- My brother always uses public conections, like public libraries or cultural centers, to do his online works. He has an important job and manage sensible information about clients and business. I think this is not a good idea to use public wi-fi connections to do so… What do you think and why…
- Information about the problem
- Five good tips to avoid or solve the problem:
1. Use a Reliable VPN (Virtual Private Network):
·
A
VPN encrypts all your traffic, even on public networks.
·
It
makes your online activity invisible to others on the same network.
·
Good
VPNs: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN (free limited version available).
2. Avoid Accesing Sensitive Services:
- Avoid Accessing Sensitive Services
· Never log in to banking, work dashboards, or confidential platforms on public Wi-Fi unless protected by a VPN.
· Wait until on a secure network — or use mobile data for safer access if necessary.
3. Use
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) Everywhere:
·
Even
if someone gets your login credentials, they can’t access accounts without your
second authentication method.
·
Enable
2FA on email, work apps, cloud storage, etc.
4. Turn
Off Auto-Connect and File Sharing:
·
Disable
auto-join for open networks and file/printer sharing in
your device settings.
·
On
Windows/Mac, set public Wi-Fi networks as “Public” (not “Home” or “Trusted”).
5. Create
a Personal Hotspot (When Possible):
·
If
he has a phone with mobile data, he can create a secure hotspot and work from
that.
·
Far
safer than public Wi-Fi, especially if he has unlimited or large data plans.
