A VPN for public Wi-Fi
Open networks in cafes, airports and libraries are easy for others to watch. A VPN encrypts your traffic between your device and the VPN server.
What a VPN does for you here
Encrypted before it leaves your device
Other people on the same network cannot read what you send and receive through the VPN tunnel.
Less exposure on open networks
Useful when a network has no password or a password everybody shares.
Pay only when you need it
Buy a short pass for a week of coffee-shop work, with no subscription to remember.
Simple to switch on
Install the app, sign in with the details on My Pass and connect.
Good to know. A VPN encrypts the traffic between your device and the VPN server. It does not make you anonymous and does not protect you from phishing or malware. Always follow local laws and the rules of your school or employer.
Practical tips
- Prefer your phone hotspot or a network you trust when you can.
- Check the address bar for https and never ignore browser warnings, with or without a VPN.
- Turn off file sharing and auto-connect to open networks on your device.
Which pass fits
A 7-day pass is enough for an occasional week on public networks. If you work from cafes most weeks, 30 days covers a full month, and 90 days covers a season.
Choose your pass
Pay once, no automatic renewal. Passes run 7, 30 or 90 days and start when your VPN account is delivered.
Questions about this use
Do I still need to be careful on public Wi-Fi with a VPN?
Yes. A VPN does not block phishing pages or malware. Keep your system updated and be careful what you click.
Does a VPN hide me completely?
No. It encrypts traffic to the VPN server, but sites you log in to still know who you are, and a VPN does not make you anonymous.
Do I need the VPN on at home?
Not necessarily. It is most useful on networks you do not control.
