Some security experts compare the dangers of unprotected WiFi to having unprotected sex. If web users do not take the necessary protections, there may be lasting consequences. Every day unprotected travelers lose personal data, passwords, financial information, private photos, and videos.
Travelers know that using WiFi hotspots can be dangerous. Nonetheless, they keep on using them, according to a study by privatewifi.com. Three-quarters of people admitted to connecting to their personal email while on public WiFi. About 70-75 percent of the public use unsecured public WiFi when away from the office.
Hotspots for WiFi are open systems. Therefore, anyone can join and anyone can see what others are saying in an email or reading online. Bank account numbers can be stolen. Social security numbers can be compromised. Passwords can be discovered. Easy-to-download programs can capture information packets from nearby computers using public WiFi systems.

Don’t work from home on an unsecured computer or smartphone. Why roll the dice whenever you log into any WiFi network at hotels, coffee shops, or airports? Travelers United Plus includes secure WiFi through a VPN as part of the membership fee. Use it anywhere at any time whenever you travel out of your front door.
Travelers United Plus will shroud your Web identity. Therefore, it allows your email to move across the Web without being compromised. A VPN allows users whenever they’re away from home to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. VPNs can be used to access region-restricted websites, shield your browsing activity from prying eyes on public WiFi, and more.
Travelers United VPN covers five connected devices
VPNs essentially forward all your network traffic to the remote network. The Travelers United Plus program can stay located in the US. The benefits of accessing local network resources remotely and bypassing Internet censorship make staying in touch easier.
Protect yourself and your data
- Hide Browsing Activity: When using a public WiFi connection, unsecured websites can be hacked by everyone nearby if they know how to look. Always check to see if a site has HTTPS. Connecting to a VPN, such as the Travelers United Plus system, allows travelers to hide browsing activity for more privacy. Anyone trying to steal information from the local network only sees a single, secure VPN connection. All the other Web traffic travels over the VPN connection, not the local network.
- Access Geo-Blocked Websites: An American can access a Netflix account while traveling out of the country. Travelers can use American media sites like Pandora and Hulu. They can access these region-restricted services if connected to a US VPN. Note: Netflix and some other subscription sites have installed systems to prevent using their services via VPNs.
- Other Geo-Blocked Websites: Match.com shifts to the local countries when traveling — a VPN allows wannabe lovers to stay in contact. Plus, some online travel agents provide different rates to local travelers than those supplied to websites in the USA. Checking hotel prices and airfares “at home” and locally can score travelers some secret bargains.
- Bypass Internet Censorship: Many people in closed societies use VPNs to get around the national firewalls and gain access to the entire Internet. (However, these countries are cracking down on VPNs, just like Netflix.)
- Use secure passwords. Our password manager makes it easy.
Travelers United Plus Cybersecurity works from your home office and anywhere you use your computer, iPad, or smartphone.

Other cyber security features from Travelers United Plus: Password Manager and Secure Swiss Server
Monitoring passwords is hard enough. Our password manager makes it easier to use a strong and unique password for every website. Members remember their Master Password, and our tool will automatically fill in their unique username and password on any login screen. It will also fill in the checkout form for faster online checkouts. Members may store unlimited passwords, save time, and skip the hassle of online forms.
Your online Swiss vault is also included with your membership. Protect your passport, medical records, and other data in an online Swiss vault. Your data is protected by Swiss laws, which are some of the most restrictive in the world. Personal data is defined as a “precious good” and is housed in one of the country’s numerous Cold War-era army barracks, tucked away from view behind four-tonne steel doors built to withstand a nuclear attack. The tight security includes biometric scanners and an armed guard, while its exact GPS location remains a secret.
We will release a Traveler Bill Of Rights App that will include all the DOT rules and many of our posts. You can file complaints directly from the App and have them sent to DOT and the various airlines.
