Secure WIFI
- Thread starter mdssac
- Start date
It's a VPN service, which is what's usually used to secure yourself when using open WiFi. I use a VPN pretty much all the time, but that's really because I'm in China, but also keeps me secure on open WiFi as well. For me having a VPN is definitely worth it.

Whenever you are letting your phone to connect to ANY public WiFi network, you should just automatically consider it's not secure.

Do you spend a lot of time on public wifi ?
Are you sending NSA style files and such?
Do you have a couple dollars to burn?
Ask yourself this: have you ever connected to unsecure networks before? ;-)
For me its not worth the cost and reduced bandwidth/speed for my needs.

Have you used open wifi before and have accessed your websites in that way? Have any issues? Then no, i think this is not worth the money.
Of course Its your money and your comfort level.
this is my own opinion and as always, YMMV.

I wouldn't... Check out Adguard pro from the play store, it works with any browser as a VPN connection

Thank you. Never had any issues at all. Well, that I know of. Sounds like most of you DON'T use a secure wifi app. I won't either. Ty
