How to prevent (as user) reading/logging websites and traffic at the WLAN (wireless) router? public proxy usage?
Assume I am sitting in a public location like bar or hotel lobby and use the public wireless (WLAN) service
to surf the Internet. Ok, I am using a WPA2 key encryption for the way mynotebook---WLAN Router So this step is safe against logging. But then the WLAN router decrypt my (DNS) requests, my emails and all other stuff. An evil guy could log all this traffic into a logfile. How can I prevent this? I am not talking about military grade saftey but just avoiding the possibility to log my traffic at the used Router? Suggestion: If I use a (public) proxy (which I trust). Then the way mynotebook----WLAN-Router---------Proxy should be completely (!) hidden. Is this correct? Any other suggestion? Peter |

Don't use public wifi if you are so paranoid about security. Please note there is no such thing as complete security and even Micro**** will tell you that. Why do you think Micro****'s products are still being pirated left, right and centre despite all the anti-piracy measures implemented by nutters at Redmond Hill? they couldn't even manage nntp groups so what made you say they can secure your system fully? They keep pumping out security patches month after month and the system is still the same! |
