Wi-Fi networks are all about user convenience. No one wants to use cables for internet connection anymore. While wireless setups are beneficial, they carry risks if Wi-Fi is managed improperly.

Today, a VPN (virtual private network) is definitely one of the best ways to safeguard your privacy online. To be able to do so, however, a VPN should first work properly.
