Public Wi-Fi hotspots, protect your privacy with hotspot shield

Ok, public Wi-Fi hotspots are great but... but they are extremely dangerous for your privacy and your sensible datas like credit card etc.. The solution to this problem consists that we have to create a VPN network between your laptop and the wireless router.

Hotspot Shield is a free security software that creates a virtual private network (VPN) and do this for us. This impenetrable tunnel created with the VPN prevents snoopers and hackers from viewing our email, instant messages, sniff our credit card information or anything else that we send over a wireless network.

Hotspot Shield security software is free to download. Check it out.
