Hi there, Kristinn Spence here with a new short tutorial for you guys
How to stay safer when using hotspots or public wifi that other people have access to as well
because now a day attacks such as arp poisoning and others are pretty common and as well as honey pot attacks that hackers utilize
to steal cryptocurrencies from people and also of course standard viruses and trojans.
But how to make yourself pretty much immune to Man-In-The-Middle MITM attacks and ARP poisoning and Honeypots
is basically best to run through a VPN and change your DNS servers for basic protection
Now a VPN is a virtual private network that routes all your internet traffic through a secure server out in the world so that all your traffic is handled by that server before you even go to a website or do anything on the internet it goes directly to that server before anything else.
But of course it will not 100% make you safe but it will increase the safety a lot and decrease the chances that you will be hacked.
you can get any VPN server on the internet like express VPN, tunnelbear, hotspot shield or others a simple google search will do the trick or you can find cheap ones on underground forums.
then after you do that right click on your connection and you are going to change your dns servers so that your ISP is not handling your DNS
also sometimes your internet connection becomes faster
here are details on how to change it
