Safety Tips
Use precautions like the following when connecting to any public network:
- Use care when connecting to any websites that require a password or personal information including social networking sites, online banking services, or any website that stores your credit card information.
- Disable file and printer sharing, as well as AirDrop on Apple devices, to minimize vulnerabilities.
- Make sure your antivirus software is up-to-date.
- Keep your firewall enabled.
- Make sure the sites you visit use HTTPS rather than an unencrypted HTTP connection.
- Consider using a VPN if you access any site that requires a password or personal information.
- Always "forget" the network after use to prevent automatic reconnection.
