[QUOTE="Ink, post: 946137, member: 3"] Using a WiFi network with untrusted nodes is the same as a public hotspot. A weak or default password to access the Router settings and WiFi Network puts you at risk. [LIST] [*]A DNS does not protect your browsing sessions. [*]A VPN will hide your traffic to others on the network. [/LIST] Paid privacy VPNs may be costly on a limited budget. Windscribe offer 10GB Free upon registration for PC and Mobile. Opera VPN via browser is Free and Unlimited, at the cost of Speed and "Opera is Chinese-owned = Automatic Spying and Malware" according to some. [LIST] [*]Internet Banking ([B]browser[/B]) is prone to phishing sites, and other nasties on your PC / Network can affect your security. [*]Recommend to switch to [B]Mobile Banking[/B] as it's much more secure on a trusted device. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
