Why Is Public Wi-Fi Vulnerable?

Most public WiFi networks, such as in restaurants, coffee shops, and airports, are not password-protected. A password serves as an encryption method to secure communication between the user and the access point. A hacker can easily join the internet and intercept the exposed network traffic for stealing data or modifying your DNS requests.

How Does OysterVPN Protect Me?

Encryption is the key to online security. It is the process of scrambling data into an unreadable format so that only the intended recipient of that data can decrypt it. OysterVPN creates a virtual tunnel between you and the VPN server and encrypts your data using AES 256-bit encryption - the strongest symmetric encryption standard. Any entity intercepting the internet traffic cannot make use of the encrypted data.

3 Types Of Wi-Fi Security Risks

Packet Sniffing

Unencrypted data is vulnerable. A hacker can intercept data packets flowing between your device and the access point for malicious purposes. The data packets can include important information, such as passwords or any other confidential information.

Rogue Wi-Fi Networks

A rogue WiFi network is also called an Evil Twin. It is an access point that impersonates the real access point to lure users into connecting to it. The rogue intercepts the internet traffic between your device and the real access point.

Man In The Middle Attacks

Man In The Middle Attacks A Man-in-the-Middle attack relies on a vulnerable network to intercept communication. The hacker can not only intercept and steal data but influence your internet traffic, such as tampering with data packets or DNS queries to direct you to malicious web pages.

How Can I Protect Myself On Unsecured Wi-Fi?

Turn on OysterVPN when you connect to a public Wi-Fi network. The VPN will protect your data with AES 256-bit encryption, giving you the much-needed security to safely browse the internet, share personal information, log in to bank accounts, or make transactions online.

Frequently asked questions

Any Wi-Fi network that uses a weak security protocol, a weak or no password is vulnerable to hacking attempts.
Always connect to known public Wi-Fi access points. Confirm with the staff about the access point name. And never connect and use unprotected wireless networks before turning on VPN.
Web Encryption Protocol (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2), Wi-Fi Protected Access 3 (WPA3) are all security protocols used to authentication and encryption between the client and the router. With WEP and WPA being old and vulnerable protocols, it is highly-recommended that you always use WPA2 (TKIP/AES) and WPA3.
