(Before It's News)

If you own a laptop, it is expected that you have information in it that you rate as very important and which you would not just wish to be out there on public domain. However, at times this gets tricky especially when we consider public connections like WiFi. When you are connected on this public connection, it is possible that someone may have access to what you have in your laptop.

Mac and Windows

But, there is some good news for Mac and Windows users from Boingo. It has an app that makes the public WiFi session on your laptop as discrete as you possibly would want it to be. Boingo is planning on porting its VPN from iOS to Wi-Finder app which will make the connection encrypted from a close-by-server. This encryption is what will secure the information on Mac and Windows users laptops from snoopers.

The current VPN is a free and doesn’t require a paid Boingo hotspot yet compromises your information security. The sooner you get hold of the new app, the better you secure your important information from others at public WiFi connection spots.
