Use Hotel Wifi Safely with a VPN
The Problem
You connect to hotel WiFi and check your bank account, email, and shop online. All unprotected.
The Hack
Turn on your VPN before connecting to hotel WiFi. Keep it on for the entire stay. Do banking, email, and shopping through the encrypted tunnel.
Why It Works
Hotel WiFi networks are shared among hundreds of guests. Without encryption, anyone on the network can potentially intercept your data. A VPN encrypts everything you send and receive.
Pro Tips
- Turn on VPN BEFORE connecting to the WiFi
- ProtonVPN free or NordVPN/ExpressVPN $3-6/month
