Risks of public networks
Untrusted networks can expose some metadata and create opportunities for fake access points or malicious login portals.
How a VPN helps
A VPN encrypts traffic between your device and the VPN server, reducing what other people on the same network can observe.
Other important steps
Confirm the network name, use HTTPS, turn off unnecessary sharing, install updates and avoid entering passwords into suspicious portals.
