Public Wi-Fi hotspots are super-convenient, but are often less secure than your home network. How can they be vulnerable, and what can you do to protect yourself?

In my first year of software development in college, during our orientation, we were warned on the first day to never purchase anything with a credit card because people have had their numbers and identities stolen before. It is also noteworthy that my college was teaching a networking security course and it was discontinued because a student was able to rig the results of the student association elections using the skills they were taught.

No1 tip - use the internet speed meter always notification (may be it's inbuilt or download one third party like internet speed meter lite) And when ever your data is being transferring (For no reason)you can see it by seeing the high speed in the notification. Once I connected a open wifi in a shop and I suddenly see that my internet consumption suddenly increased,I I instantly off the wifi . And then see the data usage stats and I noticed that In past few seconds my chrome and message app data usage become 100s of MBs. Proof that all of this data is transferred to some hacker. Be aware !! 🙅

VPNs are useful for more than just having a secure connection. GEMA in Germany forces KZfaq to block a large number of (mostly music) videos. Me? I set up a VPN to the US when I was stationed in Germany, allowing me to access any content I could access in the US but not in Germany.

Question, if I set up a VPN server on my router and connect to it via my android phone on a public WIFI, will it be secure when using apps (gmail, etc) while on the public WiFi? Or is that security only when accessing items on my home network ? Will it do a passthrough once connected and use my home internet for everything?

Linus: can you please do a video to explain how we might identify if the VPN service we have bought is actually trustworthy. The VPN I purchased CLAIMS that the traffic is encrypted, CLAIMS that the servers are in 36 different countries, and CLAIMS not to keep logs of our activity. How do I know that the VPN service isn't actually Skippy sitting in his mom's basement in Saskatchewan, monitoring all my activity and just waiting until I put in the ID and password for my facebook, or email, or online banking. Is there any way to identify if any of the claims of my VPN provider are actually true?

If you see a certificate warning on a not well known site maybe is becouse it is not in the database of your browser. As you can see i did a bit of reserch about this :)

You know there's plenty of msf exploits that still work on many windows machines which will give you a remote command line to their computer with the ability to upload files just by being connected to the same network and having kali 2.0 on your laptop in the shady white van outside. From there you could launch a RAT on their PC, and when that happens VPNs and https aren't going to help.. at all.
