It’s a beautiful Saturday morning, and you’ve settled down on a park bench to sip a coffee and catch up on your favorite news sites, watch a few videos and do some quick online shopping while getting sun and fresh air. Rather than draining your allotted mobile data, you hop onto your city’s public WiFi service. It’s free, and run by the city, so it must be ok, right? The fact is, you can’t be certain the municipal network is secure or even real (see the next point) and set up to protect you from malicious people or entities spying on you while you’re connected. Turning on a VPN can help protect your device from anyone who tries to snoop on the sites you’re visiting or hijack your sensitive login information while you’re kicked back on that park bench any day of the week.

Il es un belle sabbato matino, e tu es sedite sur un banco de parco pro saporar un caffe e leger tu favorite sitos de novas, spectar alcun videos e facer un poco de compras in linea durante que tu prende sol e aere fresc. In vice de exhaurir tu allocation de datos mobile, tu accede al servicio de rete WiFi public de tu citate. Es gratuite e gerite per le municipalitate… debe esser bon, no? Le facto es que tu non pote esser certe que le rete municipal es secur o mesmo real (vide le sequente puncto), ni que illo te protege contra personas o entitates maligne que te spia durante que tu es connectite. Activar un VPN pote adjutar a proteger tu apparato contra quicunque tenta spiar le sitos que tu visita o robar tu credentiales sensibile durante que tu relaxa sur ille banco de parco in un die qualcunque del septimana.
