Many people have heard of the acronym 'VPN' when issues relating to internet security are discussed. Indeed, many people also know that 'VPN' stands for 'Virtual Private Network', but what's sometimes not entirely clear is what a VPN is, and why VPNs are important.
Virtual Private Networks are a way to ensure that your internet usage is 100% encrypted between your devices, and the internet. When using a mobile device over a mobile network, or when using your laptop in an overseas country, using public networks is common, and is one way for you to stay engaged while on the go.
But with the increased usage of public wifi networks, there are also hidden dangers that exist within public wifi's. Dangers which lurk on public wifi's include network packet interception by hackers, virus infection through compromised and malicious files, as well as traffic (packet) hijacking (which presents data that looks genuine, but might be of a compromised nature).
Staying safe online, and being secure while using public wifi's is vital. Using work networks for private internet usage also opens you up to potential disciplinary action if the data is intercepted by your workplace, allowing your superiors or colleagues to know private or sensitive information about you, and your interests. Maintain your privacy and anonymity by using a VPN from WebGo when using your private hand-held devices on work-based networks.
