Dangers of Open Wifi Links

ActiveCaptain advises 'Don't use open WiFi'.  Anyone else logged in to the same wifi hot spot can easily eavesdrop on your web traffic. The Updated ActiveCaptain newsflash at https://activecaptain.com/newsletters/2012-01-11.php gives the message. Read on past Drag Queen for detail.

ActiveCaptain have negotiated a special rate with two preferred Virtual Private Network (VPN) suppliers. These services allow you to use and encrypted link to the VPN site and thence to the web, thus bypassing eavesdropping on normal non encrypted web traffic. The preferred suppliers are Astrill and Witopia.
