Use a VPN on Public WiFi

The Problem

Coffee shop, airport, and hotel WiFi can be monitored by anyone on the network.

The Hack

Install ProtonVPN (free) or NordVPN ($3/month). Turn it on before connecting to any public WiFi network.

Why It Works

VPNs encrypt all data between your device and the VPN server. Even if someone intercepts your WiFi traffic, they see only encrypted gibberish.

Pro Tips

• ProtonVPN free tier: unlimited data, decent speed
• Auto-connect VPN when joining unknown WiFi networks
• Never access banking without VPN on public WiFi
• Also prevents ISP tracking on your home network
