On public Wi-Fi, personal data is in the air for anyone to grab... unless you use a VPN.
The easy setup VPN app for your computer, phone and tablet:
- Protects you from online identity theft - what a way to ruin a trip.
- Let's you search the web in your own language when abroad.
- Gives you access to sites that are blocked in certain countries.
A VPN protects your identity online. It is especially important when using a credit card or banking online.
