere that is not your work or home network).
The How To Geek wrote a comprehensive article.
These guys did an excellent job covering everything you should know. My only complaint about the article is they didn’t stress how important a VPN is for secure network use when in the wild. Use a VPN– ALWAYS. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network. If you want to know more, use google.
Below I’ll go into more detail on my concerns and the steps to setup a VPN on your home network, so you can secure your network access from almost anywhere in the world.
