Have you ever wondered how secure your Internet connection is when using a public WiFi hotspot?
The answer is: It is not secure at all!

Actually, it is not secure even when you are using Internet at home. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be watching your Internet activity (and in some cases they are required to). Logs are being kept recording data about every website you have visited. In addition, on some badly structured networks, even normal lan users can "sniff" each other's traffic. What is the result? Your private information is exposed to anyone interested. Your bank accounts, credit card numbers, personal information, chats are not safe anymore.

How do they do it?
There are freeware programs that catch the packets transferred in the network. See the following examples of ways to steal your personal information:

Password Catcher

AIM chat sniffer

Browsing data sniffer

In the case above, the owner of the WiFi router (or the owner of the LAN network) can capture all your traffic and monitor all your activities. In this case your connection is not encrypted and he can easily retrieve any personal information.

By using WiFi Guardian you are establishing an encrypted connection to one of our secure servers. As a consequence, the WiFi router or the LAN administrator is between YOU and our SERVER. Your traffic is now encrypted, then passes by the WiFi/LAN administrator and goes to our Server, where it is decrypted and directed to the Internet. The connection is securely returned to you in the same way:



We have to point out that, we don't store any information about your surfing. We only keep logs of when you are connected/disconnected as well as traffic bandwidth for statistics and account management purposes.
