That was in 2020 and now, more than ever, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.careersingovernment.com\/tools\/gov-talk\/about-gov\/virtual-everything\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">working remotely<\/a> has become a new normal. And to some people, it\u2019s become a lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDigital nomads\u201d are people who work as they travel the globe. In 2021, there are nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/abrotherabroad.com\/digital-nomad-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">35 <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">million<\/span><\/a> of these \u201con-the-go\u201d employees, with <a href=\"https:\/\/s29814.pcdn.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/MBO-Digital-Nomad-Report-2020-Revised.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">18 percent<\/a> of Americans looking to adopt this nomadic lifestyle in the next two to three years. Since digital nomads are constantly traveling as they work, safe and accessible internet is a top priority and a necessity for everyday life.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you aren\u2019t one of these digital nomads, connecting to WiFi safely is still something to be knowledgeable about. Between hackers and other cyber threats, navigating the world of public internet can put your technology at risk of viruses and stolen information. That\u2019s why it\u2019s more important now than ever to learn about public WiFi and how best to safeguard your information.<\/p>\n<p>So, whether you\u2019re traveling the world on your remote job, or simply doing work at your favorite cafe, consider this your remote employee\u2019s guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/us.norton.com\/internetsecurity-how-to-how-to-get-free-wi-fi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">finding safe, free WiFi<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Connect to a free, public WiFi hotspot<\/h4>\n<p>Working from home can get a bit old. Sitting in the same room every day without other people or coworkers puts a strain on morale. Because of this, doing work at a public space like a cafe or restaurant has become a popular home-office alternative for remote workers. And, to that same junction, a mecca for digital nomads.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are risks associated with connecting to a free, public WiFi hotspot. Because most public hotspots are not encrypted, they\u2019ve become a popular way for hackers to steal information from technological devices like laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Data security should be your number one priority. When connecting to public networks, here are some tips to keep in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid logging into sites containing your sensitive information<\/strong>, like banks, student accounts, and other places that may be more personal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Only visit websites that have \u201cHTTPS\u201d in front of them<\/strong>, as this is an indicator of a secure site.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a virtual private network (VPN)<\/strong> to encrypt your browser and protect your device from hackers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

Personal hotspots take seconds to set up, and can be accessed on your smartphone or tablet.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>For Android devices:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Phone settings \u2192\u00a0 \u201cWireless &amp; Networks\u201d \u2192\u00a0 \u201cTethering &amp; Portable Hotspot\u201d \u2192 \u201cPortable Wi-Fi hotspot\u201d \u2192 Create a strong password, then slide the bar to activate your hotspot.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><strong>For iOS devices:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>P<\/em><em>hone settings \u2192 \u201cPersonal Hotspot\u201d \u2192 Make a strong password, and tap the slider to \u201cAllow Others to Join.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While personal hotspots are a game-changer as you\u2019re on the go, it\u2019s important to recognize the drawbacks and risks associated with this type of connection, too. After all, it is only running on a 3G or 4G network. A personal hotspot not only eats up battery life but can put a strain on your cellular data bill as well. Not to mention, a personal hotspot may not be the best choice for streaming services or other activities that require a strong connection.<\/p>\n<p>Also, it\u2019s essential to still be mindful of hackers, and create a password that is unique and complex. This way, hackers will have a harder time gaining access to your devices and information.<\/p>\n<h4>Invest in a portable router<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, portable routers have become a popular way to get WiFi on the go. These are essentially the exact routers you have set up in your home, minus all of the cables and chords and clunkiness. They\u2019re compact, easy to transport, and a great option for accessible internet.<\/p>\n<p>However, these routers can be a bit expensive and aren\u2019t entirely hackerproof. And they aren\u2019t free. But, with the added cost of a portable router, you\u2019re getting what you pay for: stronger connection, better internet, and safer WiFi.
