How to Use Public Wi-Fi Safely in Germany #

Public Wi-Fi is widely available in Germany, making it convenient to stay connected while on the go. However, using public Wi-Fi networks comes with certain risks, so it’s important to know how to protect your data.

Finding Public Wi-Fi #

• Cafes and Restaurants: Many cafes and restaurants offer free Wi-Fi to customers. Ask the staff for the login details if they’re not displayed.
• Public Spaces: In cities, you can often find free Wi-Fi in public spaces like parks, libraries, and train stations.

Staying Safe on Public Wi-Fi #

• Use a VPN: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) encrypts your internet connection, making it safer to browse on public networks.
