🛡️ Life Skills & Safety

When using public Wi-Fi networks (e.g., in a cafe or airport), which security measure is most important to protect your personal data from potential eavesdropping?

A Turn off your device's Bluetooth.
B Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
C Only visit websites with "http://" in their address.
D Set your browser's homepage to a search engine.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet connection, creating a secure tunnel for your data, which is crucial when using unsecured public Wi-Fi networks where malicious actors might try to intercept your information. Visiting only "http://" websites is incorrect; you should prioritize "https://" for secure connections.
