Public Wi-Fi hotspots can be found at many places. You can easily connect to a hotspot at cafe, fast food restaurant, shopping mall, airport or other public locations. However, most of the public Wi-Fi hotspots are not so secure which make your computer vulnerable to nearby hackers who try to sniff your packers or snoop at whatever data that you send over a wireless network. Therefore, it is very crucial to protect your privacy, especially when you are accessing Wi-Fi hotspot.
Hotspot Shield is a freeware security application that will ensure you are private, secure and anonymous online when accessing free Wi-Fi hotspots. This freeware creates a virtual private network (VPN) between your laptop and the wireless router, which keeps your Internet connection secure at public location. All of your data and packets is encrypted, shielding you from snoopers and hackers.
Here is some key features of Hotspot Shield :
- Hide your IP while you’re on-line
- Access all content without censorship; bypass firewalls
- Protect yourself from snoopers at Wi-Fi hotspots, hotels, airports, corporate offices and ISP hubs.
Next time when you are accessing Internet using public Wi-Fi hotspots, be sure to turn on Hotspot Shield.
