Hello
I will be traveling soon and wondered how to secure my laptop. The hotel has an Ethernet cable and I did not know if I should /could use my own router with their cable
Secondly, there will be times when I will be using Wi-Fi.
Could you please address the first part then inform me as to the safest way to be secure with Wi-Fi?
I have a list of programs designed to help while using Wi-Fi and wondered if any jump out at you as being worthwhile:
Hotspot Shield, CyberGhost, OkayFreedom, Spotflux, SafeIP or SecurityKISS . The article I was reading said they provide you with the same security as your home router.
However, while researching them, I could not find the downside like slowing the pc etc.
I have Win 8.1 and use Defender and the Windows firewall along with MBAM and SpywareBlaster.
Thank you
Peter
