Evil-twin hotspots

Attackers set up fake networks named like the real café Wi-Fi. Once you join, they see everything unencrypted. A VPN makes the captured traffic useless to them.

Packet sniffing

On open Wi-Fi, simple tools can read unencrypted requests from everyone on the network. The encrypted tunnel removes anything readable.

Session hijacking

Unprotected sessions can be hijacked to access accounts you're logged into. RunVPN protects the whole connection, not just one site.

Protected on every device

Phone, laptop, tablet — one subscription covers up to 5 devices, so each one is safe the moment it joins an open network.

Why public Wi-Fi is risky

An open network has no encryption between your device and the router. That means anyone nearby with free tools can watch unprotected traffic, and attackers can stand up fake hotspots that look identical to the real one. You usually can't tell a safe network from a hostile one by looking — which is exactly why the safe move is to encrypt your own connection regardless of the network.

You can't trust the network — so encrypt your own traffic.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I really need a VPN on public Wi-Fi?+

On open networks your traffic can be intercepted by others nearby. A VPN encrypts it end to end, which is the simplest reliable way to stay safe on Wi-Fi you don't control.

Isn't HTTPS enough on public Wi-Fi?+

HTTPS protects individual sites, but not every connection uses it, and the domains you visit still leak. A VPN encrypts everything and hides which sites you open.

Does RunVPN slow down hotel or airport Wi-Fi?+

RunVPN uses efficient modern protocols, so the overhead is small. On slow venue Wi-Fi the bottleneck is the network itself, not the VPN.
