The safest way to use public WiFi

By The Editors /

You can’t expect a public WiFi network to be as secure as your personal, private one. Since it’s not always practical to avoid using public WiFi, especially when you’re trying to save data, you can still be cautious when using it:

• Know which network to trust

• Only use HTTP

• Limit AirDrop and file sharing

• Don’t give away too much information

• Use VPN

• Check what you’re signing up for
