My gym has no service and I like to go on my phone when I rest.

My phone told me to get their vpn, but I researched and found out that the phone company and their vpn provider will know everything you do and that it's really not safe.

So if yall use vpns for your phone, what do you guys recommend that's best ?

NEVER EVER USE FREE VPNS. They will sell your information to other companies.

Can't tell the difference between underlined text and Url brehs. :hamster: (Two links only) .


Think people with tings to do only uses spotify brehs :picard: .


Don't understand how an open network increases the risk of 3rd parties installing their own DNS (and other software) settings brehs. :martin: .



Subject/verb agreement brehs. :trash:



Can't be bothered to scroll down to answer no. 2 on stackoverflow brehs. :wtf:




Ok. Breh. There is no difference.

Don't have time to argue to help people help themselves brehs. :cape:.


HYOL.. :hhh:

Are you always this triggered? :heh:

URL and underlined text look the same until hovered over. I assumed someone as deep in the red as you has a history of shyt posting and routinely fukks up linking. :manny:

Again, your two links didn't disparage the use of HTTPs and didn't even mention whatever else you're talking about. Use this opportunity to school us in laymens instead of being hoe-motional we're not IT majors. :heh:


Not like I log into anything important of public Wifi...

These images are from the 1st link breh. Answer 2. That is exactly what I was talking about.

This is NOT a link breh...

If you want to check just look at the source html. Not to mention that the three punctuated images suggest as much in that they are aligned with statements/information not links.

Layman's terms == yes because 1. elements of your request are visible and 2. open networks have a higher risk of 3rd parties installing malicious software on them including the potential for man in the middle attacks. Not to mention that they can use the anonymity to attack your device.

READ: CVE - Home

MITMAs can happen anywhere but on an open network the chances of one are higher.


"Messing up links".. More like "can't read brehs" :manny: .

You just had to scroll down on link1 breh. Was that too much to do?

No one is talking about what you do in public. These comments are in the context of the OP.

I'm not triggered. I was being funny. You are the one getting emotional.

Sorry for the terse answer but I am a bit busy innit.

Good look. I'll look into NordVPN and PIA.

I won't. My phone company wants me to pay 3.99 for it and the vpns others have mentioned cost money too.

I think the phones vpn keeps my information and it gives it to macafee too.
