VPN Misconception: Public WiFi & Data Protection

https://youtu.be/h6SaBt2My80

---

A common misconception pushed by VPN ads is that your data isn't secure on public WiFi without a VPN, but is secure with a VPN. Well, I'm here to explain that there is actually a surprisingly minimal difference nowadays in regards to the security of your data whether you are or are not running a VPN on public WiFi. Please note that this video has nothing to do with anonymity, it only discusses the protection of sensitive information entered into a website (such as logins or credit card numbers).

Hey, I would like to let you know that with hive, you may earn tokens in hive.engine.com. And I found your content here : [VPN Misconception: Public WiFi & Data Protection](https://stemgeeks.net/privacy/@natebowie/vpn-misconception-public-wifi-and-data-protection). Because in [STEMGeeks Community](https://stemgeeks.net/privacy/@natebowie/vpn-misconception-public-wifi-and-data-protection) the tag #technology is considered to make hive posts appear there. In stemgeeks.net I mean. So, you may see your page here : https://stemgeeks.net/@natebowie

And to login to such front ends, you may use [hivekeychain](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/hive-keychain/jcacnejopjdphbnjgfaaobbfafkihpep?hl=en). It's the most secure way to login to websites and applications on hive blockchain because it saves keys only on your device. 

The same about DCC token. We don't have a frontend but I use the token to reward those who create collaborations or help me with @dcooperation. I already sent you some DCCs for your entry in the movie, what you can find here in your wallet : https://hive-engine.com/

To login also use hive keychain. It works only on pc.

👍 stemgeeks, natebowie, stemcuration, yggdrasil.laguna
