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.

若您要租借暫時的地方進行異地辦公或規劃未來在愛彼迎出去小旅行提供免費 Wi-Fi。就算 Wi-Fi 網路有設定密碼保護也不會立刻開始變得安全與隱私。主機一般來說主機可能正在存取網路以追踪您的上網行為。此外若之前的訪客沒有修改過密碼任何以前的訪客都可以重新連線並與您連線。此外早期的訪客可能已經使用了租借的路由器並安裝了軟體讓他們可以從遠端窺探路由器。有很多東西需要考慮最好不要完全跳過 Wi-Fi 網路而是在您租借的電腦、手機、平板電腦時使用受信任的 VPN 連線到租借項目的網路。此規則同樣適用於酒店。
