If you are renting a temporary place for remote work or planning a future Airbnb getaway, chances are it will come with free WiFi. Even if the WiFi is protected behind a password, that doesn’t make it automatically safe and private. For starters, the host could be accessing the network to track what you do online. Also, if they haven’t changed the password between guests, any prior guest could reconnect alongside you. Plus, an earlier guest could have accessed the rental’s router and installed software that allows them to snoop on it remotely. Much to consider! Short of skipping the WiFi entirely, the best course of action is to use a trusted VPN whenever you’re connecting your computer, phone or tablet to a rental’s internet. This goes for hotels and hostels, too.

如果您正在租用临时场所进行远程工作或计划未来的 Airbnb 度假，那么它很可能会提供免费 WiFi。即使 WiFi 受密码保护，也不会使其自动安全和私密。首先，主机可能正在访问网络以跟踪您的在线活动。此外，如果他们没有更改来宾之间的密码，则任何先前的来宾都可以与您一起重新连接。此外，较早的客人可以访问租赁的路由器并安装允许他们远程窥探路由器的软件。需要考虑很多！除了完全跳过 WiFi，最好的做法是在您将计算机、手机或平板电脑连接到租赁互联网时使用受信任的 VPN。这也适用于酒店和旅馆。
