A practical checklist for using public Wi-Fi
Confirm the network name and complete any legitimate hotspot login before connecting.
Check public Wi-Fi first
Confirm the network name and complete any legitimate hotspot login before connecting. Keep HTTPS warnings visible, avoid unexpected certificate installations and turn off automatic joining when you leave.
Know what the tunnel protects
A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and its server. HTTPS protects the connection to a website. Neither prevents you from sharing personal information on a website or signing in to a phishing page.
Protect your account
Use a unique password and review your current plan's device rules. Share only the diagnostic details support needs. Remove passwords, verification codes, payment details and private URLs from screenshots.
