VPN

A VPN is a virtual private network

• VPNs provide privacy and certain levels of anonymity. There is a larger debate to this topic. But for the average daily user, a VPN service is a good addition to your security.

  • VPNs are also great privacy tools when on Public Wi-Fi. This will help in protecting you in the event a malicious network is joined.

    • Note: Bad actors will sometimes create a Wi-Fi network where other public Wi-Fi networks may be available. They may also try to use the same SSID (in other words, the name of the public network.) These are generally called man-in-the-middle attacks.

  • Options:

    • NordVPN

    • OpenVPN

    • Wireguard
