Do I need a VPN when travelling abroad?

Question

Accepted Answer

A VPN is a great option for most travellers. While you are away you will use hotel, airport, and café Wi-Fi more than when you are at home. These networks are public and used by many different people. Secures connections on public Wi-Fi when you are in airports, hotels or cafés. Keeps your activity private from the provider of that Wi-Fi network. Allows access to servers at home which may be required by some work or bank sites. There are not consistent rules on using a VPN. A few countries have some rules against or restrictions on the use of a VPN. Be sure to check rules for your destination before you go. Install the app and log in before you travel. After travelling it may become more difficult to access app stores and sign up pages.
