Public Wi‑Fi Safety: 7 Risks and How a VPN Helps (With One‑Tap Setup)
Public hotspots are convenient but expose you to snooping, fake networks, and tracking. Here’s how to stay safe—and why a VPN is step one.
1) Rogue hotspots & evil‑twins
Attackers clone a café SSID to intercept traffic. Confirm the network name with staff and use a VPN to encrypt all data.
2) Open network snooping
Unencrypted Wi‑Fi lets others capture plaintext connections. A VPN prevents passive sniffing and session hijacking.
3) HTTPS isn’t a silver bullet
Mixed content and DNS can still leak. A VPN tunnels all app traffic.
