Connecting to a public WiFi network is at times convenient, like when you’re without internet service or can’t get any bars on your phone. On the other hand, connecting to public WiFi can be a risky endeavor. It’s impossible to be sure that someone else isn’t connecting to the same network to snoop on what you’re doing. Even if your traffic is encrypted they can still see which sites you are visiting. And if you’re using an app that doesn’t have encryption — and even today, many don’t — then they can see everything you are doing.

Ferbining meitsje mei in iepenbier wifinetwurk is somtiden handich, bygelyks as jo gjin ynternet hawwe of gjin streekjes op jo telefoan krije kinne. Oan de oare kant kin ferbining meitsje mei iepenbiere wifi in riskante ûndernimming wêze. It is net mooglik om mei wissichheid te sizzen dat in oar gjin ferbining makket mei itselde netwurk om rûn te snuffeljen yn wat jo oan it dwaan binne. Sels as jo ferkear fersifere is, kinne se noch hieltyd sjen hokker websites jo besykje. En as jo in app brûke dy’t gjin fersifering biedt – en sels hjoed de dei binne dat der noch in protte – dan kinne se alles sjen wat jo dogge.
