information secure when using public Wi-Fi
手機的發展已經從上世紀只局於語音通話功能，進化到今天變成一部全天候多功能的流動裝置，確實有賴互聯網的快速發展及手機應用程式的多元化配合，才帶給今天都市人的無比方便和樂趣。然而這些方便和樂趣都需要數據流量在背後來激活才能產力。
基於有穩定和免費使用數據流量的種種原因，連接公共Wi-Fi於時下人來說已經是一件日常無可避免的事，但是公共Wi-Fi 存在的安全隱患就不是每個人都懂得如何防範或處理？大多數人都是抱着僥倖心態，用一陣子沒那麽恰巧的。可是一旦選中你，後果可能很嚴重！
為確保自己的流動裝置在使用公共Wi-Fi 時受到妥善的安全保護，首要就是確保自己手機的操作系統時刻在最新版本，叧外亦可以參考以下5項安全守則或建議來決定是否連接特定公共Wi-Fi 熱點。
1)反覆核對你將會使用的網路名稱是否配合提供者認可安全網路的名稱，必要時可以向場地職員查詢，確保網路良好才連接。
2)選取半開放式網路代替全開放式網路，網路愈嚴謹，手續愈多，安全性相對愈高。
3)使用一個虛擬私人網路（英語：Virtual Private Network，縮寫為VPN）是一種常用於連接中、大型企業或團體與團體間的私人網路的通訊方法。 它具有混淆數據海盜視線並有效隱藏你的真正身份，而市場上早已提供很多免費VPN 應用程式給用家下載，盡快選取一款可靠VPN來保護自己的流動裝置吧！
4)授權使用雙重認證來保障你使用高風險銀行應用程式時，個人登入資料包括密碼不易被數據海盜竊取作網上盜取你銀行存款之用。
5)忘記關掉~普遍使用者都習慣在不需要使用公共Wi-Fi 後就一走了之，其實專家建議最好把網路忘記，甚至在不需要使用Wi-Fi 時關掉 Wi-Fi功能。
最後多謝各位巴打駐足觀看！在結束本文之前提提大家可以參考以下英文版本，亦希望各位師兄有好用又免費的VPN應用程式，請在此分享和交流。謝謝！
Ensure Device Safety While Using Public Wi-Fi. Next time connect to public Wi-Fi, be prepared!
Connecting to public Wi-Fi is tempting for many reasons, especially if you need to check an app on the fly and want to limit your data usage. Safeguarding the personal information your apps hold while using public Wi-Fi is always risky, so how can you make sure that you’re doing the most you can to keep your information private and secure? As a start, always make sure that your operating system is up-to-date, thereby providing you with base security. While a lot of the security of certain mobile apps comes down to the development of the app, there are a few ways to immediately determine whether connecting to a particular Wi-Fi hotspot is either relatively safe or likely to be too dangerous.
1)Cross-checking the name of the network
Making sure the network name for the public Wi-Fi that appears in your list of available networks is a good first step to ensuring your data will be safe. Check signage or ask the staff at the location offering the Wi-Fi to ensure the name of the network you connect to is the correct one. Many public Wi-Fi connections at cafes, restaurants, or airports have several networks connected to them. Checking that you are connected to the right network is the best start to safely using public Wi-Fi
.
2)Opt for a semi-open network instead of completely open
Semi-open networks require the user to enter an email address or to click on their terms and services before allowing access. Due to the extra security to weed out the bots, these networks are generally more secure than those that allow the instant connection, and often boast a quicker network speed due to less widespread public usage.
3)Use a VPN
If you have to use public Wi-Fi, the safest option to scramble your outgoing data to confuse data pirates is by using a VPN. There are various apps on the market, like Hotspot Shield, which can provide your mobile connection to public Wi-Fi with more security than should you proceed without one. By using a VPN, your connection is routed through an encrypted tunnel or a set of proxy servers to hide the traffic from you to the internet, making it look like the traffic is coming from the VPN server instead of you, thus making your connection more secure.
4)Enable two-factor authentication
If possible, enable a two-factor authentication process on your apps. Requiring two factors of identity confirmation before signing in to the app provides an extra layer of security for your most personal information, such as banking. While this process is not offered on every app, it’s generally available on financial, social media, and apps that store health-related data. The added protection of a two-factor authentication is peace of mind that third parties will have a more difficult time attempting to breach the data stored within those apps and will likely not follow through.
5)Forget the network and turn off Wi-Fi when not in use
If you have used the public Wi-Fi for its purpose and no longer need to be connected to it, you can go into your settings and choose “forget this network” from the Wi-Fi options. Further, if you’re not actively using your Wi-Fi connection in public, it’s always safest to turn it off completely. Otherwise, your Wi-Fi automatically connects to any network it remembers, which raises your susceptibility to data and information breaches by third parties.
