Hey Blaze, have you ever thought about how often travelers end up on public Wi‑Fi and accidentally expose personal data? I've got a few tricks to keep you safe.
Wow, that’s a super important point! I always get so caught up in the vibe of a new place that I forget about all that tech stuff. Thanks for the heads‑up—tell me your tricks! I’ll definitely have to keep my data safe while I’m out there exploring.
Sure thing. First, always use a VPN – pick one that doesn’t log your traffic. Second, don’t let a free Wi‑Fi hotspot run the local web traffic; use HTTPS everywhere and enable your browser’s built‑in “secure‑by‑default” mode if you can. Third, disable automatic connections to open networks in your device settings, and whenever you need to connect, use a mobile hotspot from your phone instead of the free one. Finally, keep your OS and apps updated; the last thing you want is a zero‑day that exploits an old vulnerability. Stay paranoid, stay safe.
