What a VPN does is send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it is directly connected to a private network. So I’ve gotten into the habit of securing my online activity by using a VPN (a virtual public network). No matter what the hotel staff says or the local faux Starbucks café, I personally won’t hedge my bets that there isn’t someone three tables down or at the end of the lobby who is trying to intercept my data. The thing is, one is always leaving themselves vulnerable when using a public Wi-Fi network. My family tends to be frugal when traveling (which is why we’ve been able to go to all the places we’ve been), and so we’ll only connect online outside the United States if we can get free Wi-Fi. I’ve been to some posh places and to some down right scary ones. If you take a peek at the top right hand corner of my blog, you’ll read a little bit about me, and then you’ll see that I’m a World Traveler.
